How to Save Money at VCA Devotion Animal Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

5 plus stars in my book! I live out of the area and my puppy was injured while under anothers care. My pup was brought to Devotional and was seen by Dr. Goetze, DVM. Dr. Goetze, nurse and the Devotional staff I've spoke with are very compassionate and experienced at addressing my concerns. We have had 1 follow up and 2 more to go -- scheduling has worked around my 3 hour round trip drive. I love that the phone is always answered by a person and hold time is momentary. I have called a number of times with questions and Dr. Goetze always returns my calls. I have gone to vets in the Bay Area for at least 40 years and never felt as comfortable or confident that my pup is being cared for by the best.

Do NOT come here. They will try to get you to buy there $700 plan and say it’s cheaper. It’s not. It’s double what you will pay for there shots was a BIG mistake ever coming here.

This is the place to go for the best pet care possible! My wife and I had 3 cats, our oldest Harley is my pfp and VCA helped us care for him in the last of his 18 years and make them the best they could possibly be. When Harley man decided it was time to head on they were more than accommodating to get us in the same day so Harley could have a peaceful transition. It was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do but VCA was incredible and we will keep bringing our 2 other nerds back so they too can live as long and as healthy as possible. Thank you VCA from the bottom of our hearts you all rock!!

I wish I were visiting these folks under different circumstances, as it seems every visit is insanely expensive even with my "good guy" discount! I am grateful in the end, as everyone seems to have a great deal of empathy and concern for our pets, which in my case is my almost 15 year old Border Collie "BooBoo".. My heartfelt Thanks to you all!
