How to Save Money at Spring Valley Animal Med 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.

Had to have our baby put to sleep. Dr Zito and the gentleman that assisted her were very empathetic and sympathetic. They made it comfortable for us to be there. Thank you

Took my dog in as an emergency situation. My dog was unknown to them. I appreciate the reception we rec'd. Appropriate, efficient care was delivered. Everyone was very kind. I especially liked that vet was in head toe tye die! Will take dog in for routine visit so can speak to cost. Only disappointment, vet has not responded to my email inquiry. They have Sat. hours.

I'm writing to set the story straight. Many people are getting this clinic, "Spring Valley Animal Medical Hospital" on Grand Avenue mixed up with another Clinic in Spring Valley. The Spring Valley Animal Hospital uses the name, "Spring Valley Veterinary Clinic" on YELP and GOOGLE. This is extremely confusing. Dr Simpson has owed, Spring Valley Veterinary Clinic at 9973 Campo Road for 40 years. Clients from the SVAMH have been posting reviews on Yelp and google that are effecting the ratings for the Spring Valley Veterinary Clinic. Please be sure when you are posting a review, that you are talking about the correct business. Erika G, you have never been to SVVC. Your review was incorrect.
