How to Save Money at Animal Clinic of Tustin Ranch Irvine

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.

Getting 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.

I was searching for a new Vet for my elderly Cat, when he got sick, and no one could see him , not even my regular Mobile Vet. I found Dr. HOLDEN on Google and read the reviews. They were not all positive, BUT they tried very hard to fit me in and did for the next morning. LUZ, was very sweet and wanted to take care of us since she would have the day off on our appointment. We were greeted by a very hard-working and kind person, MEAGAN. She was working the front by herself, and never got frazzled, stayed sweet and professional. Then KRISTEN, the Vet Tech came for us, and she specializes in Cat Care. She was fantastic and knowledgeable and put both of us at ease. DR. HOLDEN came in, and I instantly liked her demeanor and how she treated my Cat. She explained everything and had prepared herself reading A LOT of notes that were sent from past Vets. We spoke about my Cat being almost 16 years and having already been diagnosed with Diabetes, kidney disease, and a heart murmur. She said she could do a few tests and others for more answers but never pressured me at all. I know he may not have a lot of time left, and every day is a gift. She complemented me on taking such good care of my Cat (son). The prices were reasonable as everything has gone up everywhere!. I will wait for the results now. PLEASE don't hesitate to take your Fur Babies here. If you are like me and the doctor and staff are the most important, I feel confident in recommending this Vet Clinic after just one visit!

I really like this place! The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The doctor was also extremely friendly and informative. She was very thorough in her examination and explanation. She provided all the treatment options, and they were very transparent in their fees. I’m going to transfer my other cat’s treatment over to this office.

Loving, kind staff and extremely knowledgeable and empathetic doctor. We love Dr. Holden and this clinic. My furbabies are truly treated as family. We had our hands held during our most difficult time of putting Xyrus to sleep to avoid furthering his pain and trauma. We could not have made it through without them. Thank you.

My experience in their office was fine--nothing to write a positive or negative review about. But 24 hours after my visit, the police were at my door telling me that Animal Clinic of Tustin Ranch Irvine had filed a report that my cat bit one of their techs. I was shocked because no one in their office even told me the bite occurred--no mention or indication whatsoever. I have since put together that it must have happened when they took my back into the back without me to give him shots. This is not the kind of surprise you want to get, and it was of course terrifying because I didn't know if they were there to take my cat from me or why the police needed to see me and my cat. Awful experience. I will never return and I encourage you to go elsewhere, too.

We have been coming here for at least 6 years! I love that Allison, in the front, goes out of her way to give our dogs love every time they come in. I have some medical background and trust and respect Dr. Holden! Our dogs also come here for their non-anesthetic dental cleanings.
