How to Save Money at Anza Animal Clinic

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.

When we moved to Thousand Oaks we needed to find a new vet for our 2 cats and dog. We decided upon Anza and couldn’t be happier with our choice. They’ve helped figure out an allergy issue that our Golden Retriever had been dealing with for years, did well visits for our cats, and now help us with vet services for a new puppy. They take their time, answer your questions, and are extremely friendly.

Dr. Alexander is the best. I was so lucky to find her a couple of years ago and drive over 30 minutes to see her because she truly is special. I know all of my pets are in the best care. This clinic is great too. Super calm and organized. Everyone I have interacted with here has been great.

I spoke to the Heather at Anza Animal Clinic yesterday at my the fact that Anza misquoted me for a service, did not go over the plan of care with me or my partner on the phone or when dropping off my cat, FORGED my signature on the plan of care with the estimated prices, and then the vet technician bullied me, refused to listen, and treated me like a criminal. Heather was extremely rude to me on the phone and denied that these events happen. I payed thousands of dollars to Anza and this is not how you treat customers. Yes I am upset about the poor quality veterinary care Anza provided, but that is legal. I am speaking up about the fraud they committed. Please do not take your pet here and put yourself through this kind of emotional trauma.
