How to Save Money at Hidden Hills 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.

They take very great care of our senior dog and middle-aged dog. Our senior dog has skin sensitivity issues and his hair is finally starting to grow back from his scratching. And our other dog hurt his back somehow and could barely walk. We took him in and the doctor stretched his back and legs out and he's back to normal. No unnecessary tests. They don't like doing stuff unless it's truly needed. We love that! Very happy with HHAH.

My little girl was diagnosed with IBD back in April. I was referred to the specialist and she have been in treatment since. Yesterday she started to get sick with the same symptoms so I called the specialist for a consultation.. no one was available to talk to me and i was supposed to get a call back. Today I called back but same thing! My baby was in so much pain could hardly walk so I call Hidden Hills and they were willing to help us… got a same day appointment I even got to talk on the phone with Doctor Parker right away.. she was awesome and caring! I took my baby there right away and now she’s good on the way to recovery! Thank you so much I have no worlds to express how thankful I am ! You guys are the Best!! After 6 years going from Vet to Vet finally I found the very BEST IN TOWN ! Hidden Hills !!

Very professional and knowledgeable. Fair and unlike most vets reasonable. A few years back my cat Hunter was having issues urinating. Quickly became septic and was dieing fast. In extreme pain I drove him around and heard vets tell me they wanted anywhere from 1800-2500 just to start. They knew he needed a catheter and antibiotics but suggested surgery first and expensive tests or just to put him down. Nearly 5pm at this point I had spent 4 hours with no luck as he was slowly passing I contemplated putting him down. My last option was hidden hills animal hospital. They without asking for money upfront took him and immediately gave him a catheter and antibiotics, kept him for a day or two and gave him back. I didn't deserve how I was treated that day and thank them for the extreme measure of grace I was given. Most grateful, Aaron

We have been with Hidden Hills now for 10+ years. While you don't always get the best news, they are the most compassionate and fair Vets we have ever had. They've helped is through the passing of 3 of our treasured Doggos. Dr. Parker is the BEST, and we consider her a beloved family friend, along with all the Staff. RIP Daisy Mae, we'll miss you sweet girl, we Love you... say Hi to Jack Bower and Trixie Roxy for us.
