How to Save Money at Brentwood 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.

This place was able to get me in for a last minute urgent care check up. However they don’t let you go back into the examination room with your pet, which is unusual to me. They also entered my cats vaccination records incorrectly. They did a good job with treating my cat but I’m going to plan to go to a different vet where I can see my cat get examined and be there to support her.

I had to change my review. I was happy during my initial experience until I came back for a checkup for my first cat, and a vaccination for my second cat. This office decided to administer vaccination for the first cat before the due date while he was taking antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection and eye infection; my second cat was due for a vaccination. Before the first cat’s vaccination, he was taking medication and was getting much better and was back to his normal outgoing self. After the vaccination, my cat’s symptoms returned to an even worst state. My second cat is fine, as she was before. I brought my first cat back the doctor so that they could examine him but because I left the medicine at home (by accident) the doctor placed the blame on me and assumed that I wasn’t giving him the medication (by the way, this office requests bringing any/all medication along with medical records to every appointment with your animal, no matter how many times that same animal has visited). I’m starting to believe that my first cat should’ve never received vaccination while on medication for a current issue. They offered to prescribe him stronger medication and x rays, however this is now doubling the cost of what I paid for to get the medication needed for the first cat initially.

Over priced and will scam you. I went to get the rabies vaccination for my dog. Wanted the three year rabies vaccination, was told that they carry it. But then gave him the one year one and said that he was unable to get it due to his vaccination being expired. Being in the medical field and having veterinary parents this is not an actual excuse. I believe it was due to them wanting me to come in next year to pay more money for the next rabies vaccine. I also went to get my dogs teeth cleaned there prior and they added over a couple hundred dollars to the total. These were on expenses he didn't need. Was able to get the couple hundred dollars taken off but it was defiantly a process.

I had a hard time locating a place to have my pup treated for a broken leg. I sat down and called several vets. I’m distress many turned down helping. I sat down for hours calling places and no one seemed to be able service my pup. I’m not Sure if it seemed to be a risk or not because I wasn’t told why they “couldn’t” help specifically. This hospital show nothing but love, care and support. They were unbiased towards me and my Pup. And gave us the upmost respect. I’ll always remember and appreciate that. No matter the outcome of my pup, our family schnauzer, checkers , will never forget them.

Lovely space with friendly front desk and doctors! Got a lucky same day appt and my cat treated for ~30 min. It's also pretty affordable. The visit fee is $65 and the anul gland work is $40. With other medicines, I spent less than $200 while I got a >$1k quote from another vet clinic chain. Will stay here for future checks definitely!
