How to Save Money at Life Animal Care

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.

Dr. Seda and his team are awesome. I recently took my bulldog for a critical eye issue. They were always accommodating, professional, and extremely patient (my dog can be stubborn!) and gave me helpful recommendations to take home. We will continue to visit Dr. Seda for all our dog’s normal and emergency visits.

My brother recommended this vet clinic. It is local and totally affordable. The vet and the nurse are FANTASIC! He took time with us and asked questions, answered questions, and I felt very comfortable with his treatment of our new baby. I am pretty sure this place will be our permanent vet clinic!

Life Animal Care is wonderful. Its owned by a husband and wife team, no techs. They are so good with our dogs, very patient, get on the floor with them to help make them comfortable and really listen you what you have to say. Their prices are very reasonable too. They also speak Spanish and English.

Dr. Seda is GREAT !!! The care and the service that we received echo that of other positive reviews. We asked friends and coworkers for recommendations on veterinarians. A coworker mentioned Life Animal Care and Dr. Seda. We talked to a few veterinarians and were impressed after speaking to Dr. Seda. After a few tests, Dr. Seda was quick to find the issue with Dude and quickly put Dude and a course for better health. Very attentive, reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Life Animal Care and Dr. Seda to anyone looking for a great veterinarian….. thanks Dude’s family.

We love Life Animal Care! Dr. Seda has done an amazing job with all of our dogs. We have had dogs with diabetes, knee surgery, teeth extractions, lupus to name a few of the reasons we have visited.
