How to Save Money at Sunset 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've been very helpful and did their best to work with our limited budget. We are very grateful for their care and advice in diagnosing Mango's sudden onset of Addison's disease and ongoing treatment. Dr. Enrique and Dr. Wessen were wonderful, and the staff extremely helpful. They've been very patient with our numerous phone calls.

I have never been in a most beautiful place, Dr. Kim, was extremely helpful and kind with our dog and He considered to be up to us to take him back home with us, NO PAYMENT!!! That was unexpected and unusual. I went to the clinic where you work and the kindest of the front desk lady with my dog and my family, thank you Sunset Animal Hospital. My dog Mario is doing great.

I took my poodle here for a broken leg (she broke 2 bones). We were seen by Dr. Wesson and Kris within 30 minutes of arrival. I cannot express how relieved I was by Dr. Wesson's and Kris' professionalism, bedside manner, and treatment of my pup. They found a less radical treatment than an orthopedic surgery to limit my pup's discomfort and healing time. They answered all of my questions in an easily understandable manner. In addition, they also only charged me half the price for the X-Rays of my baby's leg. Sunset Animal Hospital is also extremely clean. I will definitely return for further treatment of Ruby. The staff took a very stressful experience and made it as pleasant as possible. Your pet is in good hands here!

Amazing staff! I came to the hospital with my cattle dog after a dog fight. At the same time I was balancing my husband's care at MD Anderson. The staff was SO kind and caring and worked in my dog and took great care of him. I cannot say enough about this team!!!

This was my first time here and I had an above the bar experience. My dog, Simba, has been sick for a few days and to make a long story short, I was nervous he wouldn’t make it through the night so I came in on a Sunday. I was hesitant because I just knew the bill would be insane due to it being a weekend. The front desk was very transparent about the pricing, and wait time, which ended up not being that bad at all. The facility was very clean and everyone was friendly. What I really want to make this post about is the vet, Gary! He was so kind and even did me a huge favor which I will never forget the kindness that was shown here. It can be exhausting, expensive and nerve wrecking going to an emergency animal vet on a weekend, but Gary went above and beyond with compassion and I am so grateful. Will forever recommend this place!
