How to Save Money at Ocean Park Veterinary 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.

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.

Such kind and caring people at this vet. We have multiple pets and they are great with all of them. No pressure to do expensive and unnecessary tests. When we had to put our lab down last year Dr McPhee was so kind and made an awful experience as painless as possible for our family,

Could not ask for a nicer vet...Erin always greeted our dog sat on the floor and made a huge fuss of her. She was never scared to visit the vet, in fact she loved going, even on her very last journey... The staff are also very helpful, kind and patient. When my heart is healed and we start all over again, we will definitely use Ocean Park vet clinic!

I find the staff helpful and friendly. The vetranarian who sees my dogs is very forthright and offers a variety of treatment options and is always clear about the risks and benefits of each. She's made dealing with my elderly dog's health concerns easier to understand and easier to cope with.

Staff was VERY RUDE. The vet kept me waiting for over an hour. We had a 3pm appointment and she wasn't even in the office, showed up with a Starbucks at 4pm. When she finally looked at my dog's hotspots she told us we need over $200 in meds. Will NEVER go to this Vet again. STAY AWAY!! There are far better vets in the White Rock area.

Dr. MacFee is our vet for both cat and dog. Had to go somewhere else once and it was a bad experience. For health or grooming, awsome people!
