How to Save Money at Affordable 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.

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.

Love Dr. Toledo and his staff. I've been bringing my zoo here for about 2 decades now. Dr. Toledo is empathetic and cares about his human and fur clients. He presents all available options without pressure. As long as he is in business I will keep coming. ❤️

Dr. Toledo is an amazing vet and is very knowledgeable. My kitten was prescribed a bunch of medication by another vet in which I believe irritated his intestines and therefore stopped moving. Dr. Toledo did a explorative surgery to see if there’s any blockage. There was no blockage and that his intestines were so inflamed that it stopped moving in which I think was all due to all 4 medications that the previous vet prescribed. Thankfully my kitten responded well to Dr. Toledos treatment after the surgery and is fully recovered! Dr. Toledo saved my kitten. Just note that any vet that you go to will all be expensive. Probably best to get pet insurance anyways!

I have been coming to Affordable Animal Hospital before Dr. Toledo was the owner. He has been nothing but caring and concerned for all my babies. He even slept at the hospital with my first baby when she had knee surgery. 😊 I moved from Anaheim and I still come back and use him as my vet! When my babies needed an expert in cancer, he sent me to an awesome specialist. I would recommend Dr. Toledo to everyone! Wouldn’t go anywhere else. ❤️❤️

We found Dr Toledo through a google search; and we would refer him to anyone. We bring both our senior dogs here; and the entire staff is amazing. Dr Toledo takes time to answer all our questions; never is he in a hurry. The office staff even follows up and checks on our dogs. Great recommendation!

I took my cat to this vet a few times just because I didn't have time to find a better one. They are expensive and not care much about their customers. The receptionists were never patient with me when I called to schedule appt. And all they care is to make money from you. Before leaving OC, I had to get rabies cert from them to provide with apartment application, they asking for $15 for each copy!! I really didn't have any good experience with them.
