How to Save Money at Azusa 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.

I witnessed a man abuse his dog after he left Azusa Animal Hospital located at 457 E Arrow HWY in Azusa. The small brown dog was a wearing a recovery cone collar and could not get into the vehicle without assistance. The man became frustrated and picked the dog up by its leash, leaving the dog dangling in the air, crying and yelling horrendously for a good 4-5 seconds. The dog was choking, crying and flopping everywhere in mid air. He then proceeded to throw the dog forcefully into his hatch-back followed by screaming and profanity. I Immediately went into the animal hospital and asked if they saw what happened, explained what I saw, and asked if they could contact someone to file a complaint. When I arrived home, I contacted LA County Department of Animal Care & Control to see if they can assist but they needed the mans information and home address . So I then contacted Azusa Animal Hospital again with the Animal Care & Control number, so they could call and give them the man’s information in order for a wellness check to be done on the pet. They informed me that the man has been going through a lot and that “I don’t don’t know what people go through”. I explained that regardless of someone’s emotional or physical pain animal abuse is NEVER ok and there is No excuse! She disagreed and asked if I was even a client? I said no and she said she would “make a note in his file”.. No compassion from the receptionist at all. How can someone be ok with this. I was heart broken and I do not trust this place. If they don’t care about animal abuse would you trust them with your pet?

This facility failed to help an innocent pup who was being abused after leaving the hospital by its frustrated owner. Shame on you Azusa Animal Hospital shame on the receptionist who answered the phone and said "the man was going through a lot" so I guess it's ok to abuse an innocent animal that can't speak or fend for themselves. She shouldn't be working there with sweet vulnerable angels who depend on us to take care of them. Don't give this place your business, take your babies to another pet clinic!
