How to Save Money at Bonsall Pet 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’ve had a great experience so far with bonsall pet hospital! From scheduling to the exam and treatment, they have been professional, thorough, kind and empathetic. My cat (Loki), has some itchy skin and we have a good plan to clear up his dermatitis. I am bringing my puppy (Domino) back in a few weeks for a few vaccines/nutrition advice. I’ll update my review after but I anticipate another good visit!

I took my cat here to establish care and see about how to manage her anxiety. The staff was so kind and gentle with her, and got us on a stress-urinary health specific diet. They also recommend a big cat tree, more litter boxes, and some more cozy places to hide. I did all of this and she is doing much better. Like, I seriously wanna know what's in the wet food we get because she'll eat it and act super chill after. 🤣 I am so happy with the quality of service and look forward to going back for a checkup (even though my kitty may not). My kitty's name is Annabelle.❤️🖤💕

Wonderful staff, they always do their best to get us In quickly. We usually go to their sister hospital- Neighborhood Vet Hospital- but sometimes when they’re too busy, Bonsall fits us in. They’re very caring and professional people. Thanks for always helping our dogs!

This Dr. was amazing when we had to put our sweet Sandy down. He explained everything so we we're okay. Very respectful. Always concerned about what Sandy and I went thru.

Incompetence or neglect I don't know which but either way my cat is dead because of this office. I brought my cat in on Friday morning. They gave him the wrong diagnosis and sent him home to worsen over the weekend. The Veterinarian stated she checked his mouth twice; However if she had he would probably still be alive. Instead because he was crying in their office they said he'd be more comfortable at home and convinced me against my better judgment to pick him up. On Monday when he was brought back they said he was beyond their abilities and I took him to their partners office in Oceanside, where he was rushed to emergency surgery and did not survive the night. Multiple Veterinarians and Vets technicians told me after that the first thing to check for when a cat is vomiting is their mouth. When her boss asked her if she checked she said she did twice!!! Either she needs glasses or she was too lazy. Either way he's gone due to her incompetence. As thankful as I was to have a Veterinarian so close, I'll never be back and I'd highly recommend others to stay clear.
