How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Companion Animal Wellness Center
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

I am a veterinarian with my own dog receiving physical therapy at the wellness center. It says something that my Rottie who doesn't necessarily like all new people loves to go to PT. I have seen a difference in how he is doing with his hind limb lameness as we are trying to build up more flexibility and muscle mass. He still doesn't love the water treadmill but trusts Shelby and does a great job in it. Glad we were referred here.

Dr Lockwood has taken care of all of my pets since she came to North County. I will follow her anywhere. This facility is wonderful. Absolutely the best I have been to. The staff obviously loves what they do and their patients. Thank you!

The doctors and staff are fantastic. They make a great effort to remember and get to know your pet. I don’t live close to their location but the drive is worth it knowing the excellent care my pet gets here.

After taking my service dog here Bandit, I was quoted for his allergy shampoo at his last appointment $7 and they didn't have any of his allergy shampoo available, but told me they would call when they got it in. Living far away and stuck in traffic for a hour minimumly I got there today 4th October 2024, when I went to pick up this shampoo it rang up at $89. The woman at the register told me that she must have told me the price of the smaller shampoo bottle of $57, but I know I was quoted $7 and not $57. Driving down there wasting my gas I asked for a discount considering there is a lot higher price of $89 for the allergy shampoo than I waa quoted! I hate being lied to about the price! The woman in charge refused to even give me a discount for the wrong price I was quoted of $7! Which I found extremely unreasonable! She said had they given me a written quote that she could have changed the price, but since it waa verbally communicated she refused do do anything about it! No business should ever be so inconsiderate and wrong by telling any customer the wrong price for a product or service! So I suggest if you ever get anything from this place to get it in writing because they refuse to believe the truth! If there was a lower start I could give I would give a zero! This is a waste of my time, gas, wear and tear on my car for this injustice! When I think I found a decent veterinarian hospital they have extremely disappointed me! I will not be recommending this Companion Animal Wellness Center Carlsbad to anyone after this! What a waste of money getting there and back home. Being a disabled US Arrmy veteran who was injured in the line of duty it is extremely difficult for me to drive this far with my health issues and injuries! Then being told this lie and they did nothing to try to resolve the issue, by at least giving me a discount on the allergy shampoo. I left empty handed! Definitely I don't recommend them!

We love Dr Bausone! He is the best! He was great with my last aggressive German shepherd. He conversed with us and kept eye contact with us while slowly sitting down so my dog could sniff him and they quickly became friends. My current social butterfly German Shepherd absolutely adores him! Highly recommend.
