How to Save Money at Cayucos Pharmacies
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.

If you are looking for Old School customer service….. I strongly encourage you to fill your prescriptions at Cayucos Pharmacy. There is always a kind helpful voice when I call with issues and an automated system for convenience too. Plus they are very timely making compounds and shipping. Yesterday I learned that I neglected to update Cayucos Pharmacy with my new mailing address. I felt transported by time machine to 1970 when Angela knocked on my door, in AG….hand delivering my box of prescriptions!!! Because of Angela’s extra efforts, I did not have to go at night without my medication. This is service you just don’t find in 2023.

I needed a gift during the time when all the stores were closed due to the virus, and Jennifer brought out a selection of gifts for me, a pair of gloves so I could open them and look at each one, then she went inside and rang up my purchase and gift-wrapped it beautifully. When she brought the gift back to me, she gave me a new very comfortable mask as well. I really appreciate the great customer service during a stressful time. UPDATE 8/15/2023: The past three times I've had prescriptions filled here were frustrating experiences. They have taken days longer than I was told, and then yesterday I opened a new prescription to find two different colored capsules mixed together in the bottle. Of course I had to return to the pharmacy where I received a brief explanation and they removed half of the capsules. Now I have to make another trip to pick up the corrected prescription. But more importantly, what might have happened if this prescription had been taken incorrectely because of the pharmacy's mistake with the capsule colors? Human error aside, I received not one word of apology for their mistake which could have had disastrous results.

I got my HRT meds there for the first time. The lady at the register was very pleasant and the pharmacist was also very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The store is small and loaded with touristy fluffy trinkets, which i found a little offputting.

I'm super impressed with Cayucos Pharmacy. Thank you for your personalized service. My medications were sent someplace else, as UPS messed up big time. I was had a 1 day supply left. The friendly staff promised over-night delivery. I was so surprised when the doorbell rang, and there was Hannah with my prescription. I live in Santa Maria, so it was a major drive to deliver this. Thank you so much for your dedication & quality services. I don't believe CVS or any other big pharmacy has ever done that for me!!

Such a professionally run operation - you would think that it's in the big city. Nope, this pharmacy represents the pride of Cayucos so well. Friendly and fast service with an excellent selection of OTC needs and gifts for every occasion - all year long. Angela and Greg have and continue to do a great job here. I haven't had to use their delivery service yet as I so enjoy actually going to the store. Keep up the great work. I will be back!
