How to Save Money at Francis 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.

They took my dogs in when they needed acute care. They treated my dogs, and me with courtesy and respect. Great experience overall.

If i could put 0 stars i would, they tried charging me extra for 2nd round of vaccines for a service that wasnt even done or asked for. They scam you for your money never coming back👎🏼

My 12 year old Maincoon, Shupeli, was started drinking a LOT of h20 and was always asking for more water and more water. I was recommended Dr Choi by someone very close to me BUT they told me that his office was in Chino Hills/Riverside...and I live in Hollywood...BUT they said he was worth the drive and every mile!! And so I went...and I have to AGREE...Dr Choi is a VERY professional, fair and a GREAT Veterinarian who loves animals! Shupeli does not like ANYONE...but she was so kind to Dr Choi and let him do his exam without any drama. Dr Choi examined, diagnosed and explained her situation within 3 minutes. She has Diabetes as proof by the blood work but she is now in insulin. Thanks SO much to Dr Choi, Cory, Monica and the rest of the Francis Animal Hospital Staff! We are regular customers from now on. Keep doing the AMAZING work that you all do there!!! Les And Nicole Brandt and Shupeli, too
