How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Newport Harbor Animal Hospital

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

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I can’t say thank you enough to Dr. Akashi and Markus for their help today. My dog hasn’t been acting himself lately, and they both were so kind and more than willing to listen to me go through everything that has been going on and troubleshoot different possibilities and solutions. They were so patient and really made sure to explain things well to me and made both me and my dog feel at ease. I truly appreciated all of their time spent listening and all of their concern and love they showed my dog. I’m glad I’ve found a vet that I can trust who really cares about my best friend, I would highly recommend this vet office to anyone.

I am SO GLAD I stumbled across this place in a panic. My senior pug wasn’t doing well and my regular drs office couldn’t see him for several weeks. I was frantically calling to see if they could get me in this week and they got me in the same day. The staff is so friendly and the team was so helpful answered all of my questions and made me feel so much better. I am definitely moving all of my dogs over and this will now be my primary vet.

Please be careful when taking your pets to this business. I've been going to this hospital for several years (2005) but there is something seriously wrong with entire staff and select veterinarians now. They tried to bully me with extravagant upcharges, upwards of $2K total for simple orthopedic treatment, shame me when I couldn't afford services and refused services my dog did not need (bloodwork for an orthopedic problem?), and proceeded to keep me waiting for a long time to pick up my dog, when they knew I was scheduled for surgery myself early the next morning and in extreme pain. A week later and more issues with shaming, I terminated my relationship with them and asked for all of my dogs records so I can take them to another vet, who confirmed their unethical business practices. I learned the next day they blocked my number when I tried to call back to cancel an existing appointment. Very unprofessional. I'll pray the staff and vets get the necessary customer service and sensitivity training they desperately need. 🙏

I have too many details to share here, so I’ll just say I’m so happy I found NHAH. I was referred by an ER Vet to Dr Wade. I’ve found they hire the cream of the crop for Vets, front office and technicians. My wonderful loving rescued cat would have been put down if not for them. The big difference, besides skill, is they care so much and treat every patient as if it’s their own loved one. I can’t say enough good about this place.

I really appreciate Dr Sebzda. She’s the best doctor I ever had, professional, patient. She gave us a lot of advise about TCI for our Corgi by email and text. She suggest us to stop trying and remind us of the risks involved instead of push us continue doing TCI. Her team deserved an extra consulting fee.
