How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Moonlight Veterinary 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

My wife and I took our handsome little Jack to Tell Tale Moonlight Veterinary Center and WOW. Just wow. We were blown away at the kindness of everyone there from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. It just makes a huge difference when you are stressing out about your babies and you can see the team doing everything in their power to bring them back to full health. They thoroughly explained everything to us so that we weren’t left in the dark and the whole process was just so smooth. Jack is alive thanks to them and he is thriving and living his best life! We are forever grateful. I cannot stress this enough: THIS IS THE PLACE YOU WANT TO CHOOSE!

A+ animal hospital with friendly hard-working staff, and very smart and knowledgeable doctors. My cat Millie’s life was saved thanks to the doctors here. The waiting room is very clean with water, tv, tea and coffee, and they have an outdoor area if you want some air. If I had another emergency this is the place I’d bring my cat back to. Thank you moonlight staff and doctors for making me feel at ease and helping little Millie.

My new favorite local veterinarian in Encinitas (and I have tried various). They took the time to really understand my pups issues, they followed up with me to make sure she was recovering, and everyone there is smart, friendly and part of a team where my pet was at the center. In particular Dr. Karen was amazing. My dogs case is complicated and she really took the time to think through possible root causes. My dog actually wanted to go back into the vet when we had follow up work and felt totally at ease with Dr. Karen. Thank you from me and Lua!!!

I am already a huge fan of Dr. Halsey and her other two veterinary practices -- Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic and Tell Tail Veterinary Urgent Care, both of which are within about 3 miles of us. When our shih tzu Zorro started limping because of a tender toe on Sunday, we decided to wait until Monday to see if he could be seen by either location because the toe wasn't terrible and we wanted to go somewhere that knew his history. But unfortunately, by Monday morning, his toe was red and angry so he had to be seen ASAP. They recommended going to Moonlight as soon as they opened at 11am so he could be seen immediately. We weren't thrilled about driving 30 miles, but wow, this facility is as good as it gets -- it even has an elevator from the parking garage to the lobby, and it has a nice outdoor courtyard where we waited for them to open. Sarai was expecting us and welcomed us in, greeting us with kindness and care as she checked us in to the spacious and bright lobby. Then vet tech Juliette took us into a sparkling clean exam room with lots of natural light. She took the time to understand what was going on with Zorro, and had clearly familiarized herself with his history before she saw us. Then we met Dr. Soares -- I mean we ADORE Dr. Halsey but Dr. Soares is very close behind Dr. Halsey in our hearts now. She is thorough, understanding, compassionate, smart, personable, and above all, an excellent communicator. Dr. Soares and her whole team took care good care of our boy during his time there -- her treatment paid off almost immediately as he wasn't limping when we left. And two days later, his bright red toe looked almost as good as new. We are THRILLED to have Moonlight as an option for urgent care. We wouldn't hesitate driving this distance again. And even more exciting, they're now expanding their services with specialist care. I really can't say enough about them, as my wordy review will attest. Thank you, Moonlight Team!!!!

Took my dog here after she hurt her leg. They got me right in and everyone was so nice. My dog seemed surprisingly happy to be at the vet and they were so good with her! Their facility is so nice and they offer so much services in house which makes the process much faster. Would definitely recommend!
