How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cal West Pet 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.

We'd been looking for a clinic to take us in to save our rescue kitten. After desperately calling and visiting other clinics, we ended up going to the Cal West Pet Hospital. They were the ONLY people who showed interest in our poor kitten, and they took mercy on us. Unfortunately, our kitten had to go, but we're thankful to Dr. Jurberg and Dr. Palm for being honest and for helping us the best they could. We will definitely come back to visit them. Thank you Doctors and thank you to your wonderful staff.

First time taking my new pup in. The office was clean and the front staff were organized. The vet and assistants were knowledgeable and caring. Everything you could want from a vet.

I’ve been coming here since I adopted my doggie from the shelter. Due to COVID they don’t allow anyone in their waiting room so you call and tell them and they come get your pet. The vet then calls you with a diagnosis. Always had a good experience but this time my pet needed tests and he accidentally peed himself and they brought him to me wet. Would have been nice if they would have wiped him but they didn’t so I had to wash my car covers and jacket. Just would have been cleaner for them to wipe with a towel or paper towels, something. Especially if you spend almost a grand in the visit. Jeez.

We rescued a pup from SPCA Vacaville and we went back a couple of weeks later for vaccinations and met the vet Kelly Palm. She was nice and very helpful. Well guess what... She is the vet at Cal West! She personally came out and apologized since our appointment was running late. Again very nice and helpful. She even remembered us from SPCA! The experience here is a little different. Since they are small (and maybe because of Covid) they come out to your car after you call them and check in, and then take your pet inside while you wait . I trust Kelly with my pup knowing he is in good hands.

I love the environment here! So caring. Not like other vets. I can't tell there is a culture of care that I have yet to experience elsewhere. They see ducks and tortoises
