How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Economico 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

Kimberly, the Vet Assistant is so authentic & friendly! She provided such a pleasant experience for me as this was my first time taking a baby kitten to get checked after finding this poor abandoned kitty near my apartment building. Kimberly listened to my concerns and gave me the information I needed. She even took her time to clearly explain how to administer the medications to my baby kitten on 6-22-23. The staff here, overall are super nice and passionate about the work they do. Thank you so much Economico Animal Hospital! I'm blessed that your business is just walking distance away from my home. I don't know what I would do without you all!

Great staff and welcoming environment. Really came through during a time of hardship and emergency. We felt understood and humanized. It felt like we went to a community rather than a business. That's something unique that brings you back. I don't care if it's a drive, that alone is what will bring me back. Every. Time. Thank you to all the wonderful staff. You are appreciated and in our prayers.

I rescued an abused dog from the Downey shelter that had a large, bleeding ulcerated tumor on her belly. I took her to EAH to have the tumor looked at after a visit to another animal hospital that was way too expensive for us. I met Dr. Yoon and I am beyond impressed with his patience and ability. We feel so lucky and grateful for EAH. Dr. Yoon worked tirelessly to perforn a radical mastectomy on the dog. It has been two days and she is making a full recovery. I am beyond happy with EAH and I feel that writing this review is the least I can do. My advice to patients is to get to EAH just before 8am or 2pm to get your pet in the quickest - it is a walk-in facility. You will be in very capable hands. God bless everyone at EAH!

DO NOT GO HERE. They try to steal your money every visit by trying to charge you for an exam when something is wrong with your pet even though your pet should get an exam on the first visit and they tell you you should be covered for a year. I have never had this issue with other veterinarians. I take my dog for allergies and get his cytapoint almost every 3 months and every single time that i have took him they have tried to sneak an exam/ consultation fee on my breakdown of how much i am paying. Today i got out of there fed up when i took him once again for his cytapoint injection. He had a hot spot and they said i had to pay a 75$ exam fee for the doctor to see my pet because of the hot spot. I have payed this 75$ fee before with the doctor’s “recommendations” and have basically thrown my money to the trash with no resolution for his hotspot problem. I have been dealing with his allergies and hot spots problems for over 3 years and i know how to clean the wound and i have an ointment that i payed over 1000$ to see what he was allergic too. And they are still going to proceed to tell me i need to pay the doctor a 75$ fee to see my pet and give him the cytapoint only for the doctor to tell me its looking good and healing. DONT GO HERE. They recommend something one day of the month you go back the same day next month and recommend something else for you pet. NOT TAKING MY PET HERE AGAIN.

They are very pricey, BUT the service was excellent‼️ I took my dog Theo there for a foot injury. I could not afford the plan for x-rays, bloodwork, and possible surgery, but they did give us an ointment to help me care for him at home. I loved the personal care experience that they gave the pet and the owner. I would go back if needed. I am glad that my dogs foot is healing well. It looks like he didn't need surgery after all. I wish that the price of over $700 would have been on hold until they actually examined and gave him an xray. Then they would have seen what I saw.
