How to Save Money at Balboa Veterinary Medical Center

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.

We adopted a dog and brought him here for check up , followed by surgery. Our experience at this office has been phenomenal- The staff is warm and welcoming and super helpful. The Veterinarian is so kind and treated our puppy very lovingly. We had also brought our elderly cat here many years ago and had an equally good experience. The location is great, parking is ample and the wait time wasn't too long. If you need VET care for your pets this is the place to go! Highly recommend.

My precious little Teacup Maltipoo Bijou has had the best care ever since she was 8 weeks old and that was 13 years ago with many thanks to Dr. Arzumanian from the bottom of my heart for keeping her so vibrant, happy and healthy throughout the years with several conditions in the past including a Mast Cell Tumor couple of years ago and I just can't say enough about what a fantastic lifesaver he is. Many refer to him as Dr A for short and I highly recommend Balboa Veterinary Medical Center to anyone seeking the absolute best possible care for their beloved pet. Thank you Dr. A I love U 🐩

I went on full detail of this place on yelp, so definitely check it put on there. However, I will say this place literally saved my daughter puppy life! The staff have all been kind and wonderful! My daughter puppy Athena absolutely love the staff and is always excited to see them, which says allot. I will be bringing my 2 dogs next Saturday along with my bigger dog earlier of that Saturday and then in 3 weeks for second rounds of shots for Athena. Decided to switch all of my dogs here because of the amazing care compared to my last vet office.
