How to Save Money at Mission Veterinary Clinic and Animal Emergency Hospital

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.

I took my cat to this emergency vet after being unsatisfied with the (lack of) service from another clinic in Northridge. My cat's health was deteriorating weeks after a surgery and I no longer trusted the vet who had initially treated him, so I researched other vets in my area. I found Mission Vet Clinic and saw that they closed late, so I immediately took my cat Figaro here. Dr. Ani Sefildzhian and Jose Morales went above and beyond with their customer service and they genuinely cared about helping my cat heal. Despite treating many animals that night, Dr. Ani still took the time to thoroughly explain each treatment, answered all my questions, and even emailed me copies of my cat's x-rays, blood test results, and visit notes-- things the first vet never bothered to do. Each staff member I interacted with was friendly, professional, and helpful, from the front desk receptionists to the assistants and vets. I wish I had taken my cat here for treatment from the start. We did not have to wait long after signing in at the lobby, but keep in mind that this is an emergency animal hospital, so severe cases receive priority. I can't say enough about how happy and relieved I am to have found this clinic, and so grateful for Dr. Ani and Jose! I know I can count on them for anything my pets may need in the future. Thank you again! -Giannina and Figaro

Seeing how this is an emergency veterinarian, I don't understand why the receptionist told me not to bother coming in because there wasn't any time to see my pet. I decided to take a risk and walk in to see if there might be a chance to take a look at my puppy. Two receptionists gave me attitude, even whispered about me amongst themselves. And when I did walk in, the receptionist told me "I thought I told you not to come in because we weren't going to see your dog'" HOW RUDE! I am a longtime customer of this vet and if they can't appreciate my business I will gladly take my pets elsewhere. I have made them lots of $$ over the past year & I am very disappointed in them. They need NEW/PROFESSIONAL employees. I simply DO NOT RECOMMEND. I promise you will find a much better Vet than here. They will always respond to defend their name or they will try to get the review taken down. Typical. Don’t believe them.

Came in on Weds May 24th around 4:30 pm and the moment I walked in the staff was attentive and had a clean lobby. The tech Jeanette was very polite and instructed clear details with care plans and prices. They were able to take care of my dogs issues within 30 minutes, Dr.Ben and Dr.Ani we’re both attending my pet as well and felt like the two were very professional and caring doctors that eased my stressful situation. Thank you to Jeanette and Ben! My baby kilo is now at home safe❤️

Be aware of this place! READ REVIEWS! Go to SOUTHPAWS VET on Ventura Boulevard ! They are human and they care about your baby and the prices are a joke!! Not like this place! You can book online and the always will be happy for walk in!! You gonna wait at least 10 minutes to see the vet! The staff is so friendly and they never will push treatments for money! We visited there 3 times already and the bills are no more than 150$ Include medications wipes creams and visiting and bunch of treats and present for my baby! In mission vet clinic I need to say thank god if I get a bill of minimum 500$!!
