How to Save Money at Hesperia Animal 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.

Everyone was really nice and kind, excellent service. The place looked like it was really cleaned when they opened, but dog owners let their dogs pee in there anywhere on the floor or the desk wall, fine they have no control on their instincts, but i see no reason on why they cant clean their own dogs pee. If you are taking your dog anywhere you should always bring napkins, wipes and a bag. *staff stays busy behind the desk checking in and helping other people*, i went at 9:30am, left, and came back at 2pm and it was clean again so that made me feel good to keep bringing my puppy at this location.

They took my dog in when my regular one couldn’t take him after explaining that my dog was sick. They knew exactly what to do and what to test for without wasting any time. Dr Ahmed was very sincere and kind and explained everything to me so I understood. Their clinic was a tiny bit dirty , on the floors and lower walls but other than that they fixed my baby and he is fine now when it could have progressed so much worse if they hadn’t taken him in so quickly ❤️

This doctor is out of his mind. I brought my elderly dog for what I presume to be an Upper Respiratory Infection. I thought the office visit was a great price at $25 but I was taken aback when the vet techs showed me how much the bill would be had I gone further with the visit. After doing vitals, which he wasn’t able to do properly for the rectal temperature, I started to lose my trust in this doctor. At a whopping $745, a total accounting for labs, bloodwork, diagnostics, and medication (how do you know what medications she needs?). Besides that, the vet techs were understanding of my decision to not go any further the visit. I’ll be going to East Valleg Emergency Pet Clinic and they won’t be charging me an arm and a leg like this quack.

The experience I didn't care for was the vet verbally telling me one price for the medication and then writing down another price. I told him I was fine with the $40 for the medication, it was $80. Had I known, I wouldn't have paid $80 for it. I could have easily spent half the amount I paid elsewhere. He also tried to give my puppy an unnecessary shot which wasn't needed for her Giardia. Then Later attempted to charge me $40 for 3 packets of Panacur which was outrageous because I paid $40 for 7 packets and when I pointed it out changed it to $30. I could have gotten the same amount at the feed store for $21 same ingredients and everything. I also got charged an examination fee and he didn't even examine her at all.

I was told it was maditory to have a physical when I only needed to drop off a fecal test. I've never had to have a physical exam done prior, it was a waste of time as I explained it was for board and training not any concerns I had. This was 'new' but honestly a waste of money considering the vet was confused as to why she needed it to have it done and told him the front told me I needed to. And then barely even examined her, only felt on her. The only good thing is I'm getting my money back through my pet insurance.
