How to Save Money at Windan' Sea Veterinary Clinic
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.
Reviews from Google
If your pet is great with chaotic vet environments, then they will do fine here, but if you have a shy or anxious pet, look elsewhere. My dog left traumatized and skiddish after our last visit due to mishandling. She is admittedly a shy dog but has done well with previous visits. This time, with a new vet and vet tech, she was so "aggressive" they couldn't give her the vaccinations without a muzzle that they couldn't wrangle on her (never how a muzzle should ever be introduced) and finally sent me home with sedatives to give her for her next visit. Their response was one of, "It happens with a lot of dogs," just medicate her and bring her back. No talk of working on behavior change, desensitization, or building trust...

I love Windan’ Sea Vet! Dr. Raichel and Dr. Abrams really care about the pets and it shows, the time they spend with the pets and how thorough they are makes me feel comfortable knowing they’re being well cared for at the vet. The staff is friendly and helpful! If you have a pet in the PB/Bird Rock/ La Jolla area i would highly recommend bringing them to Windan’Sea!

My initial encounter with this facility was so POSITIVE. The whole team were so wonderful with my dog and communicated beautifully, especially Dr. Abrams! However, since he left the communication has been inconsistent and poor at best. The inconsistencies could have led issues with the medications my dog is receiving for pain. They demonstrated no responsibility and no desire to improve.

My husband and I just moved to the area and hadn’t established new vet care yet. Our pup got an eye infection and we ended up needing to find somewhere quick to see him, on a holiday weekend. I called about 20 places and Windan Sea Vet was the only place who was willing to squeeze us in! Not only did they go above and beyond to see my pup but they were also so kind, caring, and understanding with my high anxiety dog! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for quality vet care!

I recently started taking our new puppy to Windan’ Sea Veterinarian Clinic! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and gentle with our little pup! Prices are reasonable and it doesn’t feel like they try to push unnecessary tests each visit. Great feeling and experience with this office so far. Thanks!
