How to Save Money at Citrus 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.

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.

Long, long time Dr. Berg association... multiple generations of dogs as well as other "critters." Very personable, professional, and thorough. Handled my 20 month old, slightly skiddish Shepherd/Border Collie mix's first-time visit with compassion and kindness. This was a wellness visit, and he checked out everything. Dr. Berg only attends patients here one day per week, but you can fund him the other days in a Santa Monica office, as well. The staff here was pleasant and very helpful, both in office and on the phone. A well maintained facility that makes you feel comfortable bringing your "fur baby" into... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Citrus Vet Clinic is so great. The employees go out of their way to make you feel heard. They are all friendly and knowledgeable. They work with you to get you the appointment you need. The Vets are amazing. So kind and really listen to you about your pets. They take the time you need with your pet. I highly recommend this Vet clinic. I just moved 100 miles away and will make the drive to keep Citrus Vet clinic for my pets.

I liked this place, more importantly my cat did to. Which was a pleasant surprise. The explanation of services was great, the services received were caring. It felt well run, it's family owned. I spoke to 4 other customers in the waiting room they all had a good opinion about the place. My neighbor highly recommended it to me. 😻😻😻😻😻 we're giving it a 5 happy cat review.

We LOVE Citrus Vet. The doctors take their time, explain and answer all questions thoroughly. I can’t rave about them enough. They get down on the ground with my dog and look at her so she doesn’t get spooked by the cold metal table. They never try to give me the most extreme treatment and offer the treatment plan and my options without pressure. I have seen Dr. James White, Dr. Angela White, and Dr. Holcomb and they are all so sweet and lovely.

Absolutely wonderful. I can’t tell you how blown away I am by everyone. Dr. Kimbralin Holcomb was so incredibly kind. Usually when I speak to vets, I end up feeling as if I’m being talked down to. But she was so down to earth, spoke to me like a normal person yet also explained all of the steps they were going to take so I understood why they were doing it. She was also so gentle with my Lottie. They didn’t bill me for anything that felt unnecessary either. Honestly it was so cheap in comparison to what I’m used to, I’m blown away. Incredibly reasonable prices. The rest of the staff was also so kind. The receptionist Ebonie was very sweet and efficient, and the Tech who helped me before the doctor, Erin, was also incredibly kind and very warm. 10/10, I am so glad I found this place.
