How to Save Money at La Verne 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.

Friendly, informative and professional. Staff and veterinarian's are very personable here. My cat and my dog were both seen here in the last four months. I'm so glad I chose La Verne Animal Hospital over a group corporation like Banfield. There is a big difference between the two hospital's in my opinion.

We have known Dr. Niu for several years since she was affiliated with another veterinary clinic, and was ecstatic to find out she decided to take over this animal hospital. Dr. Niu has been the perfect vet, very caring to our 3 dogs (now only 2). She is very compassionate to our fur babies, was able to diagnose and take care of symptoms, and always kept us updated on any procedures that would be necessary for our babies. She does not upsell like our other previous vet, where it felt like I was at a BMW dealership when they were recommending "needed" treatments for our babies. Dr. Niu and Dr Marzaian are the utmost professionals, with a caring staff that will take care of your fur babies' needs.

I got an older cat from the shelter (IVHS) and she had a hard scab on her neck the doctor felt the area and told me it was staples that were left in her neck from an old surgery they took them out. It cost me $15 to make The Cat feel comfortable. I appreciate this place.

Today was our first appointment with Dr Mirzaian since we wanted a second opinion about an ear hematoma. The office is wonderful, compassionate and caring staff who are truly wonderful. The ear was drained, without sedation, and I am so happy with the results. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything.
