How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Aliso Beach Animal Clinic
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I won’t take my dog anywhere else, and I am VERY PICKY. Dr Hayter, Dr George, and their entire staff is incredible. I’m talking ABOVE and BEYOND. They got my baby in right away, took care of her wounds, and she is back to being healthy and happy! Thank you!

Dr. Hayder is great. I wish he would open his own practice. The front office staff here is so unbelievably unhelpful and nasty. They were nasty to me, my sister and my Mom. The other vet who works there will not confirm any prescriptions Dr. Hayder writes and he’s on vacation for the next month so I guess my dog is just stuck with fleas.

This place is a joke. My first appointment here they had me down at the wrong time. They forgot to weigh my cat. I had her scheduled for a dental surgery for three weeks later. A few days before they call to reschedule saying the dr won’t be in. How did they not know that when they first scheduled? I reschedule for a week later. Patient drop off time is between 7:30 am and 8:30 am. I arrive at 7:35 and the building is dark and closed. Absolute joke. I fasted my cat and tortured her with a car ride for nothing. Do not bring your animal here. If they can’t get an appointment right why would I let them put her under anesthesia???

Update to my review... I cannot say enough about Dr Hayter and honestly the entire staff at Aliso Beach Animal Hospital! In June 2022 our cocker, Dutch, scratched his eye and Dr Hayter (and a visit or 2 with Dr George who is just as fantastic!) worked a little magic and with a couple of procedures, PRP and other drops the hole is now gone! (We were able to bypass the animal ophthalmologist which only had availability 3 months out!) This place is wonderful! To quote my friend I referred "Loved Dr Hayter! Super low key and spent a lot of time with us." (She had all of her pup's transferred ASAP!) The other staff members from the front desk gals (Lynda and Shay) to the Tech's and assistants in the back everyone is so kind and helpful. Dutch was never afraid when they took him back or checked his eye. We are very grateful that we found Aliso Beach Animal Clinic and HIGHLY Recommend! Dr. Hayter is FANTASTIC! We live in Laguna Beach, but first met him at a Vet Hospital in Tustin, and tracked him down to the Aliso Beach Animal Clinic- he is that GREAT! Our Cocker, Dutch, is a little anxious about the Vet and Dr. Hayter is so calming and reads animals so well that Dutch is very comfortable with him! Making the appointment, getting in and follow up with the staff here was also seamless, and they are all very positive and welcoming in person. I would also like to add that Dr Hayter is NOT one of those vets that tries to nickel and dime you on everything or upsell you on tests or products etc. SO REFRESHING! If you are looking for a Vet in the area look no more!!

I have been taking my dogs to the Aliso Beach Animal Clinic for almost 10 years now. Dr. Caroline George is so kind, compassionate, and she really takes her time to talk to you when you take your dog or cat to her. She follows up with phone calls to check on your pet after hours and on weekends. I really appreciate the excellent care that she gives to my dogs. I trust her completely, and I highly recommend Dr. George to anyone who is looking for an honest, compassionate, and knowledgeable vet. Her staff members are also very kind and caring.
