How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Arch Beach Veterinary 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.

Our girl Sadie had been given two vaccines (rabies and DHPP) by a mobile vet on Thursday. That evening Sadie was shaking, wouldn't eat or drink and by the next day was practically lifeless - running a fever of 103.2. After calling 13 different vets to see if they had an appointment on Friday afternoon, Arch Beach Veterinary Clinic office confirmed they did. I could not be more thrilled that we were not only able to get Sadie treated for her reaction, but that we now have Dr. Gordon as our vet. Everyone in the office is personable, friendly, and you can tell they enjoy being around the fur babies. I have to say this is the first vet that Sadie wasn't pulling me towards the day which I believe says a lot. I also appreciate that Dr. Gordon is alternative and believes in thinking outside the box when it comes to caring for the fur babies.

Dr. Gordon is a fantastic vet. He is caring and patient with questions and very knowledgable. I really appreciate the guidance he gave on when I should fix my female dog and backed it up by research specific for her breed. Every time I have seen him I know he will take the time to answer all of my questions and make sure my dog is healthy.

This vet is the one. I have never been to a vet that is caring and doesn’t push every procedure possible. The whole staff is warm and welcoming. We started acupuncture for my pup and my dog is already more comfortable. Anyone who needs a warm welcoming office for your fur babies this is it.

We were in Laguna Beach for a year and our neighbors immediately recommended Arch Beach for our 14 and 10 yr olds Marley and Edie. General care was great, never had to wait long, staff were always friendly and cheerful. After having an unsuccessful cryofreeze removal procedure in LA, Marley had an eye growth removed here and the surgery was successful. Highly recommend Dr. Gordon and his team!

Dr Gordon and his staff are wonderful. He was very responsive to my emails before I even walked through the door & followed up after our first appmt. His approach is very refreshing - he welcomed all my questions & his expertise/insight helped me feel comfortable about making decisions about which meds/shots to give my dog. (I love that he offers titer tests). It is clear he wants people to feel comfortable with the decision they make for their pets health, and because of this I felt empowered, rather than pressured (a RARE quality in a vet). The fact he is so responsive makes me feel like I can reach out if I have any emergencies or questions. Worth the drive down from LA! So happy to have found Dr Gordon!!
