How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Lbc Vets Primary and Urgent Care

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

I recently took my sweet cat who turns into Mr. Hyde at the vet to LBC Vets for emergency treatment for a urinary tract infection--a vicious one. I was referred to them by his regular vet when they were too booked to see him--in fact, two people at his veterinary clinic separately told me to take him there. I'd never been in LBC Vets, and I generally am a bit wary and apprehensive when I go to a new medical caregiver. Not here. As soon as I walked in, the brightness, the kindness of the staff, the comfort and the friendliness of the other clients immediately put me at ease. The vets were patient with my cat, who'd taken on the character of a berserk demon spawn. I wound up doing medical boarding there because I was leaving for vacation and I wanted him to get care. I also didn't want my bestie, who was cat-sitting, to be stuck with giving meds and maybe getting him back to the vet and peeing in the car (the cat, not my friend). Well, the vets did fine, especially Dr. Kessler. So did the cat--after two different types of antibiotisc, he's behind me, snoring on the futon, as I keyboard. I've finally found a sweet spot for emergency care, and my bestie, who's been looking for a vet since our former vet retired, will bring his here--he was impressed, too, and it takes a lot to please him. Oh yes, they also do regular vet care.

Dr. Kessler and all the staff at lbc vets are incredible, kind, and caring. When our little cat family member Mochi became ill with heart failure suddenly the LBC vets team went above and beyond through multiple check ups and emergency visits. While we had to say goodbye to our fur son recently, the team was empathetic, didn't rush us, and allowed us to say our farewells. Can't thank the vet techs, staff, and Dr. Kessler enough for the tremendous care they provided to our family during a difficult time. Thank you LBC vets!

I recently took my cat to LBC Vets and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff was so friendly, caring, and professional. They made sure my cat felt comfortable and explained everything to me clearly. You can tell they truly love animals and go above and beyond for their patients. I left feeling confident my cat was in the best hands. Highly recommend LBC Vets to any pet owner looking for top-notch care!

The staff was welcoming and kind , the vet tech and vet were knowledgeable and took their time. There was an emergency so the visit took a little longer than expected, but the staff came in to check on us and let us know what was going on. We didn’t mind, we were just there for a check up and vaccines, we’re just happy they were so kind and kept us informed!

Love this vet! It started off with being greated by the kindest staff named Veronica who helped me and my anxious dog Bolt. She was very calm and made accommodations to help my dog feel more comfortable as he is very anxious. I was then helped by Dr. Munoz who was amazing as well. She sat there and really listened to me and all my concerns about my dog *which were a ton*. She listened and responded to every question so patiently. I couldn’t thank this vet enough for helping me and my pup! This place is definitely worth every penny to be able to help my pups! :)
