How to Save Money at East Los Angeles Dog and Cat 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Don’t go here I don’t know how to describe this any better but the vet will let your dog die! If you take them in on a Monday they don’t take care of the pets how they supposed to because it’s an early day for them meaning they open from 7-12pm. They are in a rush and the vet will directly assume that your doggie or cat is sick because of their age, like she did to mine. She was in such a hurry that she didn’t even do the right exams. We took her in on a Monday and right away she “assumed” that my baby was having a really bad infection maybe on her organs because of age (“my baby was almost 15years old but she was healthy”) they did blood work and she even got surprised everything was clean good so then she “Assumed again” that maybe it was here teeth because my doggy had her teeth not in the best condition because she was an older dog. She send us home with medication for ten days and to bring her back in a week which is on a Monday again. So days went by I would give her medication but didn’t notice any difference or signs of her getting better so I called back to tell them my concerned about her not getting better so they said to take her back in this is a Thursday now. I took her back in after they took us to a room the vet gave orders to take my dog in for an ultrasound she did bloodwork again comes out and tells my your dog white blood cells when up super high I had ASSUMED because of her age her organs were failing on her that’s why I only did a test for her organs. The ultrasound was showing that her uterus was swollen. So she said that her uterus was extremely swollen and full of bacteria and infection that she need to perform asap surgery on her because her uterus can burst out any minute! I panicked because at the moment she had sent her assistant to tell me all this. So we said yes anything to save her they also said they were going to fix her so the amount of money was insane 3,500 but we gave 1,500 up front with a “Discount” of the vet! I’m signing the paperwork they try to make me pay 500 extra to do cpr on her in case of she needs it while she’s on the table!. Time passed by they were updating us few phones calls of updating pass by then on the last call the vet said she was good and stable right but when she was doing surgery she noticed her uterus was completely cleaned no swelling or infection!!!!! So at the end she only removed only a fatty ball she had and that was nothing it wasn’t harmful at all oh also her nails right. 1,500 for cutting nails removing a fatty ball and fixing her. She said she had a cancer tumor but couldn’t do anything about it because she wasn’t specialist on that. This place is called a HOSPITAL OK BUT NOT A 24hrs SERVICE PLACE! My dog stood overnight after a surgery un supervised left alone without any body to keep on eye on her to see if she need it something. My dog passed away in the middle of the night alone because when the vet went got in at 7:20Am to check on her she wasn’t moving anymore. She said I believe she died in the middle of the night you can tell she didn’t want to be left alone but this is not a 24hrs service place and you don’t have to pay the remaining balance. So why do they do surgeries and let them stay overnight if no one is there to look after them!. And they still had the audacity to make us pay for her cremation and orchid.
