How to Save Money at North Figueroa 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.

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.

This place is great, a salvation for folks who might have have to resources to get their pets cared for at other facilities. You have to show up early, (before 7am, Tuesday-Saturday,) to get on the sign-up list. They only serve the first 50 people that sign up each day. Be prepared to wait up to 5 hours. But Dr. Joey his staff are doing great work, and are a true asset to this community. I am currently underemployed, and when I took my cat to the vet, they quoted more than $1500 to have a growth removed. I simply could not afford that. I heard about NFAH from a friend, and they were able to perform the surgery (with biopsy and removal of stitches weeks later) for about half as much. I am grateful that this place and these people are here, working hard with compassion, week after week and year after year. Thank you Dr. Joey and all the folks at NFAH!

Dr. Joey is the best. He found out our baby has a enlarged heart and with medication has given us more time with Kya our baby. He cares and works hard to help all of the fur babies.

I want to take a moment to thank Dr. Vasquez and the team for the care and compassion they gave to my cat during her spay surgery. Unfortunately, we lost her due to a severe and undetected diaphragmatic hernia, but I am truly grateful for the time and effort Dr. put in to try and save her. He not only performed the surgery but stayed with her through the night, doing everything he could—including resuscitation and emergency support—trying to give her a chance. His dedication and heart did not go unnoticed. Even in the hardest moments, I could feel that he truly cared. Losing her has been incredibly painful, but I have peace knowing she was in good hands and surrounded by people who tried their best. Thank you, Dr, Vasquez for treating her with compassion, and for your honesty and care. It means the world to me. Sincerely, Susana garcia

Got my cat spayed here. 10/10. The incision is so tiny and neat. Couldn’t say enough good things about the staff and whole process. Thank you guys so much

Really kind people. During the pandemic they operate under different hours so you’ll have to call. We got there around 7:30 am to put our name on the list as they’re only seeing the first 50 patients at this time. They’ve put tents and chairs out in the parking lot for all those waiting, which is really nice since you could be waiting awhile. Happy this place exists for the community.
