How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Pet 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 would proceed carefully with this clinic. It all seemed great at first. We brought two dogs in at separate times. One of them was having the area around her eye continuously swell. The doctor gave us pills and eye drops and told us it was probably just allergies. We came back about a month later when we realized that the drops were a temporary fix. He told us it was just allergies, probably something in the air, and that the area would continue to swell after the eyedrops because, again, it's just allergies. Finally, we took her to another vet. Turns out, it was actually a bacterial infection in her molars. The second was our dog of over 10 years. He was having a hard time walking and the doctor checked him and with no hesitation offered surgery. Something was off, so we ended up taking him to the other vet who was honest with us, actually took x rays, and let us know that he had bone cancer that was too far along to actually do anything. He was honest and told us that surgery would only prolong his pain. We made the difficult decision to put him down. This was our experience. Please be careful when listening to what this doctor says.

BEWARE This place is sooooooo beyond freaking sketchy! They have appointments same day which I fell for and it seems from the reviews a lot of other have too. I had semi-sick pet so I thought this would be less than VCA Emergency. IT IS NOT and they don't even have any in-house equipment to run tests and labs! The Doctor asked whats wrong and looked over my pet didn't take her temp or anything. The doctor comes back and offers a package of treatments.....and the doctor makes up a price on the spot! It's so awkward and weird. No breakdown of costs to pick and choose which treatments.The doctor supposedly gave my pet antibiotics, wellness immune pills, and a flea treatment. The flea treatment was bogus fleas remained the same, not even a decline in fleas for a day, nothing! The wellness immune pills are just repackaged pet treats in a medicine bottle with a handwritten label.....and the antibiotics did NOTHING for my pet. I got suspicious because I've never gotten pet antibiotics this color and texture for any of my animals. The bottle is handwritten on too! Not sealed from the manufacturer with a prescription printed on it. The office is not equipped for testing, X-rays, or blood work. You might as well call a TelaVet for 1/16 the price. The whole experience cost $500. Last year I took a critically ill puppy to VCA emergency and paid $100 less for the rush visit, antibiotics, bloodwork, fluids, deworming and and vaccines! When I asked this vet about the cost for another pet I have with a different set of none critical issues he said "same" So I guess $500 is the standard price to be looked at and NOT be tested or diagnosed? I hate leaving bad reviews but this place is sketchy af and bad bad vibes.

Dr. Argueta took great care of my parents beloved dog, Daisy, in her final hours. He and his staff went the extra mile to accommodate them and their pet. Also, to make them feel the closure they needed. Thank you once again Doctor. 👍🏻

I have been coming to Dr. Walter for almost 5 years now and I am extremely happy with the service he provides. I have a catahoula terrier mix and when he was about 6 months old he came down with a skin condition. I took him to several vets and they treated him for everything from an allergy to mage, but no one was able to correctly diagnose him. After 2 months of watching him suffer from hair loss, scars and oozing sores Dr. Walter was able to treat him correctly and my baby was cured in a matter of 2 weeks. Dr. Walter literally saved his life.

Dr. Argueta shows he really cares for your beloved pet's best interest but the client as well. He tells the truth and makes you feel safe. I take my geriatric dog for arthritis care and regular acupuncture sessions. My dog is back to his spunky puppy self again thank goodness! I would recommend him to anyone for a caring veterinarian that practices great medicine.
