How to Save Money at TrueCare for Pets

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.

Getting 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.

Our 1 year old unfortunately contracted Parvo and was very sick. I had taken her to 2 other emergency vets prior to True Care who did not perform a Parvo test and thought the vomiting was due Gastritis from swallowing a toy which is what I also believed. Fortunately, this clinic would not see her until they performed a Parvo test in which she was positive for. To make matters more stressful, this happened over Christmas when all our local clinics were closed. I was hesitant to leave her here at 1st because of some of the reviews I read but we had a very positive experience with the emergency staff and critical care team. The clinic as a whole was responsive, attentive and very organized with communication before, during and after discharge. They worked with us financially and did everything they could to help her fight. I'm so grateful that they had around the clock care and had advanced Imaging such as ultrasound and Parvo Monocolonial Antibodies available. Our baby is healthy and well since discharge. We are so grateful for the team who helped her fight and recover from Parvo 🙏

Our golden retriever Callie was treated in the emergency department for pancreatitis and ammonia. Doctor and staff there were wonderful, compassionate and treated Her with kindness. We appreciate everything they did to help our Callie. Unfortunately she didn’t make it, but we can’t say enough good things about all the staff at the hospital.

Dr Soto and her amazing staff are angels. They were amazing from start to finish. I was worried about Cocos surgery and they reassured me they would do everything they could. Surgery was a success! So grateful

The staff were professional and very empathetic. Our baby Star got attacked by 5 baby raccoons 🦝 as soon as we walked in the hospital “True Care for Pets” they took her in… I felt heard and valued. I recommend this place for your fur babies.

My sweet T had spent 4 days in the ICU in Boston for suspected IBD or small cell lymphoma. We had to move to LA and True Care got me in pretty quickly to see a specialist. Dr. Chaplow is truly a saint. Instead of going the invasive route to have concrete evidence of what she had, we started treating her immediately and went from there. My little girl has made quite the turn around and Dr. Chaplow has been nothing but comforting, informative and understanding of all of my anxieties with T’s health. After having just lost my 20 year old girl, I had a lot of anxiety with my other senior girl getting sick.
