How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Urgent Care Animal Hospital

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.

Really wonderful vet's office with super caring staff. Prices are reasonable, vets are great at working with you to figure out the best course of treatment for your needs, and the wait times are actually super reasonable. Always important to note that this is an Urgent Care vet, so even if you make an appointment, pets are going to be treated in order of medical priority. But we've always been able to make an appointment for quite soon, and when we've been there, we've really never waited for more than an hour to see someone as a walk in. We got the news this week unfortunately that our dog is going to go on palliative care. Never an easy thing to discover for you or your vet, but the staff here was so supportive and caring through the whole diagnosis process and beyond. Even in this devastatingmoment, I can confidently say that our pup has been in very good hands with this vet.

Took my dog who was having a heat stroke and the medical tech immediately came to my car to pick him up and start working on Buddy. He was in critical condition and they were able to save my boy. I was parked right in front an ran in there asking for help. He stood in the hospital for 2 days. Took him for a follow up the following week and he was back to normal health. In case you're asking, no I didn't leave him in the car. We went for a walk in a shady area in Griffith Park. I myself don't do well in the heat so I'm careful with exposure and we were walking not running... At the vet hospital I was told maybe because he's still young a year and a half. IDk just greatful they saved his life. They immediately started working on him. Put him on IV transfusion of plasma blood work, xrays the works. They also kept me informed while he was in the hospital with regular phone calls. They saved my Buddy boy. ;). He was popular there, very much liked 👍 😄

I took my cat, Will, here after I noticed he looked like he was in pain. Turns out he ate an entire felt string off a cat toy. The vets and vet techs at this place saved his life. Will wouldn’t be here without them and I am so grateful. He had to get intensive surgery and we almost lost him but this place did an amazing job. Will had made a complete recovery and it back with his twin brother playing and eating and enjoying his life. Thank you so much to the talented team here!!

This clinic is outrageously expensive. They charged me nearly $700 to euthanize my cat, which is three times the amount other local veterinarians charge and even higher than some at-home services. I don’t know if they triple the standard charge for all of their services or just when someone is grieving and trying to help their suffering animal, but either way, it’s absolutely horrible to take advantage of grieving people. Eagle Rock has a lot of choices for veterinary services, so I’d advise you to look elsewhere.

My 16-year-old cat was acting strangely, not eating food or drinking water. We could no longer wait for our regular vet, so we went to UCAH on a Sunday evening. We received terrible news that she was severely septic and had masses in her lungs. She had to be immediately hospitalized and stayed for 2 nights. The care that Dr. Vikas Jaglan and all the vet techs (shout out Genesis) gave her is what saved her. They have been checking in with us regularly, with the doctor even calling us with updates and answering our questions on his vacation. Dr. Priyanka Hawkins even saw us for additional care when we were concerned about her after being discharged. Everyone has been straightforward yet compassionate and only charged for necessary procedures and medications. Regardless of our cat's outlook, they gave us more time with her, and that means everything to us.
