How to Save Money at Animal Medical Center

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.

I wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional experience I had at Animal Medical Center in August 2023. I recently entrusted them with the care of my female cat undergoing a spaying procedure, and I was genuinely impressed by the level of service they provided. Right from the start, the staff displayed a remarkable degree of compassion and professionalism. They patiently guided me through the entire procedure, addressing all my concerns with expertise and a reassuring demeanor. I was particularly pleased by their proactive offer of pain medication for my cat's recovery. You would think that’s standard, but some people don’t want it!!! I sure did!!! It's truly reassuring to encounter a veterinary establishment that prioritizes the post-surgery comfort of their furry patients. The pricing structure at Animal Medical Center struck me as both reasonable and absolutely reflective of the high-quality care they deliver. Their commitment to providing excellent value without compromising on the standard of service is evident. The clinic's cleanliness standards were impeccable, fostering a serene and sanitary atmosphere that undoubtedly contributes to the well-being of both pets and their owners. This visit marked my first experience at Animal Medical Center, and I can confidently attest to my 100% satisfaction with every area of service. Where exceptional veterinary care can prove challenging, Animal Medical Center undeniably stands out. I wholeheartedly endorse them to anyone seeking top-notch care for their cherished pets. With their attentive staff (loved my tech Kenzie and her amazing love for my kitty), transparent communication, amazing pricing, and immaculate facilities, they have totally earned my enthusiastic 5-star rating. I extend my sincere gratitude to the entire team at Animal Medical Center for their unwavering dedication and compassion in caring for my cherished kitty, CK! Warm regards, Chrissy (& CK) Aguiar

This is the best vet clinic we have ever taken our pets to. We only ever want Dr. Ramírez and Dr. Basra to work with our pets from now on. Our most recent visit was for our doggy who injured her leg and Dr. Ramírez took us step by step what we should expect with her surgery and recovery. They genuinely care for you and your pets needs, they are very affordable, and they explain medical diagnosis’ very thoroughly. All of the staff are very kind, understanding and helpful. Highly recommend them!

First, I have to say that it is unfortunate to see OLD negative reviews because this is all new staff. I followed Dr. Ramirez from his previous clinic. I drive over an hour to this clinic because this Dr actually knows what he’s doing when it comes to bulldogs! My dog struggled with various issues for 2 full years seeing countless vets that never seemed to help. We’ve been seeing Dr. Ramirez over a year now and my dog has such a better quality of life. 5 stars all the way!

If I could, I would give 1MILLION STARS!!!!!!! I actually have followed Dr. Ramirez from my old vet at American Pet Clinic Dr.R and Dr. B are the best in Modesto!!! Hands Down!!! And the staff is amazing!!! So kind and they take the time to get your full history on your pet and ensure u understand everything before proceeding further. They are patient, calm and relaxed!!! I have 2 elderly dogs, and they are not easy ones to win over. First time I have ever seen my female dog, not growl, not snap, and not bark at a vet! She allowed him to do the exam, check teeth, heart and ears with no problems She even let him pet her and ended up laying down on the exam table completely relaxed!!! She is usually VERY standoffish with anyone other than me! So this is so surprising to me! That is why they are the best!!! They take the time to look at the animal as a pet, not a dollar sign!!! They truly want what is best for your pet!!! They should be #1 vet in Modesto!!! If you haven't been happy with your vet, make an appt today!!! Great pricing and your pet is always #1 THANK YOU DR B, DR.R, and all the amazing Techs!

I found this office through Google reviews and spoke to Daniela. My vet isn’t open on weekends anymore and it’s been a hardship for me to get our dog any kind of treatment due to my work schedule. Daniela was professional, kind, and answered all my questions regarding their services and hours. I was happy to hear they had an opening for me for the day I needed. I will update my review once we are seen. Hoping my dog and I found are new vet home. I’ve already recommended them to another family member.
