How to Save Money at California Pet 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.

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.

This was our first time visiting California pet hospital. Our French bull dog Lola needed to have a C-Section and they where able to accommodate us. They are very caring and attentive. Dr. Silver is amazing answered all our questions and was available to see us even though we where new to their practice. They helped deliver 8 beautiful and healthy French bull dog puppies. Cindy Martin is a beautiful person and has helped us with all our first parent questions. When we picked up our new puppies and mama she let us know to reach out to her if we had any questions. I took her up on it and she went above and beyond. I will be forever grateful to everyone at California pet hospital. They are caring , professional and so kind. The entire Staff is amazing and I am so happy to have found them. They also had a bottle or Martinelli's apple cider and beautiful card for us. I cried it was such a kind gesture and so thoughtful. They all shared our excitement and happiness and was a genuinely beautiful experience. Thank you again to all of the staff. You guys rock!

Dr. Silver is an excellent veterinarian providing accurate diagnoses and efficacious treatment of the animals under her care. Of equal importance is that she does not recommend procedures or prescribe medications unless they are necessary.

Dr Silver is such a patient and kind doctor. You can tell all the staff are passionate about animals and they only recommend what is medically necessary, there is no “up-selling”. Highly recommend this veterinary office to take care of your furry baby.

We've gone to California Pet Hospital for years, and these 2 rascals (pictured) have always received excellent care. Recently, Dr. Silver has carefully guided us while we are caring for our senior cat who is in end stage kidney disease. With the help of Dr. Silver and the compassionate, patient team at CPH, our orange boy will be able to enjoy more comfortable days with us. Everyone I've interacted with on the phone or at the office has been easy to chat with and always very helpful. If you're looking for a new vet in the Napa area, I can't recommend California Pet Hospital enough.

Saved my kittens life. Love Dr. Felicity Moffatt. Kitty had a serious swelling in his belly - he was a shelter kitten that I fostered. It was horrible and sad to see his condition. Thanks to Dr. Moffatt + the amazing shelter teams support, Scooter pulled thru. He is a very healthy, happy well loved "foster fail".
