How to Save Money at Lido Animal 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.

Dr. Earl diagnosed our German Shepard's bacterial infection in his colon and put him on an antibiotic treatment plan that is having a quick and healthful effect on him. He is feeling much better already. Dr. Earl is loving and caring in his interaction with our dog. We give our highest rating to the Lido Animal Hospital.

Dr. Earl and his entire staff are just incredible. We wouldn’t go to anyone else to receive care for our kitties.This is a team that is not only brilliantly skilled at what they do, but they care so much about their patients in every way. You can feel the love and empathy from every member of the staff. We count ourselves very lucky to have Dr. Earl as our Vet. It gives us a huge peace of mind to know that our fur babies are always in the best of hands.

Dr. Earl has been my fur babies Doctor since 2013. Dan, Erin, Susie, Joe, and the rest of Dr. Earl's crew are amazing. I think that it's so sweet how, when people arrive with their fur babies, Dr. Earl will get down on the floor with a majority of the dogs/cats to make them feel more comfortable, at ease, and loved. Everyone is very professional, super friendly, thorough, expedient, knowledgeable, honest, forthcoming, reliable, compassionate, and every time I visit all I've seen are huge smiles on everyone's faces. I moved back to Huntington Beach in 2015 and still drive to Newport Beach just to see Dr. Earl as my Veterinarian. I have come to know and appreciate Dan, Susie, and Erin over these past 7 years and continue to recommend Dr. Earl and his awesome crew to everyone I know. Thank you all for making my babies and I feel super special all of these years.

Dr. Earl and the entire staff at Lido Animal Hospital is simply amazing! They’re caring, patient and compassionate! I brought in my sick elderly Pom Sebastian in hopes they could save him. He was very ill with a blockage and at his old age surgery would have probably not been a good option. Dr. Earl never gave up on him and before I could make the difficult decision to have him go to sleep, he suggested we try one more thing to save him! It worked!! I’m so thankful for what the staff all did to save our little Sebastian! Thank you guys!

I've had first hand experience with Dr. Earl and his team for several years now. I was originally introduced by close friends who have used him, and I feel like it's the best decision I've made for our pets to date. Dr. Earl and his team really, and truly go above and beyond to take care of our pets, and you can see it from the moment we first walked through the door. There's a reason they're often busy, and it's simply because they show the same care and love to our animals as we do, which is why I will not trust anyone else to care for our pet's medical needs. I was apprehensive when I first went in, as I've had bad experiences with other veterinarians, up charging us and not giving us much time during the appointment, throwing incorrect diagnoses on our past pets, and overall causing more stress than good when we had left. This is not my experience with Lido Animal Hospital. I still remember our first appointment years ago, Dr. Earl came out to the waiting room and got down on the floor with our dog until our little guy was comfortable enough to go back to the exam room with him- Dr. Earl really does care about our dogs being comfortable and happy. His team must be mentioned - he has clearly hand selected a team of warm, hard working, and kind staff who are always attentive, caring, and willing to go the extra mile for their patients. If you're on the fence about finding a vet for your dog consider this: The entire staff shows genuine care and love for your pets as if they are your own, and at the end of the day, they know what they are doing, without breaking the bank. Sometimes I wish my own doctor was as thorough and funny as Dr. Earl and his team! I'm forever grateful for Dr. Earl and his team, and cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a vet for their fur children.
