How to Save Money at Affordable Animal Hospital of Orange

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 just want to say thank you so much to the workers here they were so helpful to help our furbaby ! The second we walked in there they were kind to us , even with the whole prices they worked with us and that we really appreciated no other place was kind like they were . Our dog had zero chance of living without the massive pyometra surgery and the doctor there was clear on that so they didn’t waist no time they got straight to work… again thank you 🙏🏽😊 here’s a after photo after her recovery 🥰

I've been going to Affordable Animal Hospital of Orange for over a year for both of my cats since they were kittens. This is the only place they've ever been and until today I haven't had any problems. Today I took my cat to get spayed. The receptionist was rude and unwelcoming so I thought maybe she was just having a bad morning. The only time she was not rude was when I complimented her on her scrubs. When I went back to get my baby girl the same receptionist was there working on the computer, didn't acknowledge me when I came in (not even to say "I'll be with you in a minute) and there was only 1 other person there. Approximately 10 minutes later she was still doing the same thing on the computer, hasn't helped a single person in the waiting room and now there are 4 people waiting for her and again she never acknowledged one person that came in. I simply asked how much longer it would be and was told, very rudely by her, that she is one person and there was another person ahead of me. I sighed out of frustration and when she asked me if something was wrong I told her she was very rude. She proceeded to argue with me and pretty much said would you like to pay your bill and never come back. I told her yes. She also proceeded to tell me she was a supervisor. After finally paying for services the tech, Rosa, brought out my baby girl and informed me to come back in 10 days for a checkup. I informed her I would be going somewhere else because of how rudely I was treated. She was very apologetic and sweet. I have another appointment for my 2nd cat on Friday and will be canceling that and going somewhere else. So sad that 1 person can ruin things to the point i will not return.

Every single time I try to make an appointment for my dog the doctor always seems to call off , not to sure why they’re in business. On top of that they never answer their phone not even for emergencies. I will no longer bring my dog here and will make sure none of my referrals go there either. This place hasn’t been the same ever since mimi left. She’s the only that was always on top of everything and made sure our visits were always smooth and made sure we were satisfied.

Terrible place--terrible staff--soulless people. I should have written this review 3 years ago when my chihuahua passed away in an unfortunate accident. This was the nearest place we could rush him too. He died there and all the staff were so unemotional. All they wanted was our money for a dead dog--they wasted no time handing us the bill. Then they had the audacity to call us up 2 weeks later and schedule a veterinary appointment for him that was past due. Stay away from this place!
