How to Save Money at Animal Medical Center 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 came to this establishment for the first time today. I can’t explain why, but when I first called this location I immediately felt comfortable. They were so kind and informative over the phone, they provided me with accurate pricing, and they reached back out to me to confirm I was able to take my cat in to be fixed. When I arrived this morning one of the first things I noticed was how clean it smelled inside of the office. I feel like when I usually go into vets, there is always a lingering smell (which is expected when it’s a facility for animals) but in this case, there was no bad smell. They went over the pricing with me one more time at drop off and everything added up to what I was told over the phone. They texted me promptly once my babies survey was complete. I definitely recommend this vet and will bring my baby back in the future.

I will not recommend this vet to anybody. We brought our dog to this place since he was 12 weeks old, and we thought they were amazing. Checkups were easy and somewhat affordable. However, my dog got sick (losing weight, vomiting, etc.) and the vets did nothing to help him. The blood tests they ran were practically useless, all they did was recommend us to a specialist without telling us the issue. He kept getting sick, so we took him to another place just to find out he had cancer. With all of the blood tests they ran, the Animal Medical Center were unable to solve the problem until it was too late. I do not know how fast cancer may spread in a dog, but within those last checkups, they found nothing abnormal.not to mention that they did blood test October last year, now our dog is dead💔 So please bring your pets somewhere else don’t bring them to this place, they don’t know how to read there blood test..

I don't know what happened to the old staff but the new vet is one of the sleaziest people I have had the unfortune to meet. They flushed the ear of my dog for $38 dollars without consulting me, and didn't tell me what they had done until my wife saw the receipt. The Vet Technicians were rude, and made me feel like I was inconveniencing them by double checking the math on my invoice. That coupled with the fact that my vet accused my dog of trying to bite him has me looking for a new vet. The total cost of a year of core vaccines for two dogs and the ear meds/ flush for one was almost $400. If you're looking for a vet that actually cares about your dog, look somewhere else.

First, I love that they are “Fear Free Practice”! I am also a fear free groomer. So I know why it is beautiful to see another Fear Free family! It really makes your life different and broaden your perspective 💕 Second, they respect you! Politeness. Caring. Warm welcoming 🐾 Last, Dr. Ashley Martynec is a pawsome and caring lady! She didn’t make me scared and tried to sell anything when she could have because I’m extremely cautious and worrisome mom after lost my boy from FIP. I was the one who forced her to run the test 😂 Result came out good - Phew! P.s. No vets and people notice the safety pin around my boy’s scarf and on the bandage. They are the first one who noticed and worried about the pins. No accident ever happened for few years with the pins but because they concerned, I decided to respect their request and removed it. Lovely place 😊💕 Happy thank you from my boy and I!!

They are very nice and make it easy during COVID. They take precautions and handle the animals with care. I brought my puppy here for her shots and the puppy plan is worth it. They call the next day just take make sure that the puppy is doing fine. I really recommend this place! Amazing 🤩
