How to Save Money at Orange-Tustin 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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. Louka and his staff are just amazing. They are kind, loving, and caring. I live by multiple vets but I choose to take the 25-minute drive to OrangeTustin vet because of the amazing pet care.

Let me first say this facility has been here since our family dog Gypsy was alive in the 80s. Different staff of course. Last week we put our sweet Snuggles to sleep. I myself had not been established with this veterinarian but I am pleased to say we will be for 2nd rescue. It is the humble office it's always been. Clean, a very kind staff, affordable pricing and options for pricing plans if needed. They arranged our cremation as well affordably and presented her to us very sweetly with card and special personalization. I highly recommend their services.

First of all I would like to thank all the members of this animal hospital from the vet assistants to the veterinarian himself. From the first time I brought my dog in for rabies shots as a new customer Tammy made my experience quick, easy and without any hassle or extra charges for mandatory first visit examinations of my dog Snow. Sadly over the years my dog developed skin cancer that later spread through his whole body, the team through surgery good care and good advice prolonged his life with the least amount of suffering till it was time to euthanize my beloved companion. When the time came they made such a sad experience as good as possible showing true care and compassion for my dog, my family and myself. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who really cares about their pets because everyone at Orange Tustin Animal hospital does to. And once again to the whole team thank you your help was greatly appreciated! :)

The results of Dr. Lucas recommendations and treatment was nothing less than miraculous . Our dog has been suffering for weeks and since we have been traveling around and he needed a specialist we could not seek help right away. Not only did the kind Doctor has compassion for our out of state situation and allowed us his time without previous appointment, he treated us with such professionalism and generosity, we now see our dog Sunny's eye be getting better already and we thoughtit is a lost cause. Thanks wonderful staff and beloved Dr.
