How to Save on Veterinary Costs at PAW Veterinary Center

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

PAW is amazing. PAW is the type of place you want when looking for the right care for your pet. PAW is a warm, welcoming and compassionate vet clinic. They take the time to know what's best for your pet and ensure they are giving the right type of care needed for them, specifically. Having three dogs of my own, at various stages of their life, it gives me a sense of relief knowing they are getting the right care for them. Not only do I know my pets are getting top level care, they always explain everything in great detail. I fully trust the PAW team to always do the right thing - and I don't have to question or feel like I need a second opinion. Dr. Didkovskaya (Dr. D!) is incredibly thoughtful, patient and kind, which is something all of us want when we have a pet going into a possible stressful or unknown situation. I've been going to her for over 10 years and I'm so excited she has a clinic that has such a great & relaxing atmosphere! Can't recommend them enough!

Dr. D is amazing! I don’t think there is a better vet out there. We have been going to her for years and now at PAW it’s even better. This place is top notch. Recently my dog was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor and Dr. D got it all out and really made myself and my baby boy feel at ease throughout the whole process. We feel so lucky to have such a great and caring Dr. 5 stars!!

This facility is top notch in terms of the talented individuals that work there and the technology applied. We are travelling due to work. My Australian Shepard had been feeling sick for a couple of weeks. When no other vet would work him in between El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and Redondo. They fit us in the same day. Everyone from Erika at the front desk to Dr. Hix were caring compassionate and skilled. The paid great attention to my dog and pampered him in every way. Ultimately, they discovered some extremely bad health conditions as his health declined dramatically. within a few days he couldn't walk or stand, get a drink or even go outside to relieve himself without assistance. Throughout this the staff was extremely caring diligent and attentive. To both my dog and my wife and I. Unfortunately my dogs illnesses were to much for him. Not for lack of care or skill by the staff here though. If you're looking for extremely talented and caring people go here. You will not be disappointed.

Awesome and very knowledgeable team of Dr. Hix and Dr. D., in an awesome new facility in a spot with easy access to El Segundo and Hollyglen. Office team was friendly and accommodating. They have separate dog and cat boarding also in cool upstairs areas with quiet spots for cats and a play area for the dogs; pretty unique. Will definitely visit again.

My two dogs have been seeing Dr. D since the day they were born and I wouldn’t change that for anything. Dr. D and her team are extremely experienced, patient, and more importantly, create a fear-free environment for the pups! I love her new office too - it's very modern, clean, and comfortable for the pups and their human parents. Thank you for your compassion and your excellent care for my furry babies.
