How to Save Money at City of Trees 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.

The best vet visit experience ever !!! Jeffrey became terrified of vet visits, making any kind of treatment extremely difficult and stressful for us and specially for Jeffrey. Dr. Matt was so kind and compassionate towards him that in a few minutes Jeffrey was confident and comfortable again. Dr. Matt worked patiently and kindly with him today until gaining his trust back. We are so happy and thankful for meeting Dr. Matt and his wonderful staff today.

If you are looking for a vet, or are not loving your current one and considering switching… RUN, don’t walk to City of Trees Animal Hospital. Dr. Matt is the best vet we’ve ever had in the decade plus of having our animals. He genuinely cares about the animals, and in a way that makes you feel included and cared for too. He listens to the whole story and you can tell wants to get to know the animal, not just the situation. We could not be happier to have found him. The staff is warm and friendly, and the facility is lovely. 10/10!

Dr. Matt and his team were incredible. Everyone at City of Trees made my cat's cancer diagnosis and leg amputation so much easier to process. Everything from the first phone call to followup questions about his recovery has been handled with the utmost compassion and professionalism. I cannot recommend this vet enough. Thank you Dr. Matt and everyone at City of Trees.

Great experience and staff at City of Trees Animal Hospital. Dr. Matt was thorough and kind. The rooms and space were beautifully decorated and comforting to our cats. We are happy to have this awesome new addition to the neighborhood where animal care is greatly needed!

I highly recommend this new practice in the Greenhaven/Pocket area of Sacramento. I don’t even live in the area, but worth the drive out to get care at a younger, more modern practice. The hospital is brand spanking new, clean, and comfortable and decorated with super cute artwork. There is pretty good coffee and tea for humans and tasty treats for your pets. The hospital is located in a strip with several good restaurants and a croissant bakery! So far Dr Matt and his staff have proven to be empathetic and patient with me and my not so cooperative cats. 😆 Are any cats? Price for wellness visit was fair and I think less than a corporate clinic. So that was a pleasant surprise. Note, they are open only three days a week, but I was told as the practice grows more staff will come on board so will eventually be open on more days.
