How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Cabrillo Pet Hospital
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.

Blaisy,my 7yr old golden retriever, was spayed & had a repair of a small umbilical hernia on 12/11/25. Pre & postop recovery care was excellent! Communication with Dr. Lefkowitz & staff was great! Very kind compassionate team.💕🙏

Changed my opinion in minutes—catastrophe and desperation to going above and beyond in minutes. I will absolutely make them our family, if they make us/my lab a part of theirs. I have just moved back to San Diego, and I hadn’t had time to plan. I had my own health crisis and my lab is my service dog. He has a LONG, complex extremely traumatizing history, and I have spent everyday hoping he can live a full life. He is my family, my lifeline. I admit to sending the records late but summarized what I could across 8 states, 20+ vets, ERs, urgent cares with my medical issues (shared cytology) tied in. Today was meant to be an intro, but Jagger, my happy incredible loving Velcro dog had started rapidly declining and he needed care. He was inflamed and in pain. I had sent a detailed but concise timeline and history, with a large and redundant some irrelevant google drive folder. It was sent less than 20 mins before the appointment. That is on me. I always use a disclaimer—do not turn away my dog—he has specialists but he needs a family vet. His history is complex but 90% of the time he is happy wiggly and active. This turned urgent this AM, and I felt lucky to have an appointment. I was told they needed time to review records, and that they couldn’t see him. I went full Karen and said I would report them to the ADA—I was 7 minutes late and they could do an exam, regardless of history. They ended up seeing him and doing an ultrasound, assessing his pain, and were gentle, knowledgeable and the vet was amazing with Jagger. What I thought was dismissive was actually a desire to dig deeper with probably some fear around his history. He was meant to be healthy this visit and he wasn’t. I told them what records to focus on and left with treatment and some hope. I definitely could see that they cared, and wanted to further investigate. They handled my stress with grace, and did everything they could. I was scared and desperate. They did the best they could with why they had and it was better than good. I can confidently say I will make them family if they truly do go through his records and make him their family. The importance of keeping an unhealthy service lab healthy is incredibly hard and frightening—they changed my opinion fast. Thank you

Took my pet in same day. I may have gotten lucky. Staff is kind, place is very clean, and there is parking lot. My pet seems to be doing very well after an emergency yesterday. They held up their end of everything. It was a good experience starting with the first call. It seemed like a lot of money but it’s not more than other vets in the area, and the service was better. My cat is going to be okay and that’s what matters to my family. The vet was just as nice as the staff and I felt like I trusted her right away. Would totally return with more pets.

The staff is very friendly & gets to know your pet. They make sure my dog eats (which is a challenge when she is boarded as she gets very nervous when boarded) by offering her different food (rather than her regular food) if needed. They offer activities such as Kong time, playtime (one-on-one with a super calm resident dog or group playtime with other boarded dogs), and she got her annual wellness check & vaccinations while there, saving me a separate vet appt. They also offer grooming services! It is comforting to know they are connected to the vet hospital upstairs in case there is an emergency, I know she will get any medical attention needed. All of this gives me peace of mind when I am out of town as I know my dog is being well taken care of.

Very efficient and excellent service! They are easy to talk to and helpful when we were getting our pet's health certificate for travel. The vets, staff are very kind and explains thoroughly.
