How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Colina Veterinary 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

We took our dog Sunny to see Dr Jesus Guajardo. This Veterinary clinic & their wonderful, kind staff are a miracle and all I can say is they've done wonders for extending the life of our little Maltese poodle who is suffering from seizures and other inherited spinal issues relieved his pain and eliminated his seizures and put him back in a good place thank you so much!

I really liked this office, the care my pet received the staff, & doctor, and felt the cost was extremely reasonable. As a 15 year veteran of the veterinary industry, I’m very choosy about my pets care, and I was pleased to find that this doctor provided a step-by-step, conservative diagnostics plan, rather than starting with an estimate that encompasses everything under the sun. The staff was nice, the doctor was friendly and patient. I got prompt lab work results over the phone. The recommendations were right in line with my knowledge of the problem. This will definitely be our veterinarian from here on.

My family has had good experiences for many decades at this Vet. They've done a good job with several of our pets throughout the years. The Father/Son duo and their team are wonderful and care about the animals. They also don't mind answering whatever questions you may have.

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Guarjardo after my old vet retired. He's very knowledgeable and extremely kind and patient! He's willing to actively listen to all of your concerns about your pet with empathy and truly respects your input, even though he has been doing this a long time. He's an authentically kind and calm person who always puts my "scardy cat" at ease by immediately giving him warm pets and using his calming voice on him. AFTER ALL OF HIS YEARS AS A VET YOU CAN TELL.HE STILL .LOVES WHAT HE DOES AND KEEPS UP ON CURRENT RESEACH ALONG WITH HIS WISON GAINED FROM HIS MANY YEARS WORKING AS AN AWESOME VET! He's HONEST, KIND AFFORDABLE & CARES! The ladies at the front desk are also very kind and super efficient and very personable! The few vet techs I have.met are also very friendly as well. I highly recommend this Vet office and the doctors that work here!

My dog had three tumors a hernia and was spayed they did a excellent job. The vet even allowed her to stay overnight so he could keep a close eye on her free of charge. I'm so thankful to them.
