How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Laguna Veterinary Care

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.

They responded us very quick with efficient manner. They even try to help us out to get my dog’s health certification for international travel although that process is complicated and need patience to have USDA endorsement certification paperwork. That great attitude indicates their borderless, universal love on all pets.

Great place to take your pet. They are very polite, professional, courteous and over all kind. Took care of my dog, for his shots and blood test. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍🐶🐶

We are so lucky to live close to and find Laguna! The staff were extremely helpful, and the Doctor is so thorough and patient with her explanation, has some amazing techniques (cup of peanut butter around the rim to distract from a shot/vaccination) and has some very practical & user friendly policies (check out in room so as to not juggle dog leash, wallet, signing & dog trying to say hi or hide from other patrons). As a military family member, we've moved quite a bit & I've had some wonderful vets, but Dr. Kholood Hassan just might be the best ever! This experience honestly is on par with that which I might have when taking my children to the pediatrician!

Laguna Veterinary Care is the most beautiful veterinary hospital I have ever seen, and Dr. Hassan and her staff have personalities to match. My cat is usually wonderful at home and a complete menace at veterinary hospitals (scratching people, yelling, unable to be held), but when I took him to see Dr. Hassan last week, he was calm from the moment he came into the hospital, until the moment he left. She won him over with treats and her calm way. She had a heating pad in the exam room that he loved and he even laid still for a blood test while one of her assistants fed him treats! Thanks to Dr. Hassan, now I know my little guy can be just as good at the vet as he is at home!
