How to Save Money at CAMP San Pedro

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.

Getting 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.

I adopted Tabitha. She's the sweetest animal I've ever had. Positive experience, staff & volunteer were extremely nice & professional.

After going to the CAMP- Los Angeles where the wait time is 2 hours and a half. I decided to take my new puppy for his first shots here. I walked right in and I only waited 20-30 minutes. The staff was friendly and helped me with some of the questions I had. Definitely recommending this location if you dont like waiting a long time.

I took my newly adopted Min Pin puppy here to be neutered. They were very caring from the first contact. I selected SNPLA in San Pedro from of list given to me by the LA Animal Shelter for prepaying the service with the adoption fee. When I first tried calling to make my appointment I was met with an answering service, so I did not leave a message. In less than an hour, I received a call from them offering to be of service. It was easy to get an appointment and and they were very accommodating when I had to rescheduled. They follow up and emailed all the information I needed. Surgery went well and my pup, Luigi is as perfect as ever… They really surpassed my expectation, especially considering they offer low cost services. The clinic was clean. The staff, in person and on the phone, in my many interaction with them, was always professional, kind, patient and knowledge. Suggestion: parking can be a bit tight around pick up time, which is usually before 4pm and they share the same parking lot as the San Pedro shelter, its best to get there a bit earlier if possible.

Well priced services for cats and dogs. Walk in vaccine clinic and by appointment spaying/neutering. Clean facility with nice staff. Parking can be tough.
