How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Metropolitan 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.

If I could give more then 5 stars I would. Dr. Weber and his team are truly under appreciated for all that they do. My poor Luna was hit by a car, and I tried taking her to 7 different animal hospitals, and they all turned me away because I didn’t have the full $1,000 dollars they wanted just to diagnose all that was wrong. But literally the second I took Luna here they immediately accepted her, considered her part of the family, and treated her right away. I literally started crying from being so thankful I found someone that cared more about helping a pet in pain then the money. Dr. Weber made me feel so comfortable and relieved about my kitty’s whole situation and I never doubted for a second that she was in the best hands she could be in. He cared, showed compassion, showed sympathy, made you understand everything that was going on and what needed to happen, and explored every option there was to help you pick the right choice. His wife Lindsay is just as great! She worked with me with the whole payment situation and didn’t turn me or my kitty away just because I didn’t have the full amount right away. And she sat there and talked with me and shared stories with me when they were already closed and most likely ready to go home, just to help me feel better after finding out about my kitty’s leg. And lastly their daughter is just as amazing as they are! You can’t help but be in a good mood when she’s around. You can just tell how big of a animal lover she is just from her energy alone. She was so great in reassuring me how safe my kitty will be, and was the best at keeping me updated on how she was doing before, during, and after her surgery, and even kept checking in with me after taking her home. I don’t think I have one negative thing I could say about this place, or these people. They are truly under appreciated and deserve A LOT more credit and praise then they get. I seriously keep trying to think about what I can possibly give them to show how thankful I am for them and what they have done for Luna and I, but I don’t think I could ever show them how truly amazing they are, and what they do, because they are simply THAT amazing. If you are taking your pet anywhere else then you’re making a huge mistake. Once you take your pet here you won’t trust a single other person with your pet. They found a forever customer with me, and I refuse to take Luna anywhere else besides here. They are by far the best in the business, and in life.

Dr Weber was recommended by a rescue & pet parent. At this moment I have an ill baby cat, (don't know what's wrong or how he got sick.) I called a lot of vets around my area in Riverside but no one would give me the time of day that also includes his own vet, and I was asking for handouts. Either way, I heard about this doctor in Santa Ana (a bit of a distance) but this doctor created a time slot for me & my baby. He spoke to us (cat & me) he held my baby, examined him and explained to me what his conclusions were. He showed me my boys X-rays and explained (not in a condescending manner but still in a language a 6 year old could understand) his findings and thoughts on the matter. This doctor took his time with us and helped us when no other Veterinarian would not even a vet I have recommended to others. Let's just say that my babies have a new doctor a bit of a ldrive on the 91 fwy but his service is excellent as well as his staff.

Dr. Weber and crew are nothing less than phenomenal. They care about your fur baby like if they were their own. Would never go anywhere else unless forced.

EXCELLENT VET!! THIS IS THE GUY!! IGNORE THE RIDICULOUS ONE STAR PJ REVIEW BELOW!! You know finding of that a Vet that can take care of your pets, someone that you can trust and rely on is not easy to do. I have been going to Dr Webber and Metropolitan Vet Hospital for 7 or 8 years now with three different pets, a dog and 3 cats and I just cannot say enough about how good this guy is! It’s annoying to see some disgruntled moron swing down and post a one star with a one sentence review and then run off and you have no way to respond to or challenge what they write. Take a look here at all of the five star review!. Go on Yelp and see even more, like 50 or 60 of them! Simple words on a Google page really can’t explain the experience, but the five star reviews, one after another, tell you that other people, other pet owners like yourself, have actually been to Dr Webers office, have actually had the experience of getting help from the doctor and his staff. They’re rating him AFTER they took their pet there! There is a good chance you might not have been to Metropolitan before and if so, let these other folks that have been guide you!

Dr. Weber is the best! He always takes care of my Cowboy. Not only is Dr. Weber great but his team/staff really helps a lot too! They deal with all the crazy animal lovers like myself and deserve 5 stars because they are always patient, kind, and loving. Eva always knows how to handle my handsome hunk since he doesn't get along with other dogs! I would highly recommend because of the team there and inexpensive prices. Thank you Metropolitan Vet!🐾💛🐶
