How to Save Money at Santa Clara Pet Hospital

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.

We are thrilled with the customer service and special attention / care they gave to our dog. He was sick, we just moved to the area, a friend recommended them to us, they way exceeded expectations. Then a couple days later Dr. Littlehale called to ask how our little guy (Larry) was doing. Highly recommend them.

I absolutely love the service here. I am from the East Coast and I was in The San Jose area temporarily as a waypoint to go to Hawaii. This animal hospital made it way easier for me than my own vet did back home. They go above and beyond and they are super kind. I would definitely trust them with my fur baby and you should too! Not to mention it's nice and clean inside and they take extra precautions to sanitize in between patients and mask up!

Shoutout to Michelle, Rachel and Dr. Littlehale for their professionalism. We are their former client and recently we sought their assistance in resolving an old case with our pet insurance company and the case took place in 2020. Despite the fact that we are not their current client (we moved so we changed vet), they all still tried their best to dig up old record and provided us with the information we needed to submit to our insurance company. We really appreciated their valuable time and effort. During the time when we were their client, all the vets and front desk staff delivered professional and exceptional services. They are definitely one of the most trustworthy vets in the area!

Responsive and friendly receptionists, excellent communication, and knowledgeable vet. We just moved to Santa Clara with our senior dog, and I’m really glad we found this place so close to home. Fair prices for the area. Good size parking lot and easy to find.

The staff and appointment itself was super nice, super thorough, super organized, super efficient. One of the most positive vet experiences I've ever had. They were really nice to my elderly cat who got sick on the way over and even cleaned her carrier for me so I could focus on her vet appointment and vet instructions. Big thanks!
