How to Save Money at VCA Forestville Animal 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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 love Dr. Feyh. She's very good with my dog and has taken good care of him since he was a puppy. She has been instrumental in keeping him going despite a cancer diagnosis.

First off I will say that the Vet’s are really nice here. It’s 5 minutes from my house and I really want to make them my vet but there prices are OUTRAGEOUS!!! Way more expensive than all other vets. Every time you come back for a follow up on the same issue they charge you a $92 visit fee!!! My appt was 10 minutes. That’s unreal and just bad business. I paid 600 dollars to treat what started as a dime sized abscess on the skin.

They are honestly the best. I have a very nervous dog and they are so sweet to him. But the very best part was after our appointment was over our car had died and Katrina jump started our car. She is the sweetest person and I'm so glad she helped us. Definitely come here for all your pets needs! ❤️

Whatever you do try to not go to Forestville VCA. They’re overpriced with lackluster service while being super avaricious and money grubbing. Of course, they will save your pet if you must. My last time I went for an ear infection for my kitty. I had to strongly insist that they not test for mites($), this is an allergic infection she gets every year. They agreed to test for other problems and found that it was a yeast infection. They recommended weekly ($$$) visits afterwards to “ensure” that it had completely cleared up. On my third RETURN visit the visiting vet couldn’t understand why I was there. Neither could I. See ya! I’m checking out Wikiup.
