How to Save Money at Angeles 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.

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.

So incredibly grateful for Dr Barnes & his staff! Nothing bad ever happens with the pets during the week, it’s always on the weekend! Our vet was closed, as well as several other area vets. Dr. Barnes not only had a brilliant, caring & professional staff member intaking my call; they were able to meet us & accurately diagnose my sweet baby dogs’ issue, we were treated, given medication & they had a highly recommended high-fiber dog food that was suggested. We went from worried & having no vet available, to being seen, diagnosed & cared for within a short time. He is the best! Dr. Barnes thank you 🙏 (he is a true animal lover) #gratefulandblessed Simi Valley, CA Saturday @ 11:23am

We have been taking our animals to Angeles Animal Hospital for almost all the 29 years they have been open. Always had compassionate and exceptional service. This morning I called at 7:30 am with a senior dog needing euthanasia. This is an emotional decision to have to make. I was told by the front desk it would be two-three weeks before I could get an appointment. Really? I have a dying dog at my feet. I was then told I could call back at 9:30 and maybe the doctor could see her but there would be an additional fee of $146.00 on top of the normal fee. I don’t care about the money. I feel I should have been told “the doctor will be in at 9:30, let me see what I can do”. Zero Compassion for a dying dog and emotional owner. I’m floored. Fortunately, another Veterinarian was able to get us in, handled the situation professionally and with compassion.

So I brought my puppy here for his first set of shots and all his first year care, each visit I told them he was so uncomfortable . Non stop itching and licking . They did nothing . Months and months , finally he had a yeast infection I call to ask how I can treat him at home. They insist I needed an apt. Mind you I got the puppy package and was told that covered the first year of visits. That’s lie folks. So I get there she’s like $350 a month for treatment and 80 for the visit . I told her I didn’t have that kind of money, her reply was well you picked and expensive dog. Mind you it was a dead family member’s animal . Not one I went and paid a Lot for. But that means the expensive treatment. I’m in tears mind you. She said fine I have some cortisone you can have for $12 bucks . The ladies come back with the $150 cortisone. When I was just offered one for $12. Finally get out of there . Take him to a natural pet store they we’re so helpful. It was as simple as adding probiotics to his diet and limiting the ingredients. Took all this time and suffering and I finally get some good answers. He’s been on the new food for a Month and is thriving . NO MORE ITCHING, No Moore yeast. Now a Vet Should ask what you are Feeding your animal . Cause the food has Potato that created the yeast. A vet knows this people. They want your money. They don’t care about your animals
