How to Save Money at Conejo Valley Veterinary 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.

Staff was really nice. Taking my sick mutt on a weekend- Great! Everything was 5 star IMHO until I decided I would hold off surgery and find a better price. They gave me all the medical records except the one I needed - The ultrasound. I can not even get a quote from other doctors or hospitals with out this. I did learn a lesson. My lesson was, before I pay a huge bill at a hospital, I will make sure I have all the medical records in hand.

Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital provides expert care with utmost compassion! We had an urgent care situation that happened a couple days ago, our current vet could not bring us in so we were referred to call CVVH and we are so grateful we did! From the moment we called to the moment we walked out the door we were all treated with the best care and warm kindness. They were able to quickly schedule the surgery that our boxer needed and we have full faith that the vet surgeon and staff will do all they can to ensure it is successful. We highly recommend them and will now be patrons for life! 🐾🐾

Our poor dog has a very puffy eye, itching etc. I called today and she called me back and said in order to accelerate our wait time, we would need to pay a $500 deposit to just start!!! I told her shame on you taking advantage of us. Wow, I understand everyone needs to keep their doors open, but whatever happened to being fair and honest? God bless them and hope one day the do the right thing.

Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital is a true gem for pet owners in the Thousand Oaks area. I took my Golden Retriever there last Sunday and the emergency access charge was very reasonable - maybe $40 more than their normal charge for a non-emergency, non-Sunday visit. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. The Vet Doc, Dr. Ohm (I’m sure I’m spelling his name wrong), is very nice and patient, taking his time to explain everything, and he’s obviously a really smart guy. The biggest problem I had was that they finished too fast. I was all set up to get some work done on my phone (I figured I’d be there for a few hours) and they were already done with everything for my Golden in around 30 minutes. Bottom line, it looks like we found a new vet for my best friend. Trust me, the place is great - you won’t want to take your own best friend anywhere else.

Wonderful experience. My Doberman had an a nasty abscess between her toes. On Monday I took her to a vet in my neighborhood that we had never been to before but was needed to get her seen as our vet was booked. After a lengthy wait the doctor came in and kept calling her “him” which seemed weird. He wanted to go in from the bottom of her paw and see if a splinter or some foreign object was there. The doctor left the room and 2 techs came in with an estimate of costs for a $1,200. surgery! WHAT!… a surgery? Nope, not my pup. Seemed EXTREMELY excessive. I said NO and asked for an antibiotic shot and some pills and got out of dodge. The next day her paw looked bad and I was worried about her. I called my regular vet and FOUR other vets and NOT one place could get her in because they were booked. My mom and sister go to Conejo Valley so I called them even though we are in Encino. I was told no problem and we could bring her in right away. We got there and were taken immediately. The nicest Dr. Hughs came in. He wanted to lightly probe the area to check to see if anything was in there (there was not) and flush it out to clean it. No surgery suggested. He did his thing, bandaged her up sent us off with more antibiotics and sent us on our way for $277.00 which for a vet seemed reasonable. In and out within an hour. She is doing great. Was so pleased with the offices, the people, how clean it was, the speed in which they saw us and the very confidence and conservative way they treated her. Received a follow up email the next day to see how she was and if we had any questions. I left a message and they got back to me very quickly with my answer. Loved how professional and competent it was. It’s now Thursday and the abscess has gone down significantly and she’s doing great. Found our new vet! Couldn’t be happier with them.
