How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Skyline Animal 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.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I just can’t say enough about Skyline Veterinarian hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA. From the moment I walked in for the first time with a very sick 12-year-old Maltese, I was greeted with welcoming smiles from a compassion staff. I was put in a room with a TV which made the long wait easier. Yes, there can be long waits, and the staff informs you up front that the veterinarian focuses on serious emergencies first, so be patient. The doctor was thorough and informative, taking blood work and x-rays where he found six slipped discs in my babies back (other vets told me that dogs ache when they get older!). Much to my surprise, the doctor discussed quality of my dog's life. We came to the conclusion that we need to put him down as he was at his "end of life". When it came to that time, on another day, the experience was so peaceful, and the doctor was so compassionate for our loss – I just can’t say enough about Skyline. When I finally walked away, I pondered on how soothing Skyline made our difficult time. In the past year of my dog’s life, I have been to about 8 different vets offices with no real determination of what the issues were. Skyline found the underlying issue within hours! I would highly recommend Skyline. Excellent customer service, staff was knowledgeable and friendly, offices were impeccably clean, and you leave with all the information to make an informative decision. Thank you Skyline! I wish you great success and will see you again in the near future.

I had an amazing experience here. I called over a dozen emergency animal hospitals however, this was the only location with a doctor on site who would see bunnies. The doctor was fantastic and so was the staff. Thank you so much to everyone at Skyline!

Beautiful facility, compassionate staff, everyone was so professional and caring at the same time. Came in for end of life for our beloved dog. They had not met her or us before but I’m sure I saw tears in more than one eye. My wife and I can’t thank Skyline enough for a peaceful passing of our baby, and for their compassion and care.

This was our first visit and it was for glass removal from my Golden Retrievers paw. I was able to get an immediate appt (within 1 hour). Although we waited a while, we expected that given that it is a pet urgent care, so it was no issue. The Doctor is personable and very helpful, he has a great pet and human bedside manner. The glass was removed and our golden is back to normal. We need a great vet in this area that isno BS! Thank God for Skyline.

They over charged me & never looked at my cat. I paid $191 for nothing. They charged $126 for an appointment that should've been $86 & I was a new client. I ended up going to my real vet the next day & they examined her & yes it was expensive but they did what they were there to do. They took care of my cat & she's doing great. Won't go back to Skyline. Very disappointed.
