How to Save Money at UNI Pet Clinic - Union City

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.

My Lil Boy Huey loves Dr.Kang! He loves animals and you see it when he practices on your campaign! Being in the pet industry for over 10 years it’s hard to find a Pet Clinic that is honest and ethical! I’ve been to 2 other clinics and there really isn’t any comparison like Uni Pet Clinic! Their wonderful staff are always super friendly, helpful, caring and happy! They make Lil Huey feel warm and welcome! At the end of his visit he never wants to leave! Lol- Studies show that less then 30% of all pet owners do NOT take their loving pets to a vet. This I believe is due to cost of vet visits! Here at Uni Pet they assure you are getting the best services at an affordable price! Pets are part of your family so please come down to Uni Pet Clinic, your fury campaign will be forever grateful! Being part of the Uni Pet Clinic family is a blessing. On behalf of Lil Huey and myself thank you Dr. Kang and the wonderful staff that make Lil Huey stay healthy & well! 🙏🥰🐾🐶😽

The patient experience will vary based on the front desk and technician you work with. Sometimes it great and feels like they want you informed on your pets health. Sometimes it is the opposite and it's like driving your car to an oil change shop and your pet is treated like a car that is getting a menu of stuff taken care of. It's not the worst place, and is an adequate clinic, but it's an inconsistent enough patient experience where we will go look for another clinic.

Went there 2 times and had a really bad experience both times with my kitten My kitten was 7 months and 1.5 years old when I took her to them. Here is why I think this clinic does not do a great job:- 1) When you arrive, they make you stand outside the clinic and take the pets in and have an operations set up where they keep moving the pet bags/cages forward. My kitten was scared and ill and I asked to be with her till her chance came but they refused. Poor kitty had to wait for 1hr+ to even get examined. 2) I had ordered 2 fecal tests for my kitten . They just sent a 4 word summary saying that the results were negative. When I am paying $300+ for tests, I would have preferred for a more comprehensive result of what all was exactly looked at. No one bothered to call me (as they had promised when I was at the clinic) and explain to me as well - Just got an email!! 3) The pricing is not great as well. They have increased the vet visit costs over time as well. 4) When I was taking medicines from them for my kitten, initially they handed me another dog's medicines. I was shocked when I saw that (PS: I have lost a pet to wrong medication in the past). 5) They told me that they will give me 10 ml of a medicine and gave me 1-2ml only in a transparent bottle. I realized that after going back home and came back the following day to get the full 10ml. They were kind enough to not charge me again for the medicines but this time they gave me in a covered bottle and told me that the drug was light sensitive and would reacts to light. I can only wonder why would they give it to me in a transparent bottle on the first day then. Overall, I gave this clinic 2 chances and have been disappointed both times.

Staff are really awesome and friendly. Dr Kang cares about my dog so I am confident he'll care about your pet as well. Wait times have improved. Did I mention the people who work here are super cool? Thank you!

They seem like they couldn't careless about your time. Every "appointment" is met with a half hour to an hour plus wait to actually be seen after checking in. Thought it might have been an exception the first few times but it happened again today. This is just how this place operates. Had a 3pm appointment, the lady at the front said there was just 1 patient ahead of us and shouldn't be long. 30 minutes go by and nothing...decided to leave and let them test other people's patients. Going to give up on this place. Rather drive further to another vet rather than having our time wasted by this place with their lack of care
