How to Save Money at Foothill 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 bring my Frenchie here for all his up to date shots and this has been our vet since he was a baby. Everyone is so nice and they attend us always with open hands. Affordable prices on shots for your pups. Thank you foothill animal hospital!!! Keep up the great work.

I just wanted to make you aware that there are some reviews that pertain to the former owner of this business. I believe that Dr. Travis and Jeannie took over in 2021. So there are some reviews that have nothing to do with the owners or the veterinarian that are presently on staff. I did some bloodwork and vaccines in preparation for a dental cleaning. I don’t have a regular vet that I see. I’ve been searching and trying different vets in the area. I saw an ad for a special on dental cleaning and decided to try this vet. The all-around experience was good and the best way to describe them, is more one on one attention, rather than dealing with a big business vet. They were extremely thorough about everything. I felt so nervous about putting my JoJo under so I asked a lot of questions about anesthesia and told them his background, which is a bit frail. He weighs 4 pounds and he has some health issues, so I wanted to make sure they were aware of everything. Everything they did for us felt like they went above and beyond. It was not cheap but I felt they were worth the money. Most vets charge that much but they don’t give you that personal attention. I would highly recommend them.

What a lovely place. We had a great experience for our 8 week old puppy's first check up. Dr. Travis was kind, helpful and took her time getting to know our puppy. She answered all my questions and had great suggestions. I never felt rushed while we spoke and she is very approachable and easy to talk to. I like the small environment and easy parking. This is a wonderful place with very helpful staff. We are looking forward to our connection to them as our pet grows.

This Animal Hospital was amazing! Got our dog spayed and they were amazing at explaining the process! Didn’t try to upsell us, made recommendations but didn’t push anything. Very clean, employees were extremely nice! They even called the next day to follow up and make sure our dog was doing okay and to see if we had any questions. Price was the best in town as well! Highly recommend!

The staff is super helpful and highly recommended. My cat needed emergency surgery and they saved his life! Our other visits went great too. Theyre affordable and offer compassionate care!
