How to Save Money at Fallbrook Veterinary Clinic

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.

We are so grateful to have finally found our vet in the area! They are really caring and were able to offer us so much useful information about how to care for our new adult adoptee. And their prices are totally reasonable. We had so many negative experiences before with vets barely doing anything and charging us an office visit. This place is in business for the right reasons.

"You've created a monster". These were the words the Dr. used. First our kitten is barely 3 months old. Second you don't allow pet owners to come in. Third you're wearing a mask, hat and you are a different race than us. Our kitten was scared and so yes he's going to swat and back away. He has never hissed at us, our son or guests that have come over. How about you allow one owner come in and help handle the kitten - I wouldn't let my son go into the Dr's office by himself expecting a nurse to handle him. $70 down the drain as we now have to administer de-worm solution. We will be finding a new vet that will have not only bed-side manner but empathy that a 3 month olds kitten might me scared with a stranger trying to handle him. RIDICULOUS!

Dr. Downhill, we have 2 dogs and a cat in for services in her clinic for 20 years. And because of her expertise we stayed. But she has no bedside manner and can be rude. She shut the door on me 2 weeks ago on our last day there as we moved out of the valley. So just know she can be a moody person.

I had to wait outside while my labradoole went in. No big deal, however , several others went in with their pets , and came after me. The talk between the vet and myself, pertaining to my dog was done via phone calls . Nothing really gained about my animal. Cost about ,200.00, couldn't get a receipt either...no recommend.. Go some where else,...

Most unscrupulous "doctor" I've ever encountered and extremely rude. Took our chi in when he was a pup cause we didn't know what a reverse sneeze was and she sold us a load of cough & cold meds. Did I mention she has 4 chihuahuas herself?! Unbelievable. Don't get conned by her low prices, you get what you pay for!
