How to Save Money at CVCA Alameda East
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.

Dr LaFauci and her team are always so kind and gentle with my old boy Jonah. He can be nervous with new people, but they have his trust now and he does amazing for his visits- even in a new location. Dr LaFauci is always very clear with her explanations, and I always feel that they truly care about Jonah.

I'm so glad I drove up from the Springs to visit this team. They took such good care of my little Stanley. I'm probably a bit of a "helicopter mom", and I always have so many questions and want to be involved a much as I can when it comes to my pet's care. Everything was explained with such detail, so I barely had any questions. They keep you involved with everything they do, and walk you through the findings as they see them. I'm pretty sure we were the last appointment of the day, which I'm sure is hard for them, but nothing felt rushed at all. The past month has been really hard on our little family, with so many issues with Stanley. But this was such a positive experience, and I'm so thankful for the team that helped us today.

My senior chihuahua had her first EKG and I was really nervous for this appointment. It all changed thanks to the techs and doctor. Thank you Dr. LaFauci, Lexus and Ayana. They were really kind and patient. They walked us through everything that was happening during the exam. Definitely recommend them!

I had an amazing experience with my pup there. I cannot say enough kind words about Dr. LaFouci. She was amazing. So patient, thorough, knowledgeable and above all so incredibly kind and personable. She took the time to explain everything in great detail and answered all questions without hesitation. I am so pleased with my experience today!
