How to Save Money at Davids Animal 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.

Very thorough visit and personable dr. Edwin. I havent had a dog in years and adopted a family dog that is older with many ailments. Dr. Edwin was straight forward, honest, thorough, caring and patient. He answered all of my frantic questions with ease. The front desk staff and nurse was nice also.

I visited Davids Animal Clinic when I knew something was wrong with my chihuahua she was 13 years old at the time. Prior to going to this clinic I took her to a popular vet hospital. They said nothing was wrong with her. 2-3 days later, she was definitely not ok. I went to this clinic and Dr. Edwin was able to treat my chihuahua and I went home with medications. 2 days later I noticed she was bleeding out of no where, i ran to the clinic and they immediately told me what to do next. Dr. Edwin performed surgery the morning after. Everything was successful and he found what was definitely wrong with her. They are attentive, knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. 1 year and 3 months after surgery my chihuahua is happier than ever. I thank this clinic for giving us the chance to have more time with our fur child. If it wasn’t for them, probably my girl wouldn’t be in this world anymore. ¡Gracias!

Dr. Cuevas is one of the nicest vets out there! He is nice, caring, patient, loving and will educate pet owners about their pets health and how to get them to feel better. He truly loves animals and he is very knowledgeable. He will always explain how he will tackle your pet's issue, so that there are no surprises. I have taken my cat and dog to him for years and will definitely recommend. His staff is nice and they will make sure you get your questions answered and will try to work with you if your pet is sick and needs an urgent visit. The clinic is nice, open, clean, and spacious. Price is comparable and they will only prescribe/charge for what your pet needs.

I have to say it I really love how everyone from the front desk to the doctor is willing to listen to clients concerns and address them and work with you based on what you see at home to help treat your pet. That level of caring and customer service is so hard to find out what days.
