How to Save Money at Gables 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.

Wow, what an amazing staff. Everyone was so helpful and friendly, were so gentle with my baby, and even explained services and prices BEFORE going through with them. The prices were fair and more affordable than other veterinary clinics I’ve been to. Today Sam and Dr. Alvarez took care of my baby and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll be bringing my other pups from now on and recommending Gables Animal Clinic to everyone I know. Update: went back with my senior, Sonia and Dr. Marianne Cerda took great care of her and were very patient. This is officially our new vet office.

I visited this place only once. I am grateful for the great service that I received that day. I am very happy because they allowed me to go inside with my dog, this is one of the main reasons that I will go back again. My puppy had the microchip, I believe was $45. Reasonable prices and most important friendly and sweet team! AFTER A FEW VISITS, MY REVIEW IS... I am... actually... "we are" very happy and grateful with the service in general. The ladies in front desk are very sweet, including the ones who pick up the phone. Assistants of the Doctors and Doctors are nice with Kona. One of the thing that I most appreciate and I like about this place, is that they allow me to go inside with my dog. Nobody knows very well your pet than yourself. It's less traumatic and more friendly when the "mamma" is there. I In my case, is also very helpful because I know some tricks to entertain my dog. The two different Doctors that saw Kona in different opportunities are sweet and friendly. They are not in a rush. They have a good selection of products in the entrance. The location is fantastic, not traffic, parking outside with no problem. I recommend this place!

I brought my Yorkie puppy Penelope here for a skin allergy emergency since this clinic is very close to my home and her original vet was much farther. For starters, I was happy to hear they were able to find a spot right away for me to bring my puppy. Upon arriving I noticed the office being very clean and organized, the staff was on-time, responsive and caring, Dr. Alvarez was wonderful, knowledgeable, patient and extremely helpful. My puppy can be very difficult and scared at vets and groomers but they treated her with patience and love. We both left happy with their services before, during and after our visit. To our surprise, a couple days later my dog was playing in the grass and got a few burrs stuck to her fur. She was in a lot of pain and would not allow me to remove them, so once again I called Gables Animal Clinic and they were able to see me right away removing all 5 burrs in less than 10 minutes and at no charge! I left much more relived and extremely grateful and happy for their services and good care. Needless to say they are now my primary vet clinic and I cannot recommend them enough! They are now in the process of putting together my puppy's documentation for an overseas trip saving me, yet another time, from a lot of worries. Thank you Gables Animal Clinic, I'm very happy I found you!
