How to Save Money at Sunset Pet 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.

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.

Had to fly out last minute and my puppy needed his shots and physical exam before traveling. I walked in and the staff offered me an appointment the same day. I was very grateful for that The Vet and tech were very nice and explain everything to me. Also got a good price for everything that my dog needed. Definitely will stay with them. Totally worth it.

A big thank you to Dr. Caballero, Vet Tech Alexa, and all the friendly office staff at Sunset Pet Hospital for taking such good care of Chacho. I shopped around for a good vet and finally have found the best one. They have given me such great advice on caring for my little pooch. My only regret is it tends to be expensive however I have found that’s true across the board at various clinics and well I would pay anything for my dog. They have an annual plan that helps to cover costs. They helped heal my dog after a scary stomach infection. Thanks again. Also since you only get to see Chacho when he is scared and has to wear a muzzle, here he is when he is playful and happy.

I love that they are not pushy with getting you to do extra on your pet. They are punctual with their appointments and reasonably priced.

This place is a SCAM!!! I feel so stupid to fall for it. I have petassure insurance through my company, and that was the place listed. I did the appt, and I told them that we have the insurance. My husband took our dog for a 2-hour appointment for a simple annual. He waited patiently. They didn't do the dental or prescribed medication, and that was the main point to take the dog to the doctor because he is a healthy young dog. They told us that we couldn't use the insurance because we have a bundle price. So we end up payment $300 for a regular check-up and rabies vaccine. I was going to take my cat for his annual, but I will never go back to that place.
