How to Save Money at San Juan Animal 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.

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.

I take my 2 fur babies to San Juan Animal Hospital for both their Veterinary and Boarding services. Their staff is both courteous and professional and I am able to enjoy my trips knowing that they are in capable hands should any emergency happen. The staff are so good to my babies and the Vet Techs and Drs are gentle when handling my babies. They are absolutely the best!

Dr Bennett and his team of technicians are worth going to San Juan Animal Hospital. They truly care about your pets' well-being. He explains test results where you understand what he means. The care and time he takes with the animals is just the best! You can tell all the doctors in this hospital really care about the animals, not just pushing animal parents through for money. Nice change- KUDOS TO THE DOCTORS WHO WORK HERE! The office staff is nice and helpful. The office is clean and maintained and organized.

After having a horrible experience with Capital Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Walker I was looking for a vets office that has a cardiologist. I came across San Juan Animal Hospital. I called and the lady I spoke with was so kind and caring. I was excited about our first appointment. Let me say that I have 5 Bull Terriers and I have been to a lot of different vets. From the time I walked into San Juan, I felt welcomed. I was blown away with how nice everyone was from my first call all the way through our entire visit. I have been twice with two different girls and have met with 2 separate vets and vet techs. Both vets were extremely kind and willing to listen to me, willing to answer questions and very respectful to me as a Breeder. I plan on this office being my main vets for all of my girls health needs! Thank you guys for such an amazing experience! You all gave me a new hope for great Veterinary care for my girls!!

I love this practice! The veterinarians are so kind and professional and make each dog owner feel like family. The front desk staff are very welcoming and kind and do their best to make the check in process run smoothly. I now have three Westies and they get so excited when I pull into the parking lot..... for an office visit, bath or boarding. That says it all!

San Juan is amazing. I boarded my blind cat Cricket there in July 2023. Cricket just had surgery at another vet. She had medications she still had to finish up. Cricket also does not eat cat food. That is the reason for her surgery. She will only eat some human food. Scrambled eggs and pasta with a hint of cheese. The girls at San Juan told me just to bring what she ate and they would feed it to her. They kept her 5 days I believe. They gave her meds and even ran out of eggs and fixed her more egg! I have a wedding out of town to attend the end of September I will be calling them again. Cricket is still a finicky eater. I think its because shes blind. 😢 To all of the girls and guys who watched her and who cooked more eggs. Thank you so much! I remember Kelly and Lisa I'm sorry I can't remember more names. ~Diana Johnson~
