How to Save Money at Animal Health and Rehab Center (Dr Marta)

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.

Dr. Sanchez extended our oldest husky’s life by 3 years with conservative laser therapy. We got to enjoy him a while longer thanks to her and her staff. She also diagnosed our middle husky with diabetes and is currently his PCP. They also treat our youngest’ allergies and tummy issues. My husband and I cannot be thankful enough for the care, attention, and professionalism demonstrated by Dr. Sanchez, Dr. Cerda, and the staff at Animal Health and Rehab. We would not take our dogs anywhere else.

Animal Health & Rehab Center is the best when it comes to caring for your beloved pets. When in the care of Dr Sanchez and her staff your pet will be in the best of hands. They will be treated with care and compassion. Dr Sanchez is very thorough in examining your pet and will never recommend anything that is not needed. She explains all treatment plans clearly and patiently. She is very willing to discuss any questions you may have. Among the illnesses I have dealt with with my pets are IVDD and Cancer. Facing those serious illnesses with a beloved pet is scary and stressful but all that was made easier by knowing Dr Sanchez was a the frontline of my dog's treatment plan. Even when she referred me to specialists, I knew my beloved pet was receiving the best of care because it was a Dr that Dr Sanchez trusted with the care of her patient. I just adopted a new dog and one of the first things I did was make sure she had a wellness check up with Dr Sanchez.

Dr. Sanchez and staff have been very patient with my corgi who recently went through a IVDD at southeast neurology after a sudden loss of movement in the hind legs. They are honest in their findings and are always providing me with home exercises that I can do with Maya to help her recovery if any. I want to thank all the kind staff that continue to support us emotionally through this difficult time, even though Maya is very vocal about her care when we visit the center.

I love this practice. Dr. Sanchez and her technicians and staff are just great...welcoming and caring. After receiving a diagnosis of arthritis on my boxer who was beginning to go lame and witnessing a progression of symptoms I changed clinics at the advice of a friend and Dr. Sanchez recognized it as degenerative myelopathy which a test confirmed. With prescribed PT my dog was able to negotiate this incurable disease in the best possible way. Dr. Sanchez is extremely knowledgeable ...a great vet. My dogs and cats are in great hands in this clinic.
