How to Save Money at Aamerican Veterinary 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.

I have never had a bad experience taking any of my pets to Dr. Caesar or his son. Been going for the past 15 years with hamsters, kittens, beared dragon and red Argentine tegu. Always understanding, low cost, not like the other vet offices that charge you at least $60 just to be seen. Gives me all the antibiotics I need in office and to take home. All these bad reviews are ridiculous sounding and what people see as a bad attitude or non caring attitude don't maybe realize that sometimes it's just a cultural thing how he talks and is just blunt. Anyways anyone that wants a caring vet and can't spend tons of money I highly reccommed Dr. Caesar.

I absolutely love Dr. Agustin and his helpful team at Aamerican Veterinary Hospital. Compared to prices from other hospitals, their prices are very affordable! Dr. Agustin is also very experienced and helpful. All of my questions were answered and I left feeling very comfortable. The receptionists were also very helpful and cleared up any last minute questions I had. I'll definitely be taking all of my pets there!

I'm not one to give bad reviews but this experience I still think about til this day! In may 2013 we put down my sweet little old lady. I was 8 months pregnant and very emotional!! I was furious when I walked out of there. They injected her and came back with her, we laid her on her blanket and I was rubbing her head balling my eyes out as she started to go! As soon as her body was lifeless, he starts poking her eyes basically explaining she was blind. This dog has been with me for 11 years, a little compassion would've been nice! We obviously knew she was blind at that point we just wanted for her to be free and no longer suffer. If her eyes were not poked around, I would be okay with this office and give a 3 maybe just because it seems like the vet did not really care at all.

I went to AAmerican under less than ideal circumstances twice; my kittens were extremely ill, and the chances of recovery were entirely ruled out. I took them both at different times in their lives, to be put to sleep. The staff is very helpful, and their prices are incredibly reasonable, even more-so than Animal Welfare League. The rooms are clean, and they try their best to offer you comfort during difficult times. I also had the remains of my little ones given back to me in urns that are compact, beautifully designed (different colors for each of my babies), and kept safe in a velvet, inscribed bag. I've seen reviews for these guys so focused on their accents, when really, if you just take a moment of your time to focus, and listen to them, you will understand just fine, and see that they care very much for their clientele and the animals that come through their hospital.

Veterinary hospital is hidden away and if you blink you’ll miss it. All joking aside, they are great to work with. Always ready to take on any case and go above and beyond to help. They accept walk-in’s and don’t turn you away like corporate veterinary hospitals. They also take on the pets that other places cannot handle. They have a unique and amazing way to handle all pets. Highly recommend if you’re looking to have your pet treated and treated right!
