How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Natural Pet Care

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

What can I say, Dr. Segrera is VERY knowledgeable!!! I’m a hour away and I’ve called her twice to her emergency line (after hours). She has answered promptly and recommended me something at the moment to help my dog. During my first appt she educated me so much and has helped me understand my two chihuahuas better. I drive a hour to see her, but it’s worth it. I have an appointment next week and I’m ready with a notebook and questions I want to ask. She is professional, knowledgeable, straight forward but most importantly she TRULY cares and loves dogs.

I recently had the privilege of bringing my beloved pet to the best veterinarian I've ever encountered, and I can confidently say that it was a truly exceptional experience. Dr. Sagrera at Natural Pet Care is amazing. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I knew I had made the right choice. The atmosphere was soothing and serene, creating an ideal environment for both pets and their anxious owners. The reception staff were warm and accommodating, making the check-in process effortless. But it was Dr. Sagrera who truly stole the show. Dr. Sagrera spent an extensive amount of time with us, ensuring a thorough understanding of my pet's health history, lifestyle, and specific needs. Her in-depth, non-rushed consultation left me feeling heard and reassured that my pet was in the best hands. What sets Dr. Sagrera apart is not only her clinical skills but also her genuine care and compassion. In summary, Dr. Sagrera is the epitome of a 5-star veterinarian. Her in-depth consultations, unparalleled clinical skills, and unwavering dedication to holistic animal care are second to none. If you're seeking a veterinarian who will provide your pet with the best in conventional and or natural treatments, Dr. Sagrera is the answer. I can't thank her enough for the extraordinary care she provided to my beloved companion.

I have taken my dog to several vetenarians in the past who hasn't been able to figure out his vomiting issues. Dr. Sagrera knew right way that his liver enzymes had to be checked. He has had blood work in the past but they never tested his liver enzymes. Turned out my dog's liver cannot handle high protein and his enzyme levels would be too high after eating too much protein. Dr. Sagrera helped modify his diet along with some supplements and it is now under control. He recently had his liver enzymes tested and it was normal! Dr. Sagrera has also helped my dog with other issues as well. She is very knowledgable & experienced. I love her holistic approach to care. She is the only veterinarian I trust with my pet's health. I recommend her to everyone I talk to regarding their pet's health!

I value Dr. Sagrera's professional opinion and felt she cared for my dog well. However, I find her demeanor off-putting. I dreaded appointments because she often scolded me (for instance, she scolded me for "taking up her time with questions" at an annual appointment). I also disliked that there was a charge for emailed questions, particularly when the question was whether or not I needed to bring my dog in to be seen. I continued seeing Dr. Sagrera while I lived in New Orleans because I felt she was a good vet and I appreciated her natural approach, but was unhappy with how I was treated as a pet owner.

I love Dr. Sagrera 's approach to veterinary care. I know that she mainly practices or uses natural, holistic methods and remedies. But she is not adverse to introducing more traditional vet meds such as antibiotics if she feels the patient needs it. She does not push or pressure the pet owner to use one type of therapy over another. She is honest, gives you options and really involves the pet owner in decision making. And if there's an issue that she feels she is not equipped to handle, she will let you know if a specialist should be involved in your pet's care. I am glad that I switched from a traditional vet to Dr. Sagrera's practice. I feel very comfortable with my decision.
