How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VCA Ventana Animal Hospital

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.

My review from 2 years ago: Hardly any wait. Thorough service. Took good care of my girl without price gouging me. I'm going to bring all my fur babies there. Also, there is an app that's very informative and you can pay from wherever with it! My review now: very very disappointed. It seems adding clients has become more important than serving the customers who have been loyal patrons. It is more and more difficult to get an appointment. My dog was also prescribed medications that needed to be refilled. They kept saying, when I called, they would call me back to fill her script up to her appt date, but they never called. There are some medications that should not be stopped abruptly, especially at a higher dose. How is that not neglectful? In short, their services are great. The vet, Dr. Sean, is great. BUT failing, after all this time, to find an additional vet to help carry the additional client load they keep taking in, leaves those of us who have been loyal, neglected. If you can get in to be seen, it will be great, but don't expect consistency.

If there is a number larger than a 5, these guys deserve it !! Dr Ries and his team (especially Dr Hu) diagnosed my Baylee in a matter of minutes. I will forever be grateful to them. Thank you just doesn't seem to cover it.

This is the BEST vet clinic I have ever been to! I have two very sweet, but old, dogs with many issues. Over the last three years that I have been taking them in, despite outliving their life expectancy, their health and quality of life has improved with the help of the Ventana AC Docs. The staff is very friendly, experienced, and intelligent. The facility is very clean. Highly, highly recommend!

We take our 3 dogs here and they get great care. The vet works with us on treatment options and has been especially good with my senior dog.
