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

Took our fur baby to their emergency hospital when he had a partial/focal seizure out of the blue. He is 6 years old and has never had a seizure before. Got seen immediately and they checked him out. Vet put us at ease that our little boy is fine. She explained why he could have had the seizure . And we never knew about that place until today! It was clean, professional, staffed by pet caring employees who were concerned about our little boy's health. We will definitely be keeping them in mind if we have another emergency. (no offense meant at all but we dont ever want something like that to happen again, sorry but we hope to never need you again) Yes, it's pricey but was well worth every penny to us. Our pets ARE our children and we never want them to be sick and will pay whatever it takes to get them back to health. It was a 47 minute drive, I wish they were closer but still very happy to have access to their facility.

Had to take my weimaraner, Chance, in last Sunday because something happened to his eye. The staff was absolutely amazing and Chance was very well behaved (proud momma here) A week on heavy antibiotics and eye drops and my beautiful boy is all healed up!! I appreciate the care and compassion. Y'all are the best!

My dog got a stick lodged in the top half of her mouth between her teeth. My dog and I were both incredibly frantic but CVETS Urgent Care was phenomenal. The tech came out and took her straight from me and they had me sign for potential sedation but they were able to remove it without sedating (saving me money overall). So incredibly thankful for this team and their quick response! The community desperately needed something like this. From me and my 10 year old fur baby, thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻 Also, the facility was very clean and staff were so friendly and professional. 10/10 highly recommend

Around 1:30pm yesterday (Saturday) we were getting ready for a wedding at 5:30 (2 hour drive away) and noticed our girl Remi was chewing on a plastic eyebrow razor. Not ideal, and we realized the blade was missing! She's never been a chewer. Even though she's part aussie/part husky, she's never been prone to mischief. Quickly we had to assume she must have swallowed the blade. Jumped into action and called CVETS. Thankfully the Sunset Blvd location is five minutes from us. We've never needed an emergency vet trip before, so I didn't know what to expect. They told us to bring her in ASAP. There was no wait. We were very overdressed as we came in our formal wedding clothes in the event she was okay... we would be able to hit the road right away. They immediately got radiographs done and saw the pieces of razor blade in her stomach. They presented a couple of treatment options, and ultimately everything that went down came back up with no issues or damage. Dr. Hubbell and Marissa explained everything to us along the way and said Remi was totally fine and would sleep the rest of the night. There were a couple of other staff members who helped--I wish i could remember everyone's name! We were on the road to the wedding by 4:30 and made it to cocktail hour! Remi is her happy self; she appreciated the extra attention, love, and care she received. The total cost was less than I expected, but I received all the necessary documentation to submit to our dog insurance company and the claim has already been approved less than 24 hours after the incident. It was a clean and beautiful facility. The staff were all attentive and professional. I hope we don't EVER have to go back, but if we do, I would feel totally at ease with my animals in their care. Thank you CVETS!!

We brought my Belle in this past weekend after an about a week and a half of her declining. I had taken her to our regular vet a few days prior for bloodwork and treatment, which wasn’t working. I was fairly certain when I took her in this past weekend to CVETS, that I would leave without her. She was my best friend for 16 years. I have had her since I was in 4th grade. She was my best friend and so much more than a dog. She went everywhere with me, including college and grad school. She was with me through everything. Losing her was losing part of myself. Dr. Powalie was incredible with her and with my husband and me. She was so compassionate. She explained how selfless we were being in making this decision for Belle. She gave us all the time we needed with her. She walked us through every step. We had a very short wait time in the waiting room and were able to leave through a side door to avoid walking past all the new patients. I am so thankful for the staff here. Thank you for taking care of my sweet Belle.
