How to Save Money at VCA Preston Park Animal 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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Had an appointment and went in this morning, and that was the most friendly VCA we’ve ever been to. My dog is really sensitive with hospitals, and they were very professional, patient, and respectful about that without any judgment. Valerie and Doctor Rebecca were extremely kind and professional. They explained everything clearly, checked in with us during the whole process, and made sure my dog felt safe and comfortable. The clinic was clean, the front desk was welcoming, and the whole visit felt smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciate the care and will definitely come back in the future.

I started bringing my Pyrenees Corso, Hank, to see Dr Soileau. The whole staff has been great and we love our visits. I was kept up to date on Hanks procedure and that meant so much to me

There aren't really words in the English language to properly convey how grateful I am to VCA Preston Park, and specifically Dr. Diaz, for doing everything they can to keep my beloved companion animal with me. Unbeknownst to me, my cat had a congenital heart deformity, which was a surprise to learn at 12 years old! And even with this defect putting him at a higher risk for poor surgical outcomes, Dr. Diaz and her staff kept a very close eye on my boy, even aborting the procedure when his vitals dipped. They helped me get him to a feline cardiologist for the testing he needed to clear him for surgery, and I still have my ginger troublemaker here with me today. Recently I myself went through a rather traumatic oral surgery of my own, and I really don't know how to thank Dr. Diaz and her staff for taking such great care of him when he needed oral surgery. It seemed quite poetic. I helped him through his dental woes, and because of the talented heads, hearts, and hands at this VCA, he was here to help me through mine. One note of constructive criticism I think is valid is that I wish they had given me informed consent before they administered zorbium. Us laypeople, we don't know medications, especially newer ones, and had I known that an estimated one in ten cats do not survive their zorbium exposure, I probably would have asked what our other options are. His zorbium trip was a horror show, and I know I bugged everyone in this building calling daily about his case. It had actually gotten so bad I had scheduled a home euthanasia for him, because the window for him to have worked that drug out of his system had closed and he was still not himself. He did just need a little more time, likely due to his CKD stage II status, but looking back it does seem questionable to give such a risky drug to a patient with known weakened abilities to filter the drug out of their system. I would encourage every cat owner to research zorbium, and not only what vets say, because as pet parents, it's really hard to watch your child struggle because of something you let someone do to them. there are countless zorbium horror stories from cat parents, and I wish the veterinary industry as a whole wasn't so caviler about dispensing this (potentially dangerous) drug.

Real easy to get an appt due to the number of doctors they have. Switched vets because you could never get an appt. When a vet office says I can get you in for a visit in 2 weeks it is time to switch. Thanks for taking care of our Coco.
