How to Save Money at Vetco Total Care 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.

This little guy was recovered from underneath a car in my neighbors driveway. When Dr Rainey saw him, he was covered in fleas and ticks. After the wellness check and some testing, he was underweight, dehydrated and very anemic. His tests showed hookworms, Anaplasmosis and a critical blood count. The only option was to work with him and see if he would get better. Becca, Leah and TJ were very understanding, empathetic and gentle not just with this sick dog but with me. It was a very emotional time to see a dog so sick. I worked daily with him on a high protein diet, protein snacks, Iron drops and multi Vitamin B drops. We followed up in 1 month and he gained almost 2lbs and his labs were in normal range. The foster family fell through so he is still with me and I’m still working to get his weight up and improve his health. Dr Rainey, Becca, Leah and TJ saved his life and were a comfort to me when I didn’t know what to do. I’m so appreciative to the compassion they showed.

Lyza and Dr. Rainey Biler took great care of my cat! They listened to my concerns and were gentle and loving with my pet. They took care of my cat’s allergies and were very cost-effective. This was by far the best experience I have ever had with a veterinarian. I will definitely be coming back!

Dr. Rainey Biker and Jare are the best of the best! They treated my dog Hanna so well and made her feel comfortable and cared for. I absolutely love coming here now.

Thank you to Dr. Rainey Biler and his assistant Leah . They were great with my drama king Archie today. He had a second ulcer follow up and did various tests to make sure there is nothing else underlying this second ulcer. Leah has always been so kind towards my Archie always letting either Dr Deville and/or Dr. Biler know the drama king Archie is all talk but no bite.. lol she is so sweet with my Archie! Highly recommend San Pedro location. Even TJ front desk was so nice to us! Highly recommend vetco.

I take my animals here for their medical care. They have always helped. They aren't after money like others. They will tell you if a test is necessary or not. They won't push random tests or products on you. They treat my babies with care and respect and always make them feel comfortable. I have a dog and cat. I've had different friends and family go here and they too have had great experiences. When I got emotional at times they handled the situation in a professional and caring matter. I feel like I can trust them with my babies.
