How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VCA Pine Lake 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.

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

I am very grateful for the staff here. My dog, Millie is a very reactive and high anxiety rescue pup. At previous vets we were required to give her sedatives and muzzle her. Vet techs (Lisa!) went out of there way to do happy visits with Millie to get to know her before her wellness visit, then, for the visit itself, her and Dr. Adam’s came outside, sat in the parking lot and did the exam there because Millie was not able/ willing to go inside yet. No muzzle and no trazadone needed, they even got to look at here teeth which our previous vet never did. They did her vaccines while feeding her cheese and Lisa has even gotten a few kisses from Millie, so she is officially in the club ;) I so greatly appreciate the accommodations for dogs like my Millie girl, it makes vet visits so much less traumatic for all of us :)

Kind, communicative, and accommodating staff. My Frenchie was recently spayed and had nares surgery, they were amazing. It’s been three weeks and my pup is feeling better than ever

Where to start?! Previous 4 star rating has now slid to 1. Only 1 (very good) doctor on staff who is likely overworked. Limited hours. Closed on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Never pick up the phone. VCA "by our playbook" customer service. Some staff with little/NO empathy and NO proactive accomodation when client expresses concern about their pet's health. Seem more concerned about their own personal workhours versus accommodating a 30+ year client. Always overcharged on meds (send Rx to Safeway or Costco!) and outside lab fees (you're stuck here with whatever VCA wants to charge). Final straw...(Their choice): #1. Please let me wait and talk to the doctor for 2 minutes (rather than tech reading/regurgitating notes on file) or #2. I walk out the waiting room door with My dog and never come back. Tech starts reading notes again & shrugs her shoulders... indicating she could care less. Dr. Jerry Bishop would be aghast.

We are very grateful for the staff here from reception, to assistants to the vet. When our sweet dog passed away suddenly through the night, they took care of the details, explaining everything to us and were empathetic. We were fairly new clients, but have been so thankful for the caring service we received!

I have only been going here for about 2 months but have been in the office probably 5 times. I am really really happy with them so far. I had dental work done on my cat today. It was the first experience I’ve had with my pets where they went under and Were sent home while not being wobbly / unsafe. They had two people in the operating room so he was never left alone and they followed all proper protocols like keeping the eyes lubricated, etc. Outside of that, they take their time answering questions and do so thoughtfully. Their availability is great if there is something that needs urgent addressing. Overall I am extremely pleased and grateful for the people who have provided support and care thus far. They are one of the best Vetinarian offices I have ever worked with and I highly recommend them for pet care.
