Preventative Care
Taking your pet to the emergency veterinarian in Los Angeles CA on a regular basis will help improve their stress levels around going to the vet and can also catch chronic conditions and serious illnesses in their early stages. This can save on medical costs and even prevent the need for surgery, as these conditions are often treated less invasively if they are caught in their early stages.
Preventative care services include educating clients about the wellness needs of their pets, diagnosing diseases and injuries as well as prescribing medication. If you are worried about the cost of these services, Animal Health Care Center works with veterinary treatment financing solutions like CareCredit to help spread the costs out over time.

All of our surgical patients receive pain management medication post-surgery to ensure comfort and quick recovery.
