What Is Included in Every Appointment

CBX Pet Care is a coordination and transport service. The following are included in every appointment, at no additional charge beyond the procedure price:

  • Round-trip transport from your chosen meeting point in National City or Chula Vista
  • All border documentation including the CDC Dog Import Form
  • Check-in call where you speak directly with the treating veterinarian before the procedure begins
  • Checkout call with results, aftercare instructions, and next steps
  • Text message updates at key milestones throughout the day
  • Discharge paperwork and imaging results returned with your pet (USB for digital imaging)

There are no service fees, coordination fees, or administrative charges layered on top of the procedure price. The estimate you receive is total cost — transport, documentation, and procedure, all in.

How to Pay

CBX Pet Care accepts multiple payment forms. The booking deposit is non-refundable and applied in full toward your final invoice. The remaining balance is settled on the day of the appointment.

We do not accept pet insurance assignments or file directly with insurance carriers, but many clients submit their CBX receipts for reimbursement and have had success depending on their policy terms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing

Can the estimate change after I book?

Estimates can change only if the procedure changes. If the veterinarian examines your pet and determines additional work is needed — for example, discovering additional teeth that require extraction beyond what was estimated — you are called before any additional work is done. You approve changes before they happen.

What if my pet needs multiple procedures on the same day?

Combining procedures on a single appointment is sometimes possible and can be cost-effective. A dental cleaning scheduled alongside a tumor removal, for example, means one transport, one anesthesia, one day. Our coordinators will advise on what combinations are practical given your pet’s health status.

Do prices ever change?

Prices are reviewed periodically and are subject to change. Always confirm pricing with your coordinator at the time of your estimate — your written estimate locks in the price for your specific appointment.

Is there a charge to get an estimate?

No. Estimates are completely free and come with no obligation. Call or text 619-914-2990 or use the estimate form to receive a detailed cost breakdown within two hours.
