CBX Pet Care Client Stories — Real Experiences, Real Results

Boxer With Multicentric Lymphoma — Full CHOP Protocol

“Our 7-year-old boxer, Duke, was diagnosed with stage IIIa multicentric B-cell lymphoma. Our oncologist in San Diego outlined a CHOP protocol and quoted $7,200 for the full course. We simply could not afford it. A friend mentioned CBX Pet Care, and within 48 hours we had an estimate of under $3,500 for the same CHOP protocol.”

“Duke completed 6 sessions over 20 weeks. Every single session, we got two phone calls — one before treatment where we talked to the oncologist, and one after with results. Duke went into complete remission after the second session. He gave us 13 beautiful months before the lymphoma returned. We started a rescue protocol and got another 4 months. Those 17 months were worth every penny and every early morning drive to Chula Vista.”

Golden Retriever With Hemangiosarcoma — Post-Splenectomy Chemo

“After our golden retriever Sunny had an emergency splenectomy for hemangiosarcoma at a local ER, the oncologist recommended doxorubicin chemotherapy to extend her time. The quote for 5 sessions was over $5,000. Someone on a Golden Retriever Facebook group recommended CBX Pet Care.”

“We completed all 5 doxorubicin sessions for about $2,300. The coordinators were compassionate and understood how emotional this was for us. Sunny tolerated chemo well — the worst side effect was mild decreased appetite for a day after session 3. She gave us 8 more months of quality time, which is right in the expected range for hemangiosarcoma. We are grateful for every one of those months.”

Cat With Intestinal Lymphoma — COP Protocol

“My 12-year-old cat Oliver was diagnosed with small cell intestinal lymphoma. The oncologist recommended a COP protocol. In San Diego, the estimate was around $4,000 for the treatment course. As a single person with one cat, that was devastating. I found CBX Pet Care online and was surprised at how straightforward the process was.”

“The fact that cats have zero border requirements made it even easier. No microchip form, no CDC paperwork. We just showed up at the meeting point in National City. Oliver responded beautifully to treatment and is still in remission 10 months later. The savings meant I could afford the entire course without using a credit card.”

Two Chihuahuas — Dental Cleaning With Multiple Extractions

“I have two chihuahuas, both 8 years old, and both needed dental cleanings badly. My vet in El Cajon quoted $1,400 per dog, and both needed extractions — estimated $2,800-$3,500 total. I was putting it off because of the cost, which made me feel terrible because I could see the tartar buildup and knew they were uncomfortable.”

“CBX cleaned both dogs on the same day. Peanut had 4 teeth extracted and Bella had 6. The total for both dogs, including all extractions, was under $800. That is less than half what one dog would have cost in San Diego. Both came home a little groggy but were eating soft food by the next morning. Within a week you could already see the difference — less drooling, better breath, and both seemed happier. I am scheduling their next cleaning now and will not hesitate.”

Senior Labrador — First Dental Cleaning at Age 11

“Our lab Bear had never had a professional dental cleaning in 11 years. I know, I know — but the cost always stopped us. When his breath became unbearable and he started dropping food, I knew I could not wait anymore. A San Diego clinic quoted $1,800 because he would likely need extractions.”

“I was nervous about anesthesia at his age, but the vet at the CBX partner clinic did bloodwork first and said Bear was healthy enough for anesthesia. He ended up needing 3 extractions. The total was around $350. The checkout call was thorough — they explained exactly which teeth came out, showed me the dental X-rays on the phone, and gave clear aftercare instructions. Bear was eating normally within two days and seemed years younger.”

Cat With Stomatitis — Full Mouth Extraction

“My cat Luna had severe stomatitis — inflammation so bad she could barely eat. The recommendation was full mouth extraction, which sounds extreme but is actually the best treatment for feline stomatitis. The quote from a dental specialist in San Diego was $3,500. Through CBX, it was under $1,000.”

“Luna had all her teeth removed except the canines. The recovery took about two weeks of soft food. Now she eats dry kibble just fine (cats adapt amazingly well with no teeth) and for the first time in over a year, she is not in pain. She is playing, purring, and eating like a kitten again. The savings meant I could follow through on treatment that I might have kept postponing otherwise.”

German Shepherd — Bilateral TPLO

“Our 5-year-old German Shepherd Max tore his left CCL running at the dog park. The orthopedic surgeon in San Diego quoted $5,800 for TPLO, and warned us the other knee had a 50% chance of going too. We could not face the possibility of paying $12,000 for two knee surgeries.”

“CBX did the first TPLO for $1,100. Recovery went exactly as described — restricted activity for 8 weeks, then gradual return to walks. At 12 weeks he was back to normal. Then, sure enough, 4 months later the right knee went. The second TPLO was another $1,100. Total for both knees: $2,200 instead of $11,600. Max is now 6, running like a puppy, and both knees are solid. The post-op X-rays showed perfect plate positioning.”

French Bulldog — Mast Cell Tumor Removal

“Our Frenchie Gus had a lump on his side that turned out to be a Grade II mast cell tumor. The surgical oncologist in San Diego quoted $3,200 for wide excision with histopathology. Through CBX, the same surgery was $650. The histopathology came back with clean margins — Grade II, completely excised. It has been 14 months and no recurrence.”

Mixed Breed — Multiple Lipoma Removal

“My 10-year-old mixed breed Rosie had five lipomas — three small ones and two larger ones that were starting to limit her leg movement. My vet wanted to remove all five but quoted $4,500 because of the number and the anesthesia time. CBX removed all five in one session for about $800. Rosie is moving much better now and the incisions all healed beautifully.”

— Based on real client experience. Mixed breed, multiple lipoma removal in single session.

Dachshund With IVDD — MRI Leading to Surgery

“Our dachshund Fritz suddenly could not use his back legs. Our vet suspected IVDD and said he needed an MRI to locate the disc herniation before surgery. The MRI quote in San Diego was $3,800. The neurologist said without MRI, surgery would be exploratory and less precise.”

“CBX did the MRI for $550 and the surgeon was able to see exactly which disc was herniated. They offered same-day surgery since Fritz was already under anesthesia. We approved it over the phone during the check-in call. MRI plus decompressive surgery totaled about $1,800. Fritz started regaining movement within a week and was walking again at three weeks. The MRI through CBX literally saved our dog’s quality of life and saved us over $6,000.”

Boxer With Seizures — Brain MRI

“When our boxer started having seizures at age 6, the neurologist recommended a brain MRI to rule out a tumor. The MRI quote was $3,200 at the specialty hospital in San Diego. Through CBX, the brain MRI was $600. The scan showed no tumor — the diagnosis was idiopathic epilepsy, which is manageable with medication. Knowing it was not a brain tumor gave us enormous relief, and we were able to get that answer for a fraction of the expected cost.”

First-Time Client — Nervous But Relieved

“I will be honest — I was nervous. Sending my dog across the border with someone I had never met felt like a huge leap of faith. But the coordinator was so professional and organized that my nerves settled quickly. The two phone calls made all the difference. Hearing the vet’s voice, asking my questions, and then getting the detailed results afterward — it felt like I was involved in the process even though I was sitting in a Walmart parking lot.”

“I have now used CBX three times — a dental, a lump removal, and an ultrasound. Every time has been smooth. I recommend them to every pet owner I know.”

— Based on real client experience. Multiple procedures over 18 months.

Multi-Pet Household — Three Dogs, One Day

“We have three dogs who all needed dental cleanings. Getting quotes in San Diego was depressing — $3,600-$4,200 for all three. CBX did all three in one day for about $700 total (one dog needed two extractions). The coordinator was incredibly organized managing three dogs at once. We dropped off at 7:30 AM in National City and picked up all three by 3 PM. All three dogs were fine by the next morning. Saving over $3,000 in a single day changed my perspective completely.”

— Based on real client experience. Three-dog household, simultaneous dental cleanings.

From Skeptic to Advocate

“My husband thought I was crazy when I told him I wanted to send our dog to Tijuana for surgery. He was convinced the care would be subpar. After getting the estimate, researching the process, and talking to the coordinator, he agreed to try it for a dental cleaning first — a lower-stakes test run. The experience was flawless. Now he is the one telling his coworkers about CBX Pet Care. We have since done a tumor removal through CBX and the result was excellent.”

— Based on real client experience. Skeptical spouse converted after dental cleaning, followed by tumor removal.
