How to Save Money at Breton Village Animal Clinic

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.

Getting 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.

We’ve entrusted the care of our cats and dogs to this clinic for years. They are responsive and truly care for the animals. I like the fact that they have a conservative approach to care and recommend but don’t insist upon sometimes expensive preventative care. We saw Dr. Godfrey and Jeremy today and both are excellent. Explained carefully and were gentle with our small cat.

The Cascade Animal Hospital at Breton Village staff were great with our dog, and they explained everything very clearly. The office was very clean and welcoming.

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Prices for some exams and tests are a bit higher so you need to be a little careful. The association with the Cascade hospital for animals makes any extra cost worthwhile in case there's ever an emergency. Four stars because of the pricing.

Taking one of kitties to the vet for possible UTI. We have never used BVAC before but I can for sure say we will be for now on. The staff sold me when I observed them with other customers and their pets. Amazing amazing amazing. Kind, caring, actually showing that they care about your pet. It does one’s heart good.

Dr. Navleen Dhaliwal is a wonderful veterinarian. As a curious person, I appreciated how she talked us through our dog's X-rays so we understood what was going on. She was also transparent in pricing, which was very helpful because we had no surprises with our bill. My husband and I felt just as taken care of as our dog.
