How to Save Money at Washington Veterinary 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.

Not sure what's going on. My husband swore by them. Our dog had been several times over the past year plus. She kept injuring her front leg. We were told she's old, arthritis, give her an anti inflammatory pill. She'd be ok. Injure herself and limp again. And again. I understand misdiagnosis, however, no other tests were done. The last time,were told to make her rest her leg. Had a friend take her while on vacation. 2 days later, she had to be put down. Bone cancer. All through. While that was all kinds of awful, the response from the doctor's office was more awful. We called to ask not to send visit med reminders . The woman asked why. We said because she had cancer, you missed it. She had to be put down. The girl simply says ok. No sorry, no nothing. Again, nothing to do for cancer, but jeez a little compassion, maybe a little more testing to begin with. I'm still so disappointed. So dismayed by the lack of basic compassion.

I’ve been very happy taking my dogs to Dr. Stoltz. He is knowledgeable and answers any questions I have. I appreciate the hours of operation and they allow you to send pictures through email to answer questions without having to bring your pet in for an appointment, if it’s something minor. The staff is friendly and they are always sweet to my furbabies. Having graduated with a pre-vet BS degree myself, I feel confident in this veterinary office. Thank you!
