How to Save Money at Northwest Veterinary Hospital
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.
Reviews from Google
We absolutely love everyone at the NW Veterinary. They are great listeners and work with you for the best treatment for your pets. They breakdown everything ahead of time and work with you to come up with a plan that is comfortable for your budget as well. I really appreciated that, as vet services Can be expensive. We bring both of our huskies here and have been for the last three years. One of our huskies has very bad allergies and anxiety.

Recommended to me by a friend. This place is close by and everyone here including the veterinarian is sooooo nice. They care about my pets and recommend things without sales pressure like if u can’t afford it all but can come back the items are on the forms. Thanks for seeing my doggie on the quick! 🖤♥️

I was desperate to be seen by a vet due to an infection in my dogs mouth. I called all over town. No one answered their phones. Mind you I am established at 3 other vet offices in town and no one could see me. I was told to go to the ER where the wait was 8 hours just to get into the doors. I walked into this office and they graciously helped my dog. I was not established here. They normally don’t do walk ins and they helped me. Thank you for getting my boy on to the road to recovery. You all treated my boy and my exhausted self so well. I’m so grateful for them. Thank you

Thank you team and Dr.Sukhjeet Riar for saving our baby Roulette! We are very pleased and grateful for all the help .Also,Rebecca was very prompt in sending me paperwork for my insurance.

Riar and his staff are awful at their jobs and I wish I could give this business 0 stars. They have forgotten to send me home with meds for my dog, failed to educate me on at home care, they let my dog sit in her own urine while in a crate without realizing (I was the one who realized it when they brought my dog back in the room) and on multiple occasions have told me that my concerns are invalid. Some of my concerns lead to us finding out (through another reputable vet) that my dog had kidney stones. If you enjoy paying money for them to rush you out of the door in five minutes, while answering none of your questions, then this is the place for you!
