How to Save Money at Corvallis 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.

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.

Dr. Gross and his team are a caring, professional, and empathetic team who I trust with my dog. They are happy to discuss any and all concerns or worries you have as a pet owner, and have helped me when my dog was injured and needed care, as well as when we had our dog neutered. They consistently go above and beyond to help us care for our dog, and have created a caring environment for their patients at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a competent and kind team to care for their beloved pet.

The staff at Corvallis Veterinary Hospital are wonderful! Dr. Gross is so good with our animals and is a very caring professional. The technicians and other staff members are very knowledgeable and are able to answer many questions without issue. All care price quotes I have received are close to actual costs. Even friends with difficult animals rave about the service. I will use this vet for as long as I live in the area.

It’s been awhile since this encounter but I think of it often and how upsetting it was. My cat unexpectedly got sick out of no where. He was fine one day, the next he was yowling in pain. I took him here and right off the bat felt unwelcome. Before even entering the back room I felt like I was being ridiculed by the front desk lady. Once we got into the back, the main doctor sat there and checked his watch every five minutes, gave my cat a load of drugs, told me my baby would be fine, but that they were closing soon, so he had to send me to the animal er. That’s where I was told almost immediately my cat wouldn’t be making it and I had to spend my final moments with him while he was high out of him mind on the drugs you loaded him up on. The vet at the emergency clinic literally apologized to me for this offices behavior without prompt. She told me that you should have prepared me for this. She told me one look at him and you should’ve known he wouldn’t be okay. You told me he would be fine and this happened all the time and that night I went home without a cat. I hope whatever was taking up your time that night was worth rushing through my kitty baby for, and that you felt some sort of remorse for it afterward. I hope you felt terrible coming into Cold Stone a month later seeing me working, you couldn’t even look me in the eyes. I vowed that night that I wouldn’t ever be bringing an animal to this vet again if I had to. The absolute hot and cold difference between the main vet at this office and the doctors at the animal er was insanity. I’ll be mad about this for years I swear.

Absolutely love this vet. The staff is kind, caring and patient not only to me but towards my dogs when they have appointments. They are informative with any questions or concerns I may have about my pet which I appreciate. Corvallis Veterinary Hospital has always been honest on what my dogs need and don’t need when it comes to certain conditions. Highly recommended!
