How to Save Money at BarburVet

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 love BarburVet and all of their staff. Natalie is always very kind and accommodating over the phone, and my pets LOVE Dr. Alexandra. It is very difficult to find someone knowledgeable about bunnies in the area and years ago, Dr. Alexandra helped my bunny recover from stage 4 pneumonia, and another bunny with GI issues! The bunnies will be 7 this fall. I brought my new puppy to Dr. Alexandra and and she was all tail wags because they made a happy positive environment from start to finish. If you care about keeping your pet happy and healthy, I recommend BarburVet!

New fear-free procedures did wonders for my dog! We’ve been going here for over 4 years and we love it here. Of course my dog has always been a little nervous even though everyone is so nice, but this last visit for a couple vaccines went so smoothly! Xan took the time to get my dog comfortable and relaxed before giving the shots and it was amazing. I’m so happy my dog is a patient here and would recommend this vet to anyone!

Friendly staff, genuinely caring to give my cherished pup the most comfortable experience possible. Has been a great experience for problem solving to solve some dietary sensitivities.

Went in for an international health certificate, which we were assured they could help with, and had a horrible experience. (Ended up going to another clinic we found online that didn't require a third party's help--*update, not actually somewhere we were referred.) * Misinformed vet with poor people skills (Didn't allow pet owners to speak, nor was she willing to listen. Insisted that Turkey was an EU country, even when both owners informed her otherwise. 🤣) * Didn't prepare for the visit properly and had to reschedule us for another trip, causing our pet extra, unnecessary stress. If you are not experienced (yes, we know you sent a pet to Australia once...), you should have told us to go elsewhere from the beginning rather than assuring us you could help--the PDX metro area is huge, so you didn't have to waste our time. * Very welcoming staff, so it's unfortunate to have a vet that treats people terribly * Did waive part of the fee, but I guess that's what you do when a vet is incapable of doing their job because they are "stressed" Overall do not recommend...

They wanted to charge $920 for the microchip and neuter for my very healthy (no health issues, weighs 11 lbs) 6 month-old Chiwanee they’ve been seeing the past 5 months. I questioned the outrageous amount, and they said they’d pass my email on to the owner/vet, but never heard back. I ended up calling two other animal clinics in the area and they both quoted less than half the amount. When you do this, not only you’d lose the business but your credibility also…. I had signed up for their $40/month wellness program (?) also hoping to establish a long term relationship, but I don’t think I will renew it. Can’t even cancel it till one year is up. Disappointed. Staff were always friendly though.
