How to Save Money at Oregon Humane Society - Community 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.

They did a great job providing excellent care for both of my fur babies. I first took my youngest cat (1yr old female) to get spayed and microchipped, flea treatment plus parasite treatment. and they did a wonderful job and she had no complications after the surgery! And I recently brought my second cat, my oldest (6 yr old female) to get her vaccine boosters and microchipped and overall health checkup plus sanitary trim (she’s a long haired calico cat and she sometimes gets her poo stuck in her fur and it’s been awhile since she had a sani trim) she did amazing there, she’s usually very scared of vets and going out to any public setting but she did great and the staff and vets treated both of my cats with respect and was gentle and patient with both of them. Which definitely helped in making their experiences way more comfortable. The staff and vets also were very kind and helpful towards me and listened to my concerns and assured me everything would be fine and they were in great hands. I am low income and disabled and I was able to get a low income voucher that I used with my SNAP card and was able to get a very affordable, low priced spay and visits for both of my babies. I will definitely be coming back again in the future! Highly recommend 10/10!

My Grandfather adopted his cat Walley from the humane society a few years ago. He was having some troubles with his last veterinary office and decided to switch over to the Oregon humane society animal hospital for some help. Unfortunately they were not as helpful as expected. They diagnosed Walley with diabetes and prescribed him specialty canned food. They wanted to run some more tests and schedule another appointment. My Granpa missed his appointment because he fell the day before and was sent to the hospital. He asked me to help him and was very worried about Walley running out of food and wanted him to be okay. I stopped by this location in person and asked for some help and let them know the situation. They scheduled us an appointment the next morning and then canceled last minute later that evening and pushed the appointment over a week out. There was no mention about getting him more food whatsoever. I replied back, upset about the situation and also asked to speak with a manager about the fact that his tail issue was not even looked at or diagnosed. I also asked to speak with a manager about the out of place propaganda being displayed in the front of the building. Needless to say, the doctor replied back defending the propaganda and said they no longer want to help Walley. The poor cat was seen by another vet and is infested with fleas and possibly an internal parasite! We are now looking into if walleye even has a medical issue or if his problems are associated from a long term case of fleas and possibly a parasite. It’s a shame that an establishment like this would miss this. My Grandfather is 80 years old and has dementia and can’t properly notice an issue like this. As soon as I saw Walleyes tale I knew there was an issue. Dr. Kochis and this business do not truly care about animals and are unprofessional in the field. I hope other cats don’t get misdiagnosed like Walley was.

We took our 2 rescue cats in for "the works" as they needed shots, licensing, micro chips and exams. We found out quite surprisingly that our eldest Ezzie, was a Male neutered tabby, which we had been calling a girl for the last two years! Ezzie is taking his gender fluidity very well!! 😘 The service was excellent and they were really good with both of my cats! We are so grateful to the Oregon Humane Society for having great vet services! Thank you so much!!

Oh man I can’t speak any higher than this place it was phenomenal. The staff were extremely helpful and kind and just so loving to our poor Eazy!! He was scared and needed stitches!! We are so grateful to the Vet techs and the amazing Dr. That helped us with our boy. He was so well taken care of and seriously have no idea what we would’ve done hadn’t it been for this amazing facility. They offer financial assistance. And that was so helpful during the holiday season and I can’t stress enough how grateful we are to have had the opportunity and honor to receive services here.
