How to Save Money at Washington Animal 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.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this vet, not accommodating at all and really don't seem to care about animals. On two separate occasions, one to have to do end of life services and another to try to help our donkey with a hurt leg they would not come out to see them and wanted us to try to somehow trailer the hurt donkey and bring him to them. Just because we hadn't been in to see them before. where is the concern for the animal. I do know people that use them and they make house calls for them so it must be more about the money than the animal.

My dog was taken here after he his femur was broken while being watched by a negligent eye. They inserted a rod and wrapped a wire around the bone to the metal rod. Any other experienced vet would have inserted plates and screws. After the surgery they did not prescribe any sedatives for my dog who is an 8 month old border collie with more energy than he knows what to do with. Almost every other week, I took my dog in because he was not progressing at all. I was told time and time again he was getting better even though he showed 0 signs of it. On an x ray, you could see the rod had shifted upwards but Dr. Wunderlich was not worried about the rods movement. Two weeks later that rod moved so much that it cut through the skin and was poking out of my dogs leg. The rod looked as if it had been cut by wire cutters and was incredibly sharp. I was told by Dr. Wunderlich to let the rod stick out and not cover the hole that extends down into my dogs leg. If you have zero care for your animals take them here because they sure as heck don’t care about them either. It’s not their fault, they just went to get school back with the dinosaurs and haven’t updated their practices since the cave man walked the planet. My new vet said Dr. Barry and Dr. Wunderlich should loose their license for the way they handled my dog’s injury and I 100% agree.

Friendly people. Helped us care for our rabbit as he was at the end of his life. Conveniently located off 36 not far from where we live. We'll return with our other pets.

My elder dog Stella was attacked by two dogs around 7:00 pm on 3-17-22. Our family vet was unavailable but suggested Washington Animal Clinic. I called, told them I’d be there in 45 minutes. Upon our arrival they were set up and ready to care for my Stella. Dr. Wunderlich and Rhonda were very professional, kind and took the most amazing care of Stella. She is now home, resting and healing! Thank Y’all ❤️This is a pic of Stella after returning home.
