How to Save Money at King's Veterinary 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.

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.

King’s Veterinary Clinic is a top-notch facility for all your vet needs! I truly love the friendliness of the staff and the clean office atmosphere. The location is super easy to find, there’s a good amount of parking and they do have walk-in appointments available. Scheduling is also convenient and easy.

I’ve been to a few vet clinics in the area of Spokane, but King’s has the friendliest staff of them all! They are kind and patient with all of my questions, and the vet himself is very good at explaining what’s happening and listening to concerns! Surgery sites healed well for spay and dental work came out very nicely! Recommend over and over again! :)

They are always so caring and patient. We never feel like we have been rushed when Dr Barry comes in. He takes time with our animals and we feel they get the best care here!

Two years ago, I had a phenomenal experience, but this year it was aweful, unfortunately. Went in suspecting Sarcoptic mange and ear mites for several reasons. My dog growled at vet, and he took her from me and was unneccarily aggressive with her, rather than letting me get down on the floor with her to subdue. Immediately said allergies. Did not examine ear. "She scratched it." Next time I visited, he was aggressive again, not allowing me to get her on her back for him calmly, so he didn't get a good look. Made me extremely uncomfortable overall. My instincts kept thinking mange. Put her on expensive allergy medication. Next thing I know, I am covered in horribly itchy bumps from wrists to elbows. Now both of her ears are full of smelly brown goo typical of mites-so they spread too. I didn't see a reason to NOT treat for mange (classic symptoms) as a precaution, or put a scope in her ear. $400 later and she is losing fur again in spite of meds, and I guess I have to get some Nexgard??? I do not know how to treat this-I just know I paid $400 for someone not allowing me to handle my own dog for a positive experience, very rushed, dismissive, jump to conclusions, and now the problem is worse. Other staff was great, but the new fellow she saw has me too uncomfortable to go back.

There was a misunderstanding with the vet and he assumed medical information about my dog. When I spoke to him about it, he was extremely rude and tried to blame the entire situation on me when he himself said he assumed wrong. Will never go back and highly suggest you take your fur babies somewhere else where the vet actually cares about your dogs well being and less about his ego.
