How to Save Money at VCA Bellevue 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.

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.

Highly recommend the grooming services. Harrison does a good job with my Samoyed’s double coated groom. Have had several grooms at this place. Prices fairly for quality of work. This location is close near me in Bellevue Washington & very close to Redmond Washington. Definitely the best groomer in Bellevue & Redmond area. Clean facilities & nice haircut / scissor work. Very happy with the service.

The BEST groomer we have been to in Washington state. Harrison is AMAZING and does such an incredible job with our dog. I am extremely selective when it comes to groomers, and have tried so many places both in Bellevue and Seattle. Harrison tops them all. You do not need to be a patient of VCA to see Harrison here (although the VCA staff are also amazing). Harrison takes the time to really get to know you and your dog and will deliver the not only the best groom, but also makes the experience as easy and relaxing on your dog as possible. My dog was so stressed by groomers, and since seeing Harrison, gets better and better each time. This dog groomer is the best kept secret in Bellevue.

Like most my dog is my baby and I'm stupidly over protective. It had been done time since I had taken him in and needed to find a vet in Bellevue. After checking out reviews I found VCA and I'm so glad. Everyone was so great! I find myself saying that customer service is a dying breed just because so many people clearly don't care anymore. The staff made a point to make me feel welcome and gave so much love to my pup. Thank you all!!

Nails! Finally found someone who can clip my dog's nails. We had been everywhere but Debo wouldn't let anyone touch his nails. Harrison is fantastic- has established a rapport and has had success with 2 visits. Thanks Harrison!!

I've only been in a handful of times for general check ups/vaccines but this staff is so wonderful! My dog Theo adores coming and they treated him so sweet, and remember him even though we've only been in a few times. Our first time we went in because of allergies and they helped him out quickly and were super clear with me on what was going on. I also brought my cat in, who lost her mind and was absolutely a nut, and they were so kind and understanding and helped me get her in a carrier and sent me home with steps to make her next visit more productive. Absolute sweeties, and they texted to check back in on Theo's progress!
