How to Save Money at Shoreline 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.

Dr. Sharon Peery is an exceptionally skilled veterinarian. We especially appreciate her pragmatic and thoughtful approach to help us make great quality of life decisions on behalf of our aging kitties. Her staff is always very accessible, responsive and kind with our follow-up questions or concerns regarding aftercare.

Dr. Wilson has been my vet for many years and hands down, one of the kindest and smartest Dr's I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She truly cares about each and every animal she treats and just as much about the owners. When it comes to treatment or treatment plan, I love the way she provides detailed options and it really feels more like a partnership. She spends all the time needed weighing options and talking things through to ensure I am well informed to make the decisions for their highest and best care. (Did I say she's super smart??) :) She just has a special way with her furry friends and is always calm and patient. The staff at Shoreline has been just as great! they are all extremely helpful, kind, responsive and when there is a sense of urgency- they are on it. I absolutely know my animals receive the best care here with Dr. Wilson and staff and I would never just take them anywhere to be seen by just anyone. ♡♡ I am a very grateful dog and cat mama!

I had an amazing experience taking my cat to this vet for a dental cleaning recently. Dr. Sharon Reighn-Peery walked me through (in person) what will be done to my cat and I felt comfortable that they let me stand in the examination room with them and my cat which likely made him feel safer. On the dental cleaning day they gave me a full rundown on what happened and how my cat recovered throughout the day. Kyle was very thorough showing me the X-rays and answered all my questions. Love this place and it’s a huge contrast to what I’m used to in Seattle

They handled the care of my late dog and her cancer with grace and conservative care options. I continue care with my younger dog, as well as other family dogs as we trust her and all she has to offer. The support staff is also very kind and understanding of my reactive dog which is very helpful to reduce stress of being at the vet.
