How to Save Money at Community 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.

Dr. Crowley and his staff are all around amazing!!! Our little guy has been going here for over a decade. The care he gets is compassionate and thorough. Now in his eldery years, we have had some emergency visits and we always leave with great medical treatment at a fair cost. Thank you to everyone at Community Veterinary!

I have been taking my cats here for years and they are the veterinarian that I recommend to anyone looking. The staff are kind and curious. The doctors are accessible and knowledgeable. I tend to use humor in difficult situations. When I was given the worst news about my cat’s liver and my immediate response was to look at my cat and say, “I told you that you needed to get your drinking under control.” I really caught Dr. Crowley off guard but he is a consummate professional and went right back to offering my cat the best care. I am also an absent minded person and the staff have found ways to accommodate my cats’ needs regardless. I’m not recommending that you should be absentminded like myself. Believe me, I put a reminder in my phone to schedule physicals. If I forget to do that, they mail you a reminder several months before they are due. I wish I could pack this clinic up and bring it to Portland with me when I move. 11 out of 10, bring your animal here.

I have been taking my dog here for years and have always had a great experience. The staff is incredible, they are so kind. I was especially grateful for the staff when I had to go through euthanasia with my dog. They were all truly angels throughout the process.

Really cannot overstate what this place has meant to me and my dog. I've been coming here since i first rescued him in 2011. He has never felt anxious or apprehensive there. I think that speaks to how he's been treated. As my dog gets older, I'm in the clinic almost weekly. The staff are so kind and patient. All the vets are top notch as well. Thank you guys for making duke's time with you so easy.

They work with you, friendly, and were not expensive. You must call before you go in, but you aren’t waiting outside for a long time. They bring you in right away. They also listen to you and your pet. My dog was scared but she warmed up to them quickly and was begging for pets by the end of the visit.
