How to Save Money at The Barn Door Veterinary Care
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.

Best vet clinic in town. All of the staff and techs here are fantastic - patient, caring, knowledgeable and accommodating. Dr. David was wonderful, very informative and gentle. The force free / fear free approach makes a huge difference. My fearful boy who has had some bad vet experiences in the past literally pulls on the leash to come in and see the staff here. Thank you Barn Door team!

We have given our vet a run for their money and nerves since moving to Westwood. They've been very caring for both our pets and us. 10/10 would recommend Dr.David and Dr.Inna They really care and Dr.Inna has gone out of her way more than once for us and our fur children.

Dr. Ina & Dr. David are two of the warmest & kind vets I have ever met in 25+yrs of owning multiple dogs. They were extremely supportive of the palliative care & treatment of my beautiful rescue Malinois and ensured that her last months were in relative comfort. I found they were open-minded and truly listened to my concerns, suggested treatments without being pushy and were completely ego-free. I live in Vancouver and though it is a bit of a trek, I will be switching vets and taking my other dog to this clinic. In this world of corporate VCA-run veterinary hospitals, independent vets are hard to come by and GOOD, independent vets are worth their weight in gold. I cannot recommend Barn Door Veterinary Care enough.

I had to find a new clinic when my long time veterinarian retired. I went through a few really bad ones until finding Barn Door Veterinarian Clinic and Dr. Ina. Everyone I dealt with from making the appointment to bringing my pet in was so friendly and helpful. They also have a pharmacy onsite which makes it easy to bring your pet in for their appointment and walk out with everything you need in one visit. Also, Dr. Ena is amazing,! You can tell that she cares for her patients and has nothing but the best in mind when taking care of them. I highly recommend this clinic if you want people who will do their best to care for your pets.

You will find thee BEST vets here. Dr. Ina and Dr. David are the 2/3 I've seen the most, but Dr. Kuan is a gem as well. Due to my dog's anxiety, they will actually treat her in our home, which happens to be a van. Who does that?? I completely trust the doctors and their wonderful team with my fur girl. If you have a pet, this is the place for you! Thank you, Barn Door!
