How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VCA Hillsboro Animal Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

The whole team here is wonderful. It’s never easy to say goodbye to a loved furry friend, but they make it as comfortable as possible here. I appreciate the support and kindness that was shown to me from everyone here. Thank you all for making a terrible experience a little more tolerable. Shout out to Jan for working with me and my schedule, and getting me in asap, much appreciated.

Today we brought our elderly cat, Bailey in to this practice, and were truly blown away. Bailey has been having health issues, and we didn’t know what to expect when we brought him in. Elissa, our vet tech, went above and beyond listening to us, answering our questions, and being so sweet and gentle with our kitty. Dr. French made us feel so much better about Bailey’s health; she was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly explained all of our options and walked us through our cat’s treatment plan. We left feeling relieved and like we had a solid plan to get Bailey feeling better. Also, we were shown pricing for everything that Dr. French recommended for Bailey before they proceeded with anything. We had the opportunity to ask questions and pick and choose what services we wanted for our cat which we really appreciated. I’m grateful we found a vet we trust and feel comfortable with as we have 2 other pets at home. Also it was very cute to see our cat’s name up on the wall in reception when we walked in, along with all of the other pets that had an appointment the same day (see photo). Thank you again Elissa and Dr. French!

I took my dog Thor here when we first moved into the neighborhood. My dog is 165 pound Mastiff mix. My first appointment was not the greatest. When I walked in the door I had my dog on a leash like your supposed to and around the counter comes walking a pitt bull. I was told, dont worry he's the clinic dog. Until he got close to my dog and they werent having it. The clinic dog snapped at my dog. Luckily the only thing that happend was he nipped my dog on the nose. The clinic said nothing. Like it was my fault. No apology, no conceen, nothing. I decided to stick with the clinic cause its close to the house. Since that appointment I had to take him in cause hes older and has joint problems. They perscribed rivera which has been helping him walk better. Now they want me to bring him in just so they can renew his rivera. Charge their redicoulus fees just to see him walk across their floor. They dont care about the dog they just care about the money. In the end the outcome is the same. I take him in, they collect their fee, and renew his rivera. I will be taking my dog elsewhere.

My wife and I have been bringing our 3 year old chihuahua-mix to this practice for quite some time; we've never had a negative experience and always leave this facility in a good mood. Our dog struggles with anxiety and tends to be a bit dramatic when she's upset - the staff is patient with our pup, yet efficient in treating her as painlessly as possible (for all parties involved). Shoutout to Kristi, the best vet technician out there! Our pup absolutely adores this woman, and she (the dog) generally doesn't trust unfamiliar people, ever. Also, Dr. Pisano is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. My wife always has a ridiculous number of questions she could answer with a Google search, but Dr. Pisano is always personable and answers thoroughly. The staff always reviews the cost of everything before proceeding with treatment, so we are never surprised when we get to the register. They have always been honest with us, even if that means a lesser profit for the clinic. We'd enthusiastically recommend this practice to anybody who is looking for honest quality care for their pets!
