How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Veterinary Cancer & Surgery Specialists
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
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Dr. Wooldridge, Danielle, and the ladies at the front desk are fantastic at what they do. Dr. Wooldridge and Danielle took such great care of our sweet Cocoa. I appreciate the care and all the follow-ups with Cocoa. We feel that she is in the best hands with what we are dealing with. Thank you for allowing me to set up in the waiting room while I waited for Cocoa. When your pet is sick, I highly recommend this team of doctors and staff.

The time this clinic gave me with my baby who had terminal large cell lymphoma was invaluable. They went above and beyond from the very start and turned a terrifying, sudden diagnosis into something we could handle on our own terms. Dr. Kang and Dr. Freeman took the time to reassure me and talk me through some of the hardest times of her diagnosis, particularly when she came out of remission and during times when I stressed over the financial aspect of it. I am truly blessed for being given the chance by this clinic to give Heidi as peaceful and comfortable of and end of life as we did. I received the time I needed to come to terms with losing someone so important to me, and never once doubted she was in amazing hands. It brought me so much joy to see how the staff interacted with my baby as well, knowing that she was loved in every step of her cancer journey made it all the more significant. Thank you for everything that you do, for how hard you work and for the effort you put in for each of your patients despite working in what I’m sure is such a difficult field. Pictured is my baby and the urn I got painted in her likeness.

This past summer, our regular vet found a small tumor in the mouth of our sweet senior golden retriever and referred us to VCSS. It turned out that it was oral melanoma. All the doctors (Kang, Freeman, and Wooldridge) and the entire staff were always so kind and patient with all of our questions, but importantly, they were also straightforward and direct in delivering information and managing our expectations. With the expert guidance of the VCSS doctors, we feel good about the treatment options we chose for our beloved boy; they provided stellar care. We are so grateful to have spent another Christmas with our furbaby and are hopeful he will see his 9th birthday this April--happy and goofy as ever. Photo for the dog tax attached :)

I am a Veterinarian practicing in the Willamette Valley. I have a patient and client that needed a second opinion. From my first chat with the receptionist to my consult with Dr DiBernardi, I have been nothing but impressed. Everyone was kind and very professional. And, they were able to deal with my client's concerns in a very timely manner. I will definitely use your services again. Thank you. 😻 Martha Rideout, DVM
