How to Save Money at Umpqua Small Animal 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.

My dog was taken in after being hit by a car by an ex. She is chipped to me, they never scanned her or tried to make contact with me. I have had my dog Shatzi since she was 7 1/2 weeks old, she will be 3 in April. This is a before and after of her picture. The office did not want to give me her paperwork for when she was brought in or the reason why my dogs tail was cut off by them, Beth, could not answer my questions and said Dr.Nay had her records in the back. Therefore telling me that I could not have my properties record. Yes,I will call her my property. I have been waiting almost a week now on my properties records. I went to Idaho from Oregon to pick her out. , she is a full bred, black German Shepherd, for her to be injured, brought in to a vet, and not to be scanned and notified as the property owner, and denied paperwork. That is obstruction. That office will never live up to Bailey vetrinary. In all the phone calls I made to this office they never once told me a follow up for my property.

Sad that they are closing, Dr Day and his staff are professional and courteous. Other vets want to drug my dogs for nail trims but the staff here knows animals and can get the nails trimmed without any sedation involved. Sad to see them go

I have never had a bad experience at this clinic. The staff is kind and dependable and Dr.David Nay is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and gentle. Beth Wright, the vet assistant, has a compassion for animals that knows no bounds. She is the golden heart of that establishment. They are my #1 choice for a veterinarian in Douglas County.

We were camping in canyonville when our elderly doberman took a turn for the worse. Such a hard thing to have to put a pet down but then to have it be spur of the moment and find someone in an unfamiliar area is beyond stressful. They were so kind to get us in even though Dr. nay was scheduled to be out early that day he stayed so we could bring him in. My dog was so calm and not nervous at all when we were there and as hard as it was to say goodbye it was actually very calm and peaceful. Can’t thank them all enough.
