How to Save Money at Pendleton 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.

Great staff, pretty average wait times but Love the doggy toy bin that my pup took full advantage of to reduce boredom and anxiety. Also appreciate the availability of after hours emergency service at this clinic.

Tried to schedule an appointment all day without it happening going in person waiting for a call back all day. and calling and being put on hold one for 10 minutes being forgotten about. Calling back they wanted to put me on hold again immediately. Went in person at the end of it all and will never be going back. Due to the lack of consideration of my work schedule and time. And the lady I dealt saying we don’t want to deal with you after I had tried my very best to be calm and collected thru it all. I just said I can see by the way you handled the situation that this is not going to work and walked away.

So this one is hard, because I have had great experiences with all the vets there until our last visit. Our pup had an ear infection in one ear and a yeast infection in the other. Our usual vet was busy so we chose to see a different vet because getting him seen sooner was important. Although the vet did diagnose him and medicate him appropriately. Her opinions on cropping and docking, made our appointment very uncomfortable. The very first statement was that I needed to take him to the vet that cropped his ears. Well first off we weren't there for anything concerning his cropped ears we were there simply for a diagnosis and meds for his ear infection and yeast infection. Also the breeder had his ears done and the vet is many hours away. I also shouldn't have to defend my choices on my pet's. I love my critters and absolutely want what's best for them. Our vet closed in Milton Freewater and so we moved to the Pendleton vet.

They saved my little kittens life ❤️ she had her jaw broken in 2 different places at about 8 weeks old and they were able to help her. I am so grateful! Such nice people!

Went in to get dewormer for my dog. They took a parvo test for him that I didn’t ask for and had to pay $150 for something I didn’t even ask them to do and then they don’t realize the walls there are thin meaning you can hear every mean thing they are saying. Would not recommend they don’t do payments so if you don’t have a few hundred to a thousand dollars in your bank I would recommend going somewhere that is more understanding and willing to work with your budget for your fur family
