How to Save on Veterinary Costs at BarburVet
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.

We love BarburVet and all of their staff. Natalie is always very kind and accommodating over the phone, and my pets LOVE Dr. Alexandra. It is very difficult to find someone knowledgeable about bunnies in the area and years ago, Dr. Alexandra helped my bunny recover from stage 4 pneumonia, and another bunny with GI issues! The bunnies will be 7 this fall. I brought my new puppy to Dr. Alexandra and and she was all tail wags because they made a happy positive environment from start to finish. If you care about keeping your pet happy and healthy, I recommend BarburVet!

New fear-free procedures did wonders for my dog! We’ve been going here for over 4 years and we love it here. Of course my dog has always been a little nervous even though everyone is so nice, but this last visit for a couple vaccines went so smoothly! Xan took the time to get my dog comfortable and relaxed before giving the shots and it was amazing. I’m so happy my dog is a patient here and would recommend this vet to anyone!

Friendly staff, genuinely caring to give my cherished pup the most comfortable experience possible. Has been a great experience for problem solving to solve some dietary sensitivities.

Went in for an international health certificate, which we were assured they could help with, and had a horrible experience. (Ended up going to another clinic we found online that didn't require a third party's help--*update, not actually somewhere we were referred.) * Misinformed vet with poor people skills (Didn't allow pet owners to speak, nor was she willing to listen. Insisted that Turkey was an EU country, even when both owners informed her otherwise. 🤣) * Didn't prepare for the visit properly and had to reschedule us for another trip, causing our pet extra, unnecessary stress. If you are not experienced (yes, we know you sent a pet to Australia once...), you should have told us to go elsewhere from the beginning rather than assuring us you could help--the PDX metro area is huge, so you didn't have to waste our time. * Very welcoming staff, so it's unfortunate to have a vet that treats people terribly * Did waive part of the fee, but I guess that's what you do when a vet is incapable of doing their job because they are "stressed" Overall do not recommend...

They wanted to charge $920 for the microchip and neuter for my very healthy (no health issues, weighs 11 lbs) 6 month-old Chiwanee they’ve been seeing the past 5 months. I questioned the outrageous amount, and they said they’d pass my email on to the owner/vet, but never heard back. I ended up calling two other animal clinics in the area and they both quoted less than half the amount. When you do this, not only you’d lose the business but your credibility also…. I had signed up for their $40/month wellness program (?) also hoping to establish a long term relationship, but I don’t think I will renew it. Can’t even cancel it till one year is up. Disappointed. Staff were always friendly though.
