How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Hawthorne Veterinary Clinic

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

I have been a customer since Dr Judd. now Dr Wagner has done a very good job with her meticulous, accurate, caring and efficient way of handling my pet. My cat Luna had recurring UTIs every 6 months and required thyroid surgery. Thank you Dr Conny and all your staff for giving me more time to enjoy my pet. She's almost 16 and still healthy.

I took my dog to see Dr. Connor today and she was extremely helpful. She did acupuncture on my little girl, a through exam and was very polite and cordial. Zeba was very comfortable with her and actually took treats from her, which is rare. I am confident my Zeba is in good hands. The entire staff is super nice, from Jazmin to everyone else. Thank you for taking care of us! See you all soon!

During my nearly 8 years in Portland I brought my 2 cats to a few different vets. Hawthorne Vet was the last one - no need for me to search anymore. Both my cats were patients at Hawthorne for more than 7 years and I don't think there is a better vet in Portland. Dr. Wagner's holistic approach to pet care is exactly what I wanted for my girls and what they needed. In addition, she was kind, patient, and extremely helpful when I decided to move abroad with my cats. She worked directly with the appropriate people and organizations (USDA) to ensure I had all the paperwork needed for my cats to enter a foreign country with no issues. My only complaint: I couldn't bring Dr. Wagner with me to my new home country!!

I've gone to many vets in and around Portland for many pets over the last 20 years and I've been consistently impressed with Dr. Wagner and her team at Hawthorne Vet over the last few months. They are very attentive, responsive, and communicative and have helped us learn to manage our kitty Rowan's asthma. We had already taken him to our primary vet and a specialist many times and paid thousands of $$ with no noticeable improvement. Dr. Wagner figured out an approach that combined traditional and holistic medicine and he's responding well. I also really appreciate their commitment to inclusivity here. I would highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Wagner was very helpful with getting our Frenchie healthy. Her use of holistic options as well as typical vet meds was amazing. Highly recommend Dr, Wagner and her staff.
