How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Parkrose 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
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.

I had a very shy kitty, and Dr. Holmgren came to my apartment to treat her. Thank you, Dr. Holmgren. You truly have gentle hands and a warm heart. You are a very special person, and an excellent veterinarian. I really like that you use minimally invasive treatments whenever possible.

Dr. Holmgren is the very best! We first got to know him in 1989 when we adopted our first pet from MCAS. We moved 45 minutes away a week later and continued care here for several years. When our cat got in a weekend fight, we began seeing another vet nearer our home. Bad mistake on our part as that other vet was not a gentle, experienced vet like Dr. H. Dr. Holmgren has the most caring, gentle spirit we've ever met. He has been there through the joys of adopting 8 kittens/cats and lovingly and gently helped us say goodbye to 3 aged cats who got cancer. Dr. Holmgren and his wife are so dear to my family both the pets and the humans! He truly is a rare gem of a guy and a veterinarian! Wish we could give him more than 5 stars!

Excellent Vet and care from Parkrose Veterinary Clinic! I first met Dr. Holmgren when I rescued a dog from the street. He identified the breed, gave her shots and a checkup, and noted that my small place was not a good place for a large, extremely active and fast dog. With no owner ever coming forward, I found her an extraordinary home on over 100 acres where she runs like the wind every day and is happy with her new older buddy, which she plays with all day. My tiny rescue feral kitty needing fixing recently. At a previous vet in Vancouver, they had opened the carrier - though I told them she was wild and would try to escape - without any caution and she escaped. Took them almost an hour to round her up - and this from a clinic on an extremely busy highway. The vet told me and thought I was "kidding" about what she would do...and then laughed about it. I didn't find it funny at all. Dr. Holmgren knew her circumstances and had me stay in the room while he opened the carrier from the top in a closed room. He said this would not scare her as much as opening the front and reaching in to grab her. She got a thorough checkup and gave me advice. Then, she got her first anesthetic with me there, then off to surgery. At all times, the doors were closed and they were careful. You can imagine how nervous I was. They called when she was through the operation and safely in a cage and told me when I could pick her up. They told me how to care for her and what to do and not do. So unlike the other clinic. She is doing great and I'm so thankful for their care and attention to my fur babies.

Amazing Vet!! Have taken all of my animals to him and he is so patient, knowledgeable, and doesn’t charge you for things your pet doesn’t need. Moved out of state and wish I could find a vet like him again.

Dr. Holgrem is the best. A very kind and “old school” veterinarian. I have a rescue hound who is very weary of meeting new men and she’s super comfortable with him. If you have a nervous or shy dog this vet is perfect. Unlike other clinics there’s no yapping dogs in the back and it’s not full of nervous energy. You feel like you’re just walking into someone’s quiet home. 😊
