How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Viking Veterinary Care
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 have recently moved away from the Portland area and one of the biggest losses for us was leaving Viking. Over the course of the decade we were with Viking, Dr. Gilbert, Dr. Hendricks, and their teams saw all 4 of our fuzz butts, 2 of them through the end of their lives. We have never been more grateful than to have been directed there after several bad experiences elsewhere. The quality of care from start to finish for both us and our pets was top notch. We cannot recommend them highly enough. For the last 5 years we have primarily seen Dr. Hendricks. Her and her techs took the time to get to know our pets and their quirks, including working with our extremely anxious dog and over the course of that relationship earning her trust. They explained everything they were doing and why. And they always stayed within the budgets we had whether it was for routine care or the many old man dog issues. They have set the bar for any future vets we work with. And that's a high bar. We will be forever grateful to the whole Viking team for everything they've done for us. Brandi and Katie with Mooch, Ginger, Geist, and KitKat

@viking_vet this one is for you. Never have I had such trust in a veterinary care team. Viking Veterinary Care team is unparalleled with their level of FEAR FREE environment, comfort, care, and cheese cups. -When you arrive, you comfortably remain in your car until they come get you (I’ve never waited more than a poop&potty for them to come get us). -Wellness check, medical examination, vaccinations ALL done on the ground, seated on a memory foam bed & blanket for comfort, endless cheese cube snacks to distract & reward, naturally calming air infusers, and snuggles galore!!! -Never have I felt pressured or misled or overcharged. -Dr. Rosie is our primary care provider, yet if I need to see/speak to anyone else, the level of care is consistent. -They are reachable by text or email with ability to send photos/videos for assessment of care needs. -No matter how busy their schedule & phones may be, I have never felt a moment of delay or disappointment in response time. Trust me, you want to be a patient of Dr. Rosie and Viking Veterinarian Care team. 🤍🐾🤍

Update: I still love these guys. They were great with my dogs, and made my tiny man absolutely ecstatic over his 5-star treatment. They also worked really well with my anxiety ridden self, and slightly anxious doggo. I still recommend them 100%. After moving to Portland, I struggled to find a vet for my pets. They were recommended to me through a coworker. Although you have to book routine appointments 2-3 months in advance, it's worth it. They've dealt with my demon spawn wonderfully and have never pushed treatments on me. They simply do their exam as gently and fear free as possible, and give you a list of recommendations. They also answered all of my questions and concerns. I'm sure I made them late to their next appointment with all of the questions and add-ons I did to them, but they never seemed frustrated or tried to rush me. 100% will recommend them to others and will continue to use them.

Everyone is very professional and nice. Have a bit of a kiddish cat and she loves them. Staff are attentive to pet needs. Been going here for about a year and everything going smoothly.

I adore everything about Viking. Their stress-free, special-care philosophy makes the experience of going to the vet very calm for our crew. From the music, to the gentle touch, the whole visit is meant to be soothing and gentle for our pets and I love that. We aren't specifically attached to any doctor here because they are all amazing! I'm never disappointed to be scheduled with any of them. All the staff, vet techs, reception are always friendly, fun, kind, and genuine! Besides the amazing care you will find here, the prices for services are extremely affordable. If you aren't able to afford a specific treatment, they will discuss all your options with you to find what works best for both your pocketbook and your pet without the guilt or judgement attached. Vet care can be so expensive, but I always leave feeling like they did right by our fur-balls and by us too! If you are searching for a vet to call home, look no further than Viking!
