How to Save Money at Emergency Veterinary Clinic of Tualatin
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.

A badly neglected and clearly abused dog that was located in Tigard on Sunday that could barely make it across the street was brought into their facility to be examined and to find out if she was in pain or had any internal injuries. This dog wasn’t lost in a forest or wooded secluded areas she was found in town in a busy area of town at that. My brother in law made the decison to take her in knowing she she may be chipped but regardless if she was then we would think that a reputable veterinary hospital would be very helpful and would help us to make a report to the proper channels taking all of our information as well as all the other people who stopped along the road and have their contact information and their witness information. They took her back and came back out front and told my brother in law that a vet would not be coming out to talk to him because she’s chipped and it’s the law and they took his information and asked him if the owners could contact him if need be. Of course he said yes please. I did my research and typically what should happen is the Washington county animal services is called by the vet a report is made for an investigation and all parties would we contacted for the report to make sure to not be giving an abused neglected dog back to an owner to continue to do so. Or maybe she was so bad they had to euthanize her but regardless my family is beside themselves because we did the right thing so we thought!! We would have payed the vet bill and nursed her back to health and adopted her if that was an option. I called Washington County dog control and no report was made regarding this dog so then tell me this what has happened to her?!?! I want some sort of proof and closure to know for sure the truth as to what they did or didn’t do! Then we called to get to inquire about her we were told she back with her owner they have no strays and no dogs have been euthanized. Really?!?! The lady was rude and played dumb and continued to tell me she as no information about this dog! WTH!!! Just look at the pictures they speak volumes!!!

Two days ago we had to take our beautiful and sweet old dog to this ER Vet. He was 14 years old. We knew it was the day for us to say goodbye to him. He left us quickly. It was tough because he was our perfect dog and a wonderful companion. We were very sad. But everyone at this hospital was amazing and supportive. Thank you to this team for your help and compassion! Our adorable guy lived an incredible life with so many people who loved him.

Brought our dog into this clinic first thing this morning. This used to be our emergency vet of choice. The lady behind the counter barely greeted us and said that there was a minimum 3 hour wait most likely more, she immediately followed it with or you can just go find another place to go. She wasn’t kind, polite or empathetic in any way. She acted as though we were a bother and it would be better if we went somewhere else. We have never been treated so poorly by a vet office. Word of advice, when someone comes in with a beloved pet, how hard would it be to greet someone with a smile or one oz of compassion? We are extremely disappointed in the front desk of this facility and definitely won’t be going back. We headed to Bridgetown emergency vet. Completely different experience. They are professional but kind and welcoming. We will not be going back to Tualatin emergency vet again and wanted you to know the reason why. We’ve heard the rumors before about how much it’s changed from before but saw it first hand and aren’t impressed.

My experience with EVCOT was wonderful. My cat ingested part of a lily plant and needed to be monitored for 12-24 hours, which I knew would be expensive. I ended up here because they were able to provide the same service for less than half the cost of services at BluePearl Animal Hospital in NE Portland, who were also very kind but prohibitively expensive for somebody in my tax bracket. I was quoted $3900 for this service at BluePearl and $1200 at EVCOT. (My experience may have been slightly different as my cat was already triaged/evaluated at BluePearl, so EVCOT was ready to receive her by the time we arrived.) Staff here were extremely kind and attentive; they called me twice to provide updates on my cat. Also, they have free lip balm, which was exactly what I needed after crying my eyes out all night. 🥲 It’s difficult to put a price on your pet’s health, especially during an emergency, but it I was so grateful for EVCOT’s affordable and excellent care last night. I was able to make choices in her best interest, without worrying about draining my savings. Thanks again. ❤️

Today we had to put down our senior cat, Riley Blues, an elegant blue point Himi. The compassion & comfort shown by EVCOT to Riley & to me was exceptional. It’s so difficult to do this, but the caring staff made this a little bit easier. Highly recommend EVCOT.
