How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Pet Doctor
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 would never, never, never go here. A couple years ago I brought my dog in and he was bleeding from his nose and mouth. I sat there at 0830, I went through a whole role of paper towels covered in blood and they wouldn’t see him until 1230 because of ‘appointments’. Unfortunately my dog aspirated, passed away, and I still had to pay for the procedure they likely didn’t do or knew they didn’t have to. (I don’t why I forgot about this place, I honestly thought it was closed so I’m posting this really late)

Prices are high, but overall service was ok. The vet techs were super nice and loving towards my 4 legged baby, the vet .. she was in the room for a total of maybe 3 minutes and not seen again. Overall, a 50$ deposit to make an appointment and another 150$ on the day of for 1 flea pill and 14 days worth of apoquel (I made the appointment for a allergy shot that usually last 3 months) and told I need to come back in 2 weeks. I am positive I won't be returning to this facility.

Unfortunately I should have read the reviews before taking my pet to this place. Beware! They price gouge for ever possible charge that relates to your pet's visit. The estimate I received for a spay was more than 50% of other Vets and they require all the services. In past experience with other Vets some services are optional. Not at this Vet, they are all mandatory. When i saw the price, and was told all services are mandatory, I tried to cancel the appointment, that was 3 weeks away and was told the deposit was nonrefundable and that that notification was captured on tape. They refused to refund my $100 deposit. Caution, Caution, any deposits you pay to to this Vet are nonrefundable. It seems their goal is to get paid for doing nothing.

We have been clients of The Pet Doctor for over 13 years, 3 dogs and 2 grand dogs. Dr. Stephanie and her staff have always been friendly, professional and attentive. The Pet Doctor provides a wonderful service to our family and this community! They love all breeds, both large and small, from Chihuahuas, to Labs, to Pits to Mastiffs.

They aren't friendly, they gouge with ridiculous fee. Give shots that aren't needed and recommend anything and everything for your dog whether or not necessary. They charge for med records from other vets when transferred, biohazard fees and the multi pet discount is $5. This is a slap 👋 n the face for a discount $5, but gouge you on everything else. I spent 3 hours in their office. Moved from WA state, my dog's records were sent from previous vet, I asked for copies for my records. I was told by law I couldn't get copies. What this is my dog's records what's wrong with this??? Records fee, what's that for, that was not disclosed at All!!!! Apparently there is a problem with thfacility. Response is false, record fee was never disclosed.
