How to Save Money at Northwest Animal Hospital
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.

Dr MOLLY made me feel at ease immediately as soon as I came in with my noodle Mr. Tickles. Im so glad to have found an exotic vet close to me!! I don’t have a lot of sick FERRET experience so I was really worried about my guy after he had gone downhill quickly. She performed surgery to remove an impaction in his stomach and he is home and recovering. I am so grateful for their team! I’ll be back when he’s all better for a check. ❤️🩹🥰

The entire staff was extremely helpful and made me and my pet Sparkles feel welcomed. Everyone was informative and caring to mine and Sparkles needs. This will now be my go-to place for all my pet's needs. Highly recommend.

Our experience overall was not great. I understand that having a guinea pig is an exotic animal. We rescued a guinea pig and needed to have him neutered. This clinic was referred to us by a friend. The vet that performed the surgery seemed fine, but there were complications after his surgery involving a hernia. We went back to the vet to find out what the lump was (because we aren’t veterinarians and didn’t know) and was told that it was either a fatty tumor or we could do exploratory surgery, but she did not feel like it was a hernia. We gave him medicine that was prescribed and it helped some, but didn’t fix the issue. There were phone calls to the vet and a few visits….. finally it was determined (months later) that he had a hernia and by the time surgery was scheduled it was basically too late. My family is heart broken and frustrated at the lack of knowledge from this clinic. We feel that his life was lost based on their inexperience. From seeing other negative reviews I’m sure there will be a rebuttal…. But please keep searching for another vet when looking for your precious guinea pig or other exotic animal. Update: I figured there would be an extensive elaboration justification to my review….. grant I glance at it because I know it was a big cya explanation…NEVER was exploratory surgery recommended….. so please stop with that! Completely false, regardless of what someone wrote down in his notes, we were not encouraged to do that. We are very responsible pet owners and you clearly know from the charges we are willing to do anything to save a life. Reviews are meant to inform consumers to a personal experience. We followed the advice of a doctor and clearly that wasn’t correct. We also tried to schedule Oliver’s surgery sooner and were told that surgeries weren’t performed then. As you know Oliver wasn’t showing signs of illness prior to the day his surgery was scheduled from our what we knew, as we aren’t doctors and didn’t know what to look for. So frame this however suits your narrative….. Oliver’s health was mishandled and as his owner I have the right to caution other Guinea pig owners without you blasting his medical record and what you were told we were told all over the internet. Perhaps the next time a new client meets with you, Dr. Molly regarding the initial surgery, YOU are the doctor that actually preforms it. I have no doubt that there will be more feedback and aggression towards my update….. and so be it. I’m being honest and I feel I owe it to Oliver’s life to hold steady in that.

I've been bringing my cats here for years but now I'm a first-time dog-owner and the doctor and staff were above and beyond helpful! A full exam and explanation of what is available vaccine and test wise, even an estimate of what to expect when it's time for her to get spayed. Most appreciated, they provided as much advice as I asked for on training and raising a high-energy dog, and even how to make my cats less angry about her breathing in their space. Lady Bug loved all the attention she got from the staff and wasn't ready to go home without her new friends when we left. Thank you guys and we look forward to seeing you again!

I would like to take the time out to thank Northwest Animal Hospital for their support and service. Our little guy is not feeling well and Northwest Animal Hospital was able to see him quickly. I would like to give a big thanks the their front of house staff who greeted us and got us going. Thank you to the Vet Laura and Vet Tech I believe his name was Moses. I am sorry if I missed the name. Thank you guys for helping me and my family as we nurse Herbert back to great health.
