How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Day Road Animal Hospital
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

I recently moved to Bainbridge Island and needed to have concerns addressed that our previous vet didn’t dive deeper into. DRAH has been awesome with scheduling, I like their check in process (park, call in to let staff know you’re there, they come out and pick you/pet up) - I have St Bernard’s and I’m sure the other pets and pet parents appreciate my pups not scaring their fur kids, so the added “space” between all parties is much appreciated all around. I also appreciate their approach with including the pet parents in the discussion of a treatment plan. I felt very much a part of the process and think it’s the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

I had to take my kitty to an emergency 24 hour clinic in poulsbo on a Sunday for lethargy and pain. And Day Road was so kind and helpful checking in on her ! They checked in multiple times with emails and calls to make sure she was doing better. I really appreciate the concern . I’ve also had good experiences whenever I’ve bright my cats to day road for routine care . They clearly care about animals here :)

They are great with my dog, but they send reminders for things that they aren't necessary when I call for an appointment or even after I have made the appointment. They also have forgotten labs on at least two separate occasions forcing me to come back. The second time I came back too late to get the test done, and they said they could not refund the cost of the test, despite never telling me that there was a deadline. So great and caring vets and vet techs, but disorganized. And they are expensive, so I wish they'd get it right.

I have nothing but good things to say about DRAH. I have a lot of animals and they all get great care. I always get a call asking how my animal is doing after a procedure and I can always get them in to be seen in a timely manner. If my pet needs to be seen quickly, DRAH gets us squeezed in, and they don’t make it feel rushed. The friendly staff really makes this place stand out from other island options.

Gives advice that contradicts what they said the previous visit, multiple times. When I brought this up, to request clarity, their vet tech got defensive. They will almost always require a Doctor consultation, even when a Tech appointment is all that's required for shots (8 mos after an annual physical they said another one was required). Provides very few services, so they have to refer almost everything. Better off taking French Bulldogs to Seattle.
