How to Save Money at Cat Clinic At Canyon Park

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.

Getting 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.

This is the best clinic in the state of WA to bring your cat too. They are friendly, kind, caring, empathetic, and supportive. We had to bring our sick kitty here and unfortunately we had to say goodbye, but we are confident the Doctor and team tried everything in their power and conducted every test to understand what was wrong and try to treat our baby boy. They recommended the best options and sent a thoughtful sympathy card in the mail during the difficult time of grieving. If your cat needs care, bring them here! You will not be disappointment. They are the best of the best.

The very first veterinarian we visited when my kitten was only 8 weeks old, was Patricia Gawley at Cat Clinic at Canyon Park. My kitten experienced shortness of breath and had an increased heart rate. Eventually, at a different clinic, he was diagnosed with congenital heart defect, but when we visited this clinic, we were misled with wrong diagnoses and were given harmful medication. Patricia Gawley did his lungs x-rays and did blood tests, she knew his lungs were clear (other clinic redo his x-rays and confirmed his lungs were fine), but she came to me and said he had a lung tumor and needed a biopsy, she made it up, she wanted to perform an unnecessary harmful procedure just for the sake of getting paid for that procedure. She was drawing that tumor for me on paper. I somehow didn't believe her. I didn't agree with doing a biopsy. She went then to re-do x-rays, her excuse was that he wasn't positioned perfectly and that to send it to the radiologist she needs to make it perfect. But in reality she was trying to produce x-rays with an imaginary tumor. I ended up waiting there another 2 hours. She tortured him for 2 more hours just in an attempt to cover up her fake diagnoses. At the end she produced underexposed x-rays and ended up sending that to the radiologist, wasting my time and money. She prescribed him a very strong antibiotic -doxycycline - which should NOT be used for a kitten under 6 months - it interferes with bones and teeth formation, and especially for a kitten with a failing heart antibiotics should NOT be given, and also because the results of his blood test didn't show infection or inflammation.

Dr. Gawley is simply the best. She is extremely knowledgeable and she cares very much about her patients. You cannot beat the care your cat will receive here.

Truly caring and knowledgeable cat exclusive veterinarian. We went to Dr. Gawley for a second opinion, after a bad experience elsewhere. First Vet suggested exploratory surgery for possible blockages or pancreatitis. I had a feeling something was fishy and I'm glad I listened to my gut. Dr. Gawley impressed me with her hands-on approach. She spent a lot of time examining my cat from head to toe. Dr. Gawley watched her movements and was able to determine through this and the same X-Ray and blood work done by the "other" vet, that my cat had symptoms aligning more with a bacterial infection. Dr. Gawley kept her overnight to make sure she responded to the right antibiotic and voila, cat back to normal. Imagine if I'd put her through exploratory surgery for an infection! Ugh! After this, I won't go anywhere else with my cats! I totally trust her after this experience. I've now taken my senior cat for dental work here and again, just great great service. If you've got cats, this is the place to go, but not too many people cause I want to be able to get in, lol!
