How to Save Money at Fifth Avenue 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.

Hard to get an appointment, and I feel Dr Chris is too aggressive when it comes to dental surgery. I took my 11-month old dog in for a dental exam, and when I came to pick my dog up I was told that Dr Chris pulled 32 of his teeth without really explaining to me that he was going to do this (I never would have agreed to it). So now, after a $4000 bill, my 11-month old dog basically has no teeth.

An excellent vet in the Edmonds area. Will respond either by phone or email promptly. Great and easy location, clean and healthy facilities. They advise straight up as to the needs for your animal without trying to sell additional services. The Dr. always gives options, which is an important factor when weighing services for your furry loved one!

I am over the moon!!! After 10 years at a vet that never seemed to prioritize my 14 year old dogs wellbeing I have finally found the dream vet! From the personalized welcome when we walked in, to the in-depth intake from Jen, to the hour of ACTUALLY HELPFUL information from Dr. Chris I am just blown away! I have spent less time speaking with the vet in the last 10 year’s combined than I did today. He was funny, science based, and only cared about my pups quality of life. All of the stars to this amazing team!!!
