How to Save Money at Lake Stevens 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.

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.

I moved here from California in 2017 and have been seeing them for our female cat Gizmo, who is now 15yrs. She is having some issues in the last few years and they have been very supportive and caring about her health. I recommend this Vet for the great care they give and offer.

I absolutely love the staff at LSAH! They’ve always been honest in my pets care and the treatments/testing needed. Not overselling care or medicine. You all truly care about our pets as if they were your own. I’ve trusted my pets with you for nearly a decade now. I was struggling with getting answers about my dogs allergies and Dr. Renee was a customer of mine and would tell me what to ask to have my previous vet do and make sure they didn’t do when they were not making progress. Finally she said “Just come see me!” because she was frustrated as I was with their treatments. I’ve never looked back. I’ve been with you since! I finally had answers and treatments that worked! Since then I’ve seen you for everything from routine care to cancer. It’s not always easy but I’ve always felt like we were a priority even tho you have thousands of patients. I always recommend you to anyone looking for more than a vet but a family. We also see Dr. Koppa. She is so knowledgeable and is happy to take the time to make sure you understand. I never feel rushed or pressured into anything. Thank you so much for caring :) My past and current patients we’ve trusted with LSAH.

I sincerely wish we would have found this clinic sooner! We are set to move out of state, and of course, my dog fractured a tooth less than a week before we were supposed to leave. I posted to my local Facebook community page and not only did this clinic come highly recommended, but Dr. Renee reached out herself. We have an 11 year old dog that just straight up hates the vet. No clinic has ever been able to do a blood draw without putting her under. Dr. Renee, Amber and another vet tech got it done. They were so good with my girl, even when she was making all sorts of noises through her muzzle. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness Dr. Renee showed our girl, ever when our pup was clearly unhappy. I would highly recommended this vet to anyone. ❤️

Dr Koppa & the team has taken care of all our pets for the past 8 years. They are reliable & extremely caring. We had a Newfie/Pyr Puppy that had some issues before his second birthday. We did X-Rays first because it was the best & cheapest option before Catscan/MRI etc. They will always let you make the decision to have them or not. I do suggest you get X-rays while you are there. The results were devastating & they found he has Osteosarcoma/ Bone Cancer. This is not uncommon in these large breeds. So we took him on a short vacation to the Beach, then called Lake Stevens animal hospital to arrange a last minute Euthanasia. Our Pups pain was too much. The squeezed us in and we said goodbye to our buddy. We have 4 cats now & all have been seen by Dr. Koppa regularly. We are moving soon and are starting our required paperwork to get them ok’d to fly into Hawaii. All is going well and they are just waiting for us to find out the exact dates we are flying down with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring your animal in to see Dr Koppa as she is the nicest, most knowledgeable Veterinarian I know. She goes out of her way to accommodate you and your animal. I highly recommend Dr Koppa❤️❤️❤️

What a joke! The Vet I will say is very caring. They charged me 129 dollars (incredibly high in my opinion) for an EXAM, which I paid for due to a breathing issue that turned out to be nothing to worry about, which I am thankful for. The 1 star is the ridiculous quote for dental cleaning. They want over 1600 dollars to perform a dental cleaning!!!! Oh there is more. They also wanted another 270 dollars for a blood test. They hand wrote on the quote "does not include extractions." I have had my dogs teeth cleaned every year since she was born, 9 years. At the time living in Los Angeles, I NEVER PAID over 500 for a dental cleaning including the blood test! I could actually FLY MY DOG AND MYSELF TO LOS ANGELES and get this done and it would STILL BE CHEAPER!!!!! No offense for everyone needs to make a living, but 4 times the price? Best of luck to anyone going here.
