How to Save Money at Cascade Animal Clinic

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.

Cascade is the BEST! We have been using them for years and have always had outstanding care for our pets- the compassion and empathy given by the staff when we have had to say goodbye to our family members to the love and play time they give our new girl, Vegas, will keep us coming back for many more years to come. I trust them with my pets and know that they have the best interest of my dog in mind when making suggestions and recommendations.

Thank you so much, Dr. Shawn and team! Not only were you able to get Thor, dog of thunder, in to be seen, you did it with compassion. He is finally on the mend. And we have decided you are our go-to vet!

5 stars for Dr. Schutz! This is from my Corgi Daisy. I had such a great experience with Dr. Schutz. I had many concerns, he addressed them all with complete honesty, not like other vets who just prescribe unlimited prescriptions and tests. I absolutely will request Dr. Schutz every time. And the rest of the staff at Cascade is absolutely wonderful customer service and bedside manner. Thank you so much!

I would like to bring to the attention of future customers of Cascade Animal Clinic, that you are only welcome if you agree with what they advise for your pet and how much it will cost you. I have been a loyal customer there for 36 years I have a college degree with a science biology back ground, so I am capable of understanding the scope of treatment the vets want to perform on my pets and I have given them, Cascade a 5 star review in the past. I am also a 70 year old, who is hard of hearing who speaks loudly, unintentionally sometimes. Well , cascade hospital over sensitive manager feels in a letter I received that I am dissatisfied and displeased with cascade’s services and she is suggesting I no longer be their customer as they are unable to retain me as a client. So speaking loudly by a hard of hearing person and asking questions is considered offensive by her, when I only wanted information about the expensive testing and procedures the Drs want to give to my pets. Since the manager wrote this letter to me I can only interpret this as meaning that cascade only wants customers who are quite lambs who say yes, yes, yes, no matter what it might cost you for their expensive services. Don’t get me wrong the Doctors at cascade are very good, however I feel they are overzealous sometimes in how they want to set treatments for your pet to get well, and I have become aware that Cascade is now a corporation which operates for increasing profits and so if cascade does not not make profits well, you know what happens. Future and existing customers beware and find a veterinary practice which is not corporate owned and who is understanding of people who are hard of hearing who are loyal to a senior citizen who was a 36 year customer. Cascade you should have been KIND to me like you ask of your customers on your phone message. Best Wishes, Henry Kara
