How to Save Money at Grays Harbor Veterinary Services
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.

my puppy went here for immediate care once she showed signs of being sick. she had a 9 a.m. appointment where she was supposed to receive IVs. at around 11:30 a.m., they called us saying that they weren’t going to treat her until they had money in their hands, despite us saying we’d pay them once we were off of school/work. they just let her sit there in pain and suffer. even after $1200+ spent on trying to get my pup to feel better, we still never got a clear answer on what she was sick with, so unfortunately she never got the treatment she needed. i truly feel like they didn’t try their hardest to care for her, as they said she wouldn’t eat/drink/walk, but as soon as we brought her home, she immediately started eating and drinking, but she was very weak. they tried getting us to pay them more money to put her down. due to the horrible treatment this place gave my puppy, she now has passed in peace in her loving home. 07/28/2017 - 05/28/2023 rest easy Amara, we love you so much.

My first puppy visit and they were wonderful with little Cerberus. I was very surprised at how reasonable their prices were. They even had a cute flyer that said all the animals they were seeing that day. My puppy's name was on it, it was such a cute touch. Nice to know in today's world that people still go that extra mile, even if it is small. I am lucky and grateful to have found them

Been bringing my pups here for wellness care but was pleasantly surprised how accommodating they were to get my pup Mitzi in for an emergency when I called same day. The front desk Kristina and Mandy are so helpful and kind. I could tell Dr Wilkins cared for my fur babies well being as much as I do and that’s all I can want from a vets office . Thanks again GHVS

Since I can't reply to your message, I will just write another review for you. You say that your staff put their “heart and soul” into take care of Amara, yet, you prolonged giving her IV fluids to help save her until you could get payment even after a promise to pay was made. I hope in the future you reconsider letting someones family member suffer in your care for monetary purposes. You say that you did this because she had never been seen there before, but you could have instead refused to allow her to be picked up until a payment was made rather than letting her SUFFER while she was your responsibility because a 16-year-old girl who trusted you to care for her dog was at school and her parents were at work. To say you are heartless and in this business for the money is giving you more credit than you are due. I hope that when your family members are sick in the hospital no one refuses to treat them because you haven't come to pay first. I would give zero stars if I could, and I would never recommend someone to bring their pet here unless you can pay for them first, unless you want your pet to suffer like Amara did. No need for another copy-and-paste reply, you have done quite enough of that already.

I would avoid this vet at all cost, the owner is older and is money hungry. She was very rude to my husband and insisted his dog needed to be euthanized even though she was clearly alive and wanting to be alive, if you bring your animal to this vet they will give you the biggest bill they possibly can!
