How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Best Friends Pet Care

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

The vet here is very good at her job and the staff is extremely nice. My dog had to have an emergency surgery a year or two back that would've cost $2,000 at the animal hospital in Silverdale and they were able to do it for just under $500. We now have a special diet for him and he's happy and healthy and couldnt be living a better life 🥰 he's back up to a healthy weight and loves going hiking with us and adventuring around the Peninsula. Thank you so much for helping out our dog!

Very helpful staff, and we never feel like we're being gouged or up-sold. We've also had tremendous success with adopting one of their precious kittens. Hope nothing but the best and success for this crew.

This vet is fantastic! I'm not a local but while in WA I contacted multiple vets as I found an injury on my dogs elbow. When I called this vet they not only calmed me down about the injury but we're also happy and willing to squeeze us in as new patient. They were fast, friendly and super helpful. Not only that but after forgetting to ask about an injectable I use for my pups arthritis and mobility they were wonderful enough to help with this. My dog has lung cancer and riddled with tumors so to know there is a vet out there that understands this and is willing to help. All I can do is make him comfy and make it easy for him to get around. I'm extremely greatfull to this clinic and their caring staff. A enormous THANK YOU to the staff and vet here!

Dr Pat is the most comprehensive and compassionate vet on Pennsulia. It's about the animals not making 600.00 a visit like other vets in town she works tirelessly above and beyond to help the animals. My dog got bit by a raccoon and almost lost his face. Dr Pat saved him and his face. She works with owners of the animals to ensure that their pets can live and not need a bank loan.
