How to Save Money at Port Orchard Animal Clinic, Dr. Liz Oien DVM

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.

Very courteous and caring staff greet you and your pet. Dr. Liz takes time with each patient and is extremely thorough making certain that as the pet owner you completely understand all that is going on with your pet and that the home care you provide isn't sub par. Vet techs are very accommodating and go the extra mile to make visit as pleasant as possible for you and your pet.

We have been going to Port Orchard Animal Clinic for a few years now. And Dr. Liz and her staff are Amazing! They are always able to fit us in when we have a last minute problem with our dogs. One of my dogs has spinal issues with pain, she has helped him with pain management. Which has helped him enjoy life and extend his life by years. Our other dog, Rue has bad allergies and ear infections. Dr. Liz has treated her stubborn ear infection and it's all clear now. Rue is getting treated with monthly allergy shots & this has helped her stop itching and having severely irritated skin. Rue has been a much happier dog since treatment & is back to her spunky self. Dr. Liz always thoroughly explains the situation and treatment for our animals so that we understand. We highly recommend her over other veterinarian's we've tried in the area. Thank you so much Dr. Liz and staff for treating our dogs & making their lives healthier & more fulfilling!! Also, thank you so much for the kind & caring treatment of our animals!!

HANDS DOWN BEST AROUND!! Have been breeding dogs for many years and have been to almost every vet in county, and this one is the best by a landslide. They treat my pitbulls like they are just a normal dog and the dogs notice. They are actually excited to visit the vet now and even yelp when we pull in like we are going to a park or something. All the vets and staff are warm and welcoming every single time. They call and. Check in with us regularly. I honestly can not even imagine going any where else ever again. Thank you all so much for being true to your profession.

It was my first time in this clinic with my small pup who has a tendency to require high demand from the vet. Dr. Liz took great care of my pup and I had an excellent experience. The clinic is very clean and I received a great initial experience upon walking inside. Highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Liz, you will not be disappointed.

They're very friendly. I don't understand why a long time business with a long time client who has paid a LOT of $$ won't help a senior citizen on a very low income. Perhaps someone can explain WHY everything is about the $$. What happened to having a heart and helping out a client? And please, don't blame it on COVID, these companies made a pretty sum from the government.
