How to Save Money at Value Pet 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.

I had adopted my pup a month ago and he had been experiencing some really bad diarrhea. His vet and everywhere else were extremely booked. I was recommended by one of the other vet’s offices to Value Pet Clinic. I was a little skeptical after seeing some of the reviews but he needed to be seen, so I took him in. I will be returning! I had an amazing experience! The receptionist and Dr were so very nice! They took such good care of Ozzy! And the prices are so good! I only waited for an hour, then we got seen and went about our day. I’d recommend them and have already referred two friends to them. Thank you so much to the Value Pet Clinic Team!

Almost killed my cat. Worst vet I’ve ever been to. We went here with my cat because he had a urinary blockage and was in severe pain, the vet/front desk was well aware of this and still made us wait 3 hours. We were not informed that we could pay extra to be seen sooner. He could have died waiting that long with that type of blockage. Save your time and pets life, go somewhere else. The only thing of “value” here is cheaper spaying and neutering, everything else costs the same as other/nicer vets. Not to mention that when we had to have our other cat put down, they took him and handed him to us in a box through the back door of the clinic. How sketchy and insensitive is that?!? ⬇️ my cat that is luckily still alive, and goes to a much nicer vet now

I am really going to miss the Value Pet clinic. They were awesome with my pets. Never had any problems, always taking care of them even during the pandemic. When you had to go outside and wait! It wasn't long. It was always professional. The girls there are awesome, and the doctors are great. Thank you, Value Pet, for giving us such great service for the last 5 years. We we will miss you guys.

I would give this clinic zero stars if I could. I have an elderly cat that I have been giving another kitty’s medication to. Trixa has been showing signs of hyperthyroid for almost a year. Because I just moved from Everett to Tacoma I had no regular vet and no vets were accepting new patients. I put off taking Trixa to this walk in vet because Trixa is very frail with seizure disorder and renal failure. So I just kept on giving her a low dose of the meds I had left over from another kitty who had passed away. Over time these meds had gotten soft and I was worried they were no longer helping because Trixa was getting very thin. Then Trixa developed an eye infection and I knew I had to take her to this vet. While we were there I explained to the vet about Trixa’s suspected hyperthyroidism. I agreed to a test to check her levels. It was more than the amount I have paid for geriatric tests in the past, but I paid it because I knew Trixa needed help. The test came back showing her “in the gray area” which didn’t tell me anything. To know what her thyroid levels are at the vet tells me I need a second equally as expensive test sent out to a lab. (At this point I am wondering why the first test wasn’t sent out. Now I have paid twice as much as what I have had to pay in the past to have her thyroid levels checked.) But I agree to the test because I want new fresh meds for my kitty—not 14 mo old leftovers from another cat. So the results come back and Trixa does indeed have hyperthyroidism. The vet tells me to double her current dose. So I ask about coming in to get the meds. He asks me how many of the old pills I have left (???????). I tell him 30. Then he tells me, without asking to see the bottle, check the condition if the pills, how old they are, or even if they are the correct meds) to just use them up first and then he’d prescribe new meds. So I do this against my better judgement. Then about a week before the old meds are gone I call requesting meds—new meds for Trixa. Then I am told I cannot get new meds until after I bring this frail little kitty in for yet ANOTHER thyroid test AND another exam. I have tried for weeks to beg this clinic for meds for my kitty. I am on disability and all I can afford are her meds, which she was never given after the vet diagnosed her. The clinic manager stands behind this vet’s actions and now my kitty has gone 15 days without any meds. And they do not care. ALL they are about is getting more money. I am totally convinced the vet deliberately put off giving my kitty meds (forcing me to give her substandard care with old expired meds) just so that he could require I pay even more money for a third test and another exam. This is not a place to go if you love your animals. I will never set foot in this place ever again. Oh, and I am demanding a refund for the tests that did nothing to help my kitty, and I am filing a complaint with the BBB and WA State Veterinary board. What was done to my Trixa is nothing short of cruelty and pure deliberate negligence. Below is a picture of the bottle of meds the vet never asked to see, but wanted me to use up on my kitty—meds that were never prescribed for her.

The wait is Real Long. Pack a lunch seriously. They are nice enough when u get in and have been good to my animals. Their pricing is better than most places besides the ones that are income subsidized.
