How to Save Money at Redmond-Fall City Animal Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner
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.

Dr. Carlson and her staff were absolutely lovely to me and my pooch. After a recent move, I needed to establish care for my big staffy. I put this off as a result of caring for elderly parents and naturally, a need for urgent care arose with my pooch. The clinic was able to get us in same day- I expressed my guilt for waiting and there was only kindness, no judgement. Costs were very fair and we will make this our vet of choice!

These vets and vet techs are so attentive and helpful. Sandy has been a saving grace and a huge resource for finding vet pharmacies, supplements and special equipment. I so appreciate the extra time they all take to help my pups!

Do not use at all costs. My dad had used the old owners for years they were good. But ever since the place got new owners the quality has gone down. They literally made my dad feel terrible for putting down our 15 year old dog who could hardly walk they wanted us to force her pills and told him they didn’t want to put her down… and now my dad has another older dog and they have misprescribed her time and time again she was just constantly in pain and they would not listen to us, all they wanted to do was charge us $900 to clean her teeth. Finally we said enough is enough and are completely done with this place will never go back and do not recommend to anyone!

I just had my pup's first appointment at Redmond-Fall City Animal Hospital. I have a skittish heeler and a COVID puppy so they were both pretty scared. The team handled them amazingly and my skittish heeler even took treats (which he doesn't do). Thank you so much to Dr. Carlson and her team for going slow and taking the time to get to know my pups!

Can’t say if they are good or bad but can say I’ll never find out. Called to make appointment and got their voicemail complete with detailed procedures on Covid. Left all required information. Message assured a call back in 24hours. Been over a week and nothing. Seems they are too busy or too concerned with having any contact with customers to follow their own instructions. Gave up. Another local vet called me back same day after online appointment request. My advice is skip this place unless you can wait indefinitely to even talk to someone.
