How to Save Money at Interbay Veterinary Care Center
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.
Reviews from Google
This is not a good veterinarian in terms of TRULY wanting to help your animals. Sure, they answer phone calls, do not cancel appointments. But when it comes down to taking action for your pets, just like any establishment in Seattle WA, they will drag their feet and try to get out of doing any work whatsoever. It's a shame because pets can't vouch for themselves, and pet owners WANT to put trust in the veterinarians care they "provide". Not the doctor (Dr. Coffin), but the tech here have the worst attitude I have ever seen, and I have been to vets all over the country. It's evident they don't want to be there, and animals sense that energy. It's not good for keeping animal stress levels down when they are in a time of need and seeing a vet. I regret giving them any business and will not recommend this establishment to anyone who wants the best care for their animals.

Great team to help through the anxiety of a sick pet. Their care is great. My cat doesn’t have any problems with their team and the team does a great job explaining all the things that are important and then some.

Dr. Coffin is extremely knowledgeable and offers sound recommendations. I’ve been extremely happy with taking my pups here.

Dr. Coffin is the most knowledgeable vet I’ve ever met. When something strange was happening with my cat’s ears, he told me a few things it could be—very costly to treat autoimmune issues, or simply food allergies. Rather than only telling me the expensive treatment option (as other vets have done) he gave me a ton of research to help me get started with allergy treatment. And it was food allergies! I’ll never take my animals to a different vet if I can help it! And the staff are always incredibly supportive, great listeners.

My wife and I are so happy a friend recommended Dr Coffin and his staff (Veronica is amazing). When one of our cats was diagnosed with cancer at another vet, they were slow and didn’t give us any options, other vets were the same. Then we went to Dr. Coffin who gave us so many referrals and options while also giving us a detailed end of life plan to ensure we were giving our cat the best life. We moved our other cat’s care here, as well as a new puppy. Dr. Coffin is the most thorough and compassionate veterinarian we have ever encountered and goes above and beyond in his consultation. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and comes off as much more up-to-date with research than other vets in the area.
