How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Phinney Veterinary

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.

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.

Consider pet insurance

Dr. Kari Moore and Kim were so wonderful. My girl Fiona is diabetic and has heart disease and wasn’t her normal self for a couple of days. I was leaving for a trip the next day and decided to bring her in for an urgent visit just to make sure she was okay. I normally go to Mercer Street Vet but they didn’t have any openings but their sister hospital, Phinney Vet got me in right away at 9:30. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. Everyone was so kind and emphatic. Dr. Kari Moore was patient and explained things calmly and didn’t suggest any unnecessary tests. I also really bonded with Kim because she has a diabetic kitty of her own. They even gave Fiona at cute little bandana at the end! I highly recommend this office for your furry babies.

As a newbie in the neighborhood I was in need to find a Veterinary that could get my beautiful Doberman treated for tapeworms. Feeling concerned I googled local vets in my area and Phinney Veterinary had wonderful reviews also mentioning affordable. I was able to schedule a weekend appointment which worked out great for my work schedule. On the day of our appointment I was warmly greeted by their wonderful staff, so friendly and loving all over my dog. Dr. Kari Moore came into the office already knowing about my dog. Dr. Moore offered the best advise thoroughly explaining the best recommendation of medication and also advising on the importance of keeping my dog on preventative heart worm medication even though we are no longer living in Texas. Overall, great experience!! My beautiful Texas gal Whiska had all the treats and love she wanted.

Phinney veterinary was a great experience for me and my golden retriever. We would recommend this vet to others just from the one visit. We needed to update her vaccines and they did a great job with her mouthy behavior. They took the time to get to know her before we started any vaccines. And they updated us quickly after her vaccines were finished. I really appreciated the follow up messages after the visit to make sure she was feeling well. All of my questions and concerns were answered and they did a great job making my pup feel comfortable. Everyone was also really nice and loved our little golden. Thank you!

I rarely write Google reviews, but I need everyone to know how amazing Phinney Vet are!!! Unfortunately, my dog recently got into a Dog fight and had to be taken to the Emergency ER due to time of day of the incident. It was a traumatizing experience for both of us, but Phinney Vet staff followed-up the next day! They saw what happened and wanted to follow-up to make sure we were doing okay and if they could do anything else to help or answer any questions. The fact they reached out and showed they cared, spoke volumes to the care we receive from the staff and doctors we've seen at Phinney Vet. I wasn't expecting that type of service and I'm so thankful they are in the neighborhood and are willing to care about my dog as if it was one of their own.

I am so pleased! I just moved to Seattle from Atlanta and needed to get one of my cats in for her annual. It was easy to schedule at Phinney Veterinary and the team here rocks. I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful this vet is and I’m excited to bring my other cat in for his annual soon! Such a relief to find a kind, transparent, and comfortable vet to take care of my cats. Highly recommend!
