How to Save Money at Roosevelt Station Vet Care

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 positive experience start to finish. The appointment was easy to make, it was a couple months out but that was okay. The staff was super friendly and my cat was pretty comfortable as well. They did their best to explain everything to me, and make sure my cat was comfortable. The prices were also reasonable, got a wellness exam and two vaccinations for around $200. I would definitely recommend this place and we’re so happy to find a neighborhood vet that we can return to years after year.

This was our first time at Roosevelt Station Vet Care for an annual exam and vaccinations, and the team was so wonderful! The space is clean and neat, welcoming, and friendly. Best of all, they treated my anxious boy with so much patience and expertise. I have a nervous/anxious 8-year-old Klee Kai. In the past, he has had to be given anti-anxiety medications in advance of shots and blood draws because he gets very stressed and will not let people touch him. This was the first time he had shots without so much as a sound and also without any medications!! I was incredibly impressed by the simple and effective techniques the team used to keep him as calm and relaxed as possible through fun sensory distractions. They were attentive of him, and made me not only feel heard, but like they actually cared and were going to take actions to address and propose creative solutions. Overall the best vet experience we have ever had and will definitely be returning!

Avoid if Possible... I believe the number one priority for a vet clinic should be to put the animals well being first, and this clinic chose to put financial gain first instead. I went there once last year, and now that my trust is broken I won't be returning. Like finding a good mechanic, your relationship is built on trust without it there is nothing hence the 1 star. If you're interested in what happened read on: My dog suffers from extreme anxiety. Seemingly small things will make her physically ill. Going to the vet is probably the most anxiety inducing event she encounters. So I try to only go when absolutely necessary. I moved to Seattle from CA and that move made her very sick at first. So I had to see a vet and I chose this vet simply because they had availability and very good reviews. They "prescribed" a dog food (hydrolyzed dog food) that would be good for her sensitive stomach. During my visit the doctor said herself "some people choose to put there dog on this food for life, there is not harm in it, its just very expensive". Money isn't my concern here, so I kept her on the food since her stomach was cured from it. Sure enough, 1 year passes and then they tell me they won't give me the prescription unless I come in for a visit. Prescriptions for dogs is quite silly in most cases, in this case (better quality dog food) its a complete racket. So they want me to come into the office and make my dog sick for a week or two from that visit only to "allow" me to buy the ultra expensive food I already know she needs to have? I explained this directly to them and told them it was unethical and pleaded with them to reconsider, and they did not respond. They did however read the email and decline the "prescription". I'm honestly very disappointed but glad I revealed their true motivation, which is money first. If I didn't say the following I would be willing to bet they reply to this review (instead of my previous two emails) to save face and pretend its a misunderstanding. No matter what they claim now, its not a misunderstanding. It was a choice, and they chose to be unconscionable.

We’ve been with Roosevelt for 3 years now and they have been amazing to our two cats. Most recently we had to take our cat to an ER vet on a holiday. Once he was released, Dr. Meyer’s and Roosevelt staff followed up on his medication, changes to make at home to help him, and offered support. They even responded to our email on the holiday asking for second opinion on the ER vet decisions. Couldn’t ask for a better staff to love on our kitties like we do! Thank you!

They were so kind and patient with my elderly dog! She's super scared of the vet because of past experiences, but she left this place happy and full of treat. Wonderful staff who obviously care very much about the animals they treat. It took me and two vet techs (and a cutting board covered in peanut butter) to trim my dogs nails (shes a big lady), but with their help we got there smoothly! Will be back for a happy visit for sure!
