How to Save Money at Pacific Northwest Veterinary Hospital

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.

Dr. Allen and her staff all go above and beyond for my pack. With all the changes in the last couple years their dedication to their pet community and the families who own them, is far beyond any other Vet in town. Even shutting down new clients so they can give their existing clients the best care, I can relate being in the pet care industry. We love you all. Love, Sonny, stella, Piper and even the cat is grateful Micki

I have been so happy with the care that our beloved fur friends have received at this clinic. It may not be the most state of the art facility, but the care and attention that the staff and doc provide far outweighs that. Anytime I have had an emergency, no matter how busy they are, they have squeezed my pets in.

Told my my 14 week old puppy had tested negative for parvo on the 26th of December, 2019. Two days later, I rushed her to the animal hospital in Poulsbo, and they told me she had tested as a STRONG POSITIVE. The following day, the 29th, we lost our precious, perfect baby Blew. The Northwest vet in sequim is A HORRIBLE place to take your companion. They don't care about you or your animal(s). Save yourself the pain and heartache abd don't go there!!!

Dr Allen was such a wonderful vet to our cat Roo. It was late at night and we found Dr. Allen to be on call. One of our dogs had broke Roo's neck but he was still alive. He needed to be put down because he was suffering immensely. Dr. Allen met us at the vet office in 10 minutes so Roo's suffering was as minimal as possible. Dr. Allen was caring, understanding, and so professional. I really want to thank her for her caring nature and responsiveness to the situation being late at night. Thank you again so much Dr. Allen. Roo is in a better place now and free of pain thanks to your quick work. This is our Roo pictured here. Such a sweet cat.

I will forever be grateful for Dr. Allen. I am not a client there, but on a Sunday we had an emergency with our beloved 17 year old kitty that needed to be euthanized. After calling my vet and several others only to be met with a recording to go to Poulsbo to seek treatment. 2 hours away and traumatic for pet and human. I was given Dr. Allens number, called and she answered. Very quickly she arranged to meet and help end the suffering of my cat and us humans. Again, forever grateful.
