How to Save Money at Greenacres Animal Clinic

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.

This is the story about my encounter with Green Acres vet clinic from the beginning. I had recently adopted a pregnant 5 year old Texas healer from a close friend who unexpectedly passed away.. after she birthed her puppies one of them became very ill at 2 weeks old. I called 11 vet clinics in Spokane and continuously got a response of “we are not accepting new patients at this time”. In my mind I kept thinking “this is not a new patient, this is a 2 week old puppy that needs immediate attention and will most likely have a different vet in the future when he gets to his forever home”… Green acres was the 12th vet I called that day and was able to get him in first thing the next morning. When Dr. Gese entered the exam room she listened to my story, she was understanding, calm, friendly, considerate and honest. She made me feel safe (my emotions were high) and treated this 2 week puppy like he was her own, thanks to her, he survived and is happy and healthy living with his forever family, I was so grateful for the help of Dr. Gese and her amazing staff that I have transferred my 2 other dogs to her care as well! My 10 year old German Shepherd mix has had some challenging health issues recently and I didn’t feel more comfortable with with any other vet to care for her! Her staff is also, knowledgeable, personable and friendly! Unfortunately, my sweet Lexi girl did not make it due to health issues beyond control of treatment. I have never received more compassion in any other vet clinic I have ever been to from the first time I brought her in until it came down to her final day. Thank you for all that you do! Dr. Gese, Katie, Sarah & Kyra ❤️

I have taken my 2 dogs and 1 cat here now a couple times. Every time I am there the assistant and Dr are super friendly and have answered all my questions. They even got my little dog in once when she was sick and I felt comfortable leaving her there until the test results were back. They even called the next day to check on her. Highly recommend this clinic!
