How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Salmon Creek Veterinary Clinic

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.

Compare prescription pricing

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

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I cannot say enough about the loving care they gave my dog, Bailey. Josh was the nurse who cared for him. Bailey is a rescue from trauma and has a great deal of separation anxiety. Josh was patient and eager to build a relationship with him (we are new to the area, but he was due for neutering) He sat on the floor with him and was really patient. I spied in the window, as I left, and saw him lovingly guide him onto the scale and to the back room. Dr Brook Miller did an amazing job, as Bailey is up and ready to play the next morning. No bruising or obvious soreness, with exception of the cone, he seems to be back to his old self. Bailey is my world......I trusted them with my world. They didn't let me down.

Dr. Miller is great! My cat is usually standoffish and spicy, but both her and the vet tech Josh were able to calm her and she let them pet and handle her. She even felt comfortable enough to take a nap while waiting. I have been coming here with family pets since I was a kid, back when Dr. Cleveland was around. I hope Dr. Miller stays for awhile!

We have brought our pets to Salmon Creek Vet Clinic for many years. Always a place where our dogs have felt loved by not only the doctors they have seen, but by the staff as well. The new owner over the last few years has brought a level of care and concern that is impressive: they never shut their doors during the COVID epidemic. During the times we lost our older pets, their kind hearts were genuine. I am also pleased to say the care they have showed us humans is dogged approved as well.

I'm not sure how to put into words how I feel about Dr. Polly and the team. We took our cat of almost 14 years to the vet for a check up. I knew something wasn't right but I was not expecting the news we received. I won't go into detail but our girl was really sick and needed to be put down. Dr. Polly and the nurse (I'm so sorry I can't remember her name!) were so kind and compassionate. They let us process and grieve and never once made us feel rushed to leave. They sat with us while we cried and even cried with us. We took our girl home with us to say goodbye to the rest of the family and process the news we were just given. Dr. Polly checked up on us and Callie and provided us resources to help us process what we were going through. We even received a heartfelt card signed by everybody. They went above and beyond and wrote not only their names but the sweetest messages. As long as we have a furry loved one in our lives we will be bringing them to Dr. Polly and the rest of SCV for their care. Thank you for everything!

We absolutely LOVED our experience with Salmon Creek Veterinary!! We have 2 labradoodles 2 1/2 years and 6months! We’ve have our 2 1/2 year old doodle with them since she was a puppy and we have always loved the way they care for her and the convenience they offer in terms of drop off and pick up times! I’ve had two healthy happy doodles and I thank Salmon Creek Vet! We would have never left but we had to move out of state. Take your pup here! Trust me! They will love him or her as much as you do!
