How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Winthrop 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.

Due to a cancellation by another patient, I was fortunate to get an appointment with Dr. Pastore after my dog became ill during a camping trip to Winthrop. Upon arriving at the clinic I was greeted warmly by Kerstin, and Rachael was very understanding and compassionate during the initial intake examination. When I spoke with Dr. Pastore I was immediately impressed with her knowledge and professionalism regarding my pet’s condition. Because I live in a different part of the state, Dr. Pastore is not my regular veterinarian, but based on the experience of my visit, I would not hesitate to recommend her and Winthrop Veterinary Clinic to anyone seeking compassionate and professional pet care.

Dr. Pastore helped my dog during an emergency, off hours, and showed extreme kindness and compassion for both myself and my dog. I was blown away by how nice and helpful she was. Can’t recommend enough.

My two dogs got into a fight, and the fight-picker bore the brunt of it. Her ear cartilage was torn, and with our regular Twisp vet out of town, I scrambled to find a back-up option. The other Winthrop clinic wouldn't see her, despite the apparent urgency of her situation, because they weren't taking new patients. Next on my list was Winthrop Veterinary Clinic, and Anna was as thoughtful, friendly, and empathetic as you could possibly hope for. She took a minute to confer with the attending vet, and came back to say that, while they also weren't accepting new patients and were in fact double-booked for the day, they never turned away pets with urgent needs. They fit us in toward the end of the day, and stayed until after 6 p.m. to get Zelda cleaned up and treated. Dr. Sherrie took so much care to explain Zelda's situation, and to walk through her meds and follow-up care with me. This was no small feat, as it was 0 degrees outside and covid protocol had us talking in the parking lot. Also, what dog mama doesn't want the care staff to love her baby? Zelda isn't, shall we say, conventionally beautiful and has an oddball personality, but both Rachael and Dr. Sherrie were over the moon about her, and kept telling me so. She went home clean, bandaged, medicated, and spoiled, and promises to heal up quickly. Thank you so much, Dr. Sherrie and crew!

I am so thankful that Winthrop Veterinary Clinic cares for my dog! Dr. Sherrie, Dr. Gina, Tammy, and the rest of the team are incredibly kind, competent, and knowledgeable. It is apparent that they truly care about the animals they care for and the work they do. The entire staff is professional, friendly, and very skilled in veterinary medicine. And their prices are fair and reasonable. We are lucky to have this clinic in the valley!

Although I've only visited this clinic once, for a brief visit, I immediately was happy with the staff and Dr.!! They genuinely seemed to care about my new rescue puppy, his health, and my satisfaction in the services they were providing. I could go to vets that are closer to where I live, but I would much rather go here. I will be bringing my "rescue baby", as well as my previously adopted girl back to meet their new Vet and vet family!! OH. and the rescue baby has a name now..."BEAR"!! (big smile)
