How to Save Money at Pet Emergency Service of Yakima
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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

As a traveler passing through the area with a dog suddenly getting sick, they were amazing! Other then filling out paperwork, there was no waiting at all. They went over possible procedures and costs, but from a urine test, they were quick to diagnose the issue and which eliminated what other tests would be necessary. The only thing they recommended is that I let our dog stay with them for much of the day until they were satisfied with his condition. They’re open till 9:00 which give lots of time to observe the pets recovery. I highly recommend them!

My dad and I had to take his senior dog Lily in on a Saturday for end of life services. She had arthritis in her spine and she took a turn for the worse over the weekend and was in great pain and couldn't move. The staff at Pet Emergency Service were FANTASTIC. Dr. White was the kindest, most considerate veterinarian I have ever met. All of the staff were so compassionate and patient with me, my dad, and with our Lily. Honestly from the bottom of our hearts we want to thank all of you for helping us through such as sad occasion and for being so kind to Lily in her transition from this life to the next.

My cat, Dixie, was very sick. We went to the Emergency clinic. They were very busy with just one veterinarian. Although I was in an exam room, I could hear the phone ringing off the wall with staff answering . Dixie was diagnosed with Felv. A fatal disease. I opted to put her to sleep. I chose to be with her and take her home to bury her. They gave me time to hold her and grieve. When I left, there were cars backed up to the clinic with staff with stretchers bringing sick and injured animals into the clinic for treatment. They were so busy, but still took time to make sure Dixie's death was peaceful.

It really couldn't be 24 hour? They told me they would keep her as long as they could but after 9pm hit that she most likely wouldnt survive the night.(Which she did) My dog almost lost her life due to the awful business hours. What would of happened if it happened on Tuesday? My dog would of died. Its not 24 hours and has days its closed? Its an emergency service. Hope I never have to go here again.
