We first tried Vets for Less animal clinic about two years ago, and from the moment we entered the clinic, we knew that the clinic was a great place. The front office check-in staff is very courteous, and more importantly, the veterinarians and their assistants are very nice, thorough, knowledgable, and handle the animals with great care. Our small dog has had major emergency surgeries, oral care (cleaning and extractions), eye exams, and shots performed at Vets for Less, and each time we have visited, I have been pleasantly surprised both at the outstanding quality of care that they provide animals. Even more importantly, I love how well they treat people owners by taking the time to explain what all the tests, exams, and results mean and whether there are alternatives. I trust them, and they have never treated us owners wrong or been judgmental to us unlike the treatment we have received at some other clinics we have visited. That the prices are also very affordable makes Vets for Less the only animal clinic that we have found where you get tons of value for your money. Therefore, I absolutely highly recommend Vets for Less animal clinic for both minor and major veterinary services. As a side note, I have read some of the low scoring (1-star) reviews of this clinic... I can attest to the fact that this clinic is not all about the money. You cannot find another clinic for 50 miles or more that provides this level of care and services at such affordable prices. I believe those experiences are not truthful or they are very, very unique.
If I could give them more stars I would. I do not know who owns this place however, it is such a great service to those of us who have multiple furry family members that need medical attention, dental, spay, shots etc. The ladies at the front desk were so professional, very caring, attentive, and checked us in fast. I was very nervous about having a procedure done on my tiny maltese, they made feel at ease, went over the entire procedure, never pressured us into other options. We have raise furry family members for over 40 years and I have been to 100's of vets over the years and none can compare to vets for less. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Peanut Butter. I cant imagine the negative comments, but you cant please everyone I guess, but we are beyond please from start to finish... Paula Vines/Port Orchard, wa. PS we were qoted over 2500 for the same procedure from a vet we have used for over 10 years, and they were always rude and never wanted to answer questions and made us feel like we were taking up too much of there time. NOT vets for less it felt as if we were the only patients they had....
I took my 6 year old 13 pounds long hair chihuahua and 5 year old 4 pounds short hair chihuahua to have their first ever teeth cleaning. My normal vet estimated $700-950 for both of them. The total that I spent at "vets for less" was under $328. This covered cleaning, 8 teeth extraction for the little one, pain shot for the little one, take home pain meds for the little one, and nail clippings for both. I scheduled an appointment and dropped her off around 8AM. When they checked me in, they went through all the extra cost options with me such as "we will call you if they need extractions but if we cannot get a hold of you, do you want us to proceed with the extraction or stop work completely?" The vet called me at 11 and asked about the extraction, I gave her the OK and they were both ready for pick up by 12:30PM. When I arrived to pick them up, the vet met with me to discuss after treatment care. She also said to come back if there are any issues because rechecks are free of cost. Both of my dogs are doing well and I plan to go back for routine visits (such as shots and teeth cleaning). I recommend this place for preventative care.
My 12 year old Black lab/Shar pei mix was refusing to walk, eat and go to the bathroom on his own. We took him to Vets for Less to see if there was anything we could do for him. The vet, Ashley Austin, came in and looked at him for a few minutes. Without doing any tests or even touching him, she told us that he had hip dysplasia and nerve degeneration and began pressuring us to have him put to sleep. I said no, but she continued to pressure us and made the comment that “part of growing up is learning to let go” even though I am an adult and she looks barely older than me! As I continued to refuse, she gave us some pain medication and anti-inflammatories and sent us on our way. She told us that he would never walk again. Despite her diagnosis, he made a complete recovery and is behaving just as he used to. Ashley made no attempts at assessing my dog’s condition before making a diagnosis and did not provide us with a referral. She acted in a completely unprofessional and condescending manner towards me, and if I had listened to her, my dog would’ve been dead for no reason. Vets for less may be great for simple things such as vaccinations, but do not bring your pet here for anything serious. They will not tell you to see another vet, they will only tell you that your pet is sick beyond recovery and pressure you to put them to sleep.
Stay away from this clinic. Seriously. They don't care about your pets, all they care about is how much money they can make off you. My dog had a horrible skin infection, I spent so much money and time on this clinic, they where never able to make his skin infection go away. Every time I would go back they would say "okay lets prescribe him a different shampoo" and get $300 to $500 out of me every single visit. I should have not gone back the first time I didn't see any improvement, but I was a first time pet owner at the time and I was scared for my dog, all I wanted was for him to get better. Until finally I realized I wasn't getting anywhere going to this vet. I took him to a different clinic in Seattle, and believe me, within the first visit they were able to make his skin infection go away. I ended up paying $130.00 and my dog is doing so much better. If my review is not enough to convince you to stay away from this clinic, go to yelp and check the filtered reviews, you'll see the kind of animal clinic they really are.
