How to Save Money at Arlington 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.

We were at a different vet for 20 years, and had no idea what we were missing until we came here for many reasons. The vets are terrific, but it’s the front desk and tech staff who really create a welcoming, caring environment. In addition, everyone is transparent about all costs up front. We’ve invested in our dogs’ care greatly, and are lucky to be able to do so, but I appreciate not being pressured or Unknowingly led to spending a lot of money without understanding up front. Thank you everyone, Maisie is in great hands and you all made our sad loss with Molly much more bearable.

I have had the best experience with Arlington Animal Clinic over the last few years. We primarily worked with Dr. Avery, who is terrific and always takes the time to listen to our concerns and answer all of our questions thoroughly. The techs have always treated my dog so well and the staff at the front desk are super welcoming and helpful. They have always been honest, up front, and transparent with costs and different treatment options as well, which is so important and also so hard to find in my experience. 10/10 vet practice, you need not look elsewhere.

Thanks to Arlington Animal Clinic, our puppy had a great first experience at the vet. We created a profile for him on their own line portal and they knew who he was when we arrived. The receptionists, vet techs and Doctors were all so warm and welcoming. Our vet even told us that she had done some research on our pup's breed as he is pretty rare and they had never seen one before. I think our pup might actually enjoy going to the vet in the future and we are thrilled.

I have pet mice and Arlington Animal Clinic is absolutely amazing with them. It is not easy to find a vet that can treat small animals, and even harder to find one that does so with as much expertise and compassion as this clinic. Most of my elderly mice have succumbed to terminal cancer, as is common, and they have provided humane end-of-life care with sedation prior to any final interventions. They even gave me little inked paw prints to remember them by. My current mouse, Bizz, came down with signs of an upper respiratory infection a couple weeks ago and although this is actually one of the few things you can treat a mouse for and see improvements, I had very little hope but wanted to try. Dr. Avery said he agreed we should try antibiotics and, I can't believe this, but after about ~4 days she cleared up and is now back to Bizz-ness as usual. I think we caught it before it went to her lungs. But the point is, not only do the staff here take small animals seriously, but they take the small animal *owners* seriously. I am beyond lucky to have this team right around the corner for all my small friends. Here are some pics of my happy, healthy mouse :)
