How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Arab Veterinary Hospital

Preventive care

The whole staff are awesome! The doctor and his whole staff are just so friendly! I've used them twice now for multiple feral cats. God's Feral Felines sent me to them for feral feline program and I'm absolutely pleased!

Dr Brown and his staff are the best. We’ve used them the entire time they’ve lived here and they’re always great but recently he saved our dog’s life after she ate a chew rope. We didn’t know this happened but noticed her not eating. By the time we realized there was an issue half the rope was in her stomach and the other half was in her intestines. Dr Brown did surgery and removed the rope and saved her life. After a week in their care she’s almost fully healed. Thank you! Also Dr Brown is very involved with kids interested in being a vet. He allowed our son to observe a surgery and he helps the kids from the local schools who are enrolled in veterinary classes. Thanks for all you do!

I took my cat for a UTI. These people made me fill out a form asking for the same basic information that a HUMAN Dr office asks for with the exception of an insurance provider and my blood type. That was the first flag. WHY do you need all that if payment is made BEFORE you can leave??? Second flag was waiting for 30 minutes in the exam room and then being told it was going to be close to closing before my cat would be seen and then I was told the exam fee is $45.00, which isn't too bad, but then the fees for urine collection... what? Urine collection??? HE CAN'T PEE on demand and when he does pee, it's little pee balls, not even a teaspoon full... I can understand a urine collection if the exam revealed a full bladder and the animal was seriously lethargic. Then I was told I needed an appointment. I could leave my boy overnight and pick him up on Monday. Ummm NO! He's still eating and attempting to urinate. He's just not feeling good, because of the UTI. I picked up his carriage box and No thanked it and have a good day, right on out of there. AND I BETTER NOT GET A BILL, BECAUSE NO ONE EVER LAID EYES ON MY CAT! I took him to the Vet he has seen before. Find that review on Catoma Vet profile.

The staff have been exceptional when it comes to boarding my fur baby. Even got updates and pictures during the weekend while on my vacation. Very much helped settle my anxiety leaving him alone.

Excellent care and a truly wonderful staff!!! 20 stars!
