How to Save Money at AA 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.

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.

I am very very pleased with this Veterinary office. Long story short, I just moved into town and my 12 yr old doggie desperately needed teeth cleaning and possible extractions. Our previous Veterinary wanted to charge us $1,800 for a teeth cleaning without any extractions. We just can’t afford that. I started calling different offices in the area and took her here. They were honest, quick, affordable and much much more compassionate to my dog. Within 1 week of our first visit she got her teeth cleaned. Only one was pulled out because it was already loose. The other office had pulled 14 teeth out of her sister 2 yrs ago. Now I’m believing those did not need to be extracted. It’s hard to find honest hard working people nowadays but this office and this doctor really blew me out of the water. 100% recommended and 100% would take both of my dogs there now ❤️ God bless them!

I’m done!!!!! I asked for a simple note for the groomer about a minor limp which is healing and Dr. Sheffield got on the phone to tell me he doesn’t do paperwork for free and I would have to pay for painkillers and the steroid shot and the exam charge He recommended, in order to get a simple note. I’m sorry was the $400 in the past two months not enough…. Literally tries to hit me up for $250. Every time I go. Take advantage of the next one because it won’t be me anymore not to mention your dry humor is arrogant and condescending and you’re not funny you’re a miserable man!! Do you overcharge me because your dermatologist over charges you!

I was very impressed today. The office is very clean and neat and the staff were kind and helpful. Dr. Sheffield was kind and let me know up front what my treatment options were and the costs so I could make an informed decision. He took the time to instruct me on after care and how to administer Gypsy’s medicine so I could be sure to give her the correct dose. He listened to my concerns about her and made sure I understood my options. The office staff were great as well. I’m so glad I Dr. Sheffield because our former Vet retired. I would definitely recommend AA Animal Clinic .

I’ve always had amazing experiences here, I took my Shih Tzu here for years and when he passed away they took care of everything. I called and they arranged for him to be picked up by a funeral service and called me when he was taken care of to be picked up. I now have a shepherd mix and Great Dane mix plus a cat and they are well taken care of.
