How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Arlington Animal Clinic
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

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 :)
