How to Save Money at Animal Hospital on Bell Farm Road
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 always feel spiritually connected and fulfilled during and after a visit with Dr.Uvisthra Singh. His care and concern for well being extends beyond my two cats to the home environment and myself. Always feel blessed after the appointment''

Can’t say enough good things about Dr Singh and his team. Just AMAZING. Best veterinary surgery we’ve had in Ontario (and we’ve had a few!). This practice is all about the animals and my wife and I genuinely feel that each and every pet is treated like one of their own.

I have been taking my fur babies to Dr. Singh for several years now and I would not take them anywhere else. Dr. Singh is the most caring and loving Doctor that you will come across and now that he has opened his own hospital all his staff are just like him in their love for taking care of animals, from the minute you walk in you can feel the love and care that your fur babies will get from this wonderful team of people. Recently one of my cats became pregnant and on the day I felt she was in labour and would have her baby's she began to have some bleeding I called Dr. Singh's office right before they were going to close to see if it was normal and was told that no it was not and that she should be seen. I live in Huntsville and Dr. Singh and 2 of his staff member's stayed and waited for me to arrive. One kitten was born soon after we arrived and she was as small as a baby bird. Dr. Singh did an x-ray and found that she only had the one baby and there was no more. He and his wonderful staff stayed after hours and took care of baby and Mom and then we left to head home not knowing if the tiny little baby would even make the drive back. I named her or him Bell because she or he was born at the Bell Farm Animal Hospital to small to know if the baby is Female or Male at the moment but the name will remain Bell. Here is Bell a few minutes after being born and then 3 weeks old today. I am so happy to say that Mom and Bell are doing great. This is not the first time that Dr. Singh has taken his time after hours to take care of one of my babies and I will always be grateful for all he did for my sweet Lilly before she passed. He is truly a very caring man and you can tell as soon as you meet him that he is in the right profession and Loves all Animals and cares about every fur baby that he takes care of. I would recommend and have several times this hospital and the wonderful staff that work with them and everyone I have sent there are now patients for life. You will not be disappointment with the service you get here you can feel the Love of animals and the compassion for their owners as soon as you walk in the front door. Once you have visited here you will not want to go anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Singh and the entire team at the Bell Farm Animal Hospital for always taking the best care of all my babies I am truly grateful and blessed to have met you.

We recently join this clinic under very stressful circumstances. It is hands down the BEST vet experience we have had with our 17 year old cat. Swiper can be a challenging patient, but deep down knows he's surrounded by loving humans. At least his parents know that! :) What a blessing to leave feeling encouraged, less stressed and supported by such a great team. Grateful is an understatement. Thank you all!
