How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bristol Veterinary Hospital
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

Dr. Dabhia and the team at Bristol Veterinary Hospital are always top notch when caring for my fur babies. They truly care and are always doing their utmost to make sure that our animals are properly diagnosed and are given the best, most well-informed care. Thanks so much for being so amazing, to all the staff! You are amazing!

I've been a client with this vet specifically Dr. Dhabia since 2021, unfortunately I have to leave my honest review as I have sent my dog Kobe twice to see him as Kobe was excessively licking his paws until they were pink since August 2nd, 2024. Dr. Dhabia took less than 5 mins to examine Kobe and then just stated "allergies" and dipped. Kobe was prescribed Vanectyl which worked at first but then Kobe's licking seems resume again. I had to send Kobe to see Dr. Dhabia again and under 2-3 mins he prescribed more Vanectyl and antibiotics. As of today (Oct 19), Kobe still has irritation on his back paws. I have sent an email to the vet as Kobe's condition seems to not have improved. Dr. Dhabia seems to be extremely rushed and did not take the time to explain what are the root causes of his allergies, what Kobe may be allergic to. He simply walked in, checked paws, and then peace out. Spent a total of $300 for nothing.

Sharing my awesome experience at this clinic since it was our very first visit to this vet! Right off the bat, the place was spotless, our appointment was right on schedule, and the front desk staff were simply fantastic. Dr. Dhabia really impressed me with his thorough examination of our new kitten and was super open to answering all our questions. You can tell he’s genuine and truly passionate about what he does! Our little guy recently got neutered, and the whole process was impressively quick and organized from start to finish. I’ve seen some negative reviews floating around, which is why I felt it was important to share my positive experience—the service we received completely exceeded my expectations! Plus, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the fees at this clinic are very reasonable compared to others. Definitely a win in my book and would definitely recommend Dr. Dhabia and his staff.

I had the unfortunate event of having to put my dog down yesterday. I had my daughter by my side and this had come as a shock to us and everything happened so quickly. The staff were so amazing and compassionate especially with my daughter who was in absolute shambles. From the candle at the door, to the unlimited time spent with our dog, we didn’t feel rushed and everything was explained to us step by step. It’s never easy to lose a loved one but this team made it as bearable as possible. Thank you for everything and helping us know that BLUE is now sleeping peacefully. I appreciate your kindness and patience 💙

Dr. Dhabia and his team have been looking after my dog since we adopted her 3.5 years ago. They are friendly and help put my dog at ease when she comes in, making sure she can visit without other dogs around as she is reactive. They've always provided solid treatment, without overcharging and running up a huge invoice. The clinic could use some modernization, but it doesn't affect how the services are so I don't mind. We're grateful to the whole team at Bristol for looking after my dog with so much care over the past few years.
