How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Welland Animal 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.

We’ve been bringing our pure bread boxer to Dr. Fiddler for over 6 years, ever since he was a puppy. We’ve always been happy with the care and service provided by him and all of his staff. I never feel pressured to buy into something I don’t want or need unlike at some other vets in Niagara. Everyone is knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely care for the pets. Our boxer has been going through some health issues lately and Dr. Fiddler has been amazing at explaining the diagnosis, our options etc. I highly recommend Welland Animal Hospital.

One of our dogs recently had surgery and it occurred to me that I’ve never left a review over these past years. This is very long overdue but like they say, better late than never. Shout out to the amazing staff at Welland Animal Hospital who has been caring for our animals since 2016. This practice has warm, caring and supportive vet staff (Khris, especially in our experience) who go the extra mile for their patients and owners. I absolutely love the veterinarians here and am grateful to have them prevent, diagnose and look after my four-legged babes.

Dr. Zaki has been so compassionate & kind to myself and my 14 yr old dog Charlie. She suggested that Charlie undergo surgery to remove a mass on his back & head, though I was scared to put my senior dog under… Dr. Zaki made the right judgement call. Today (2 weeks post-op), we visited Dr. Zaki again to remove my dogs stitches. My senior dog doesn’t normally get happy to see anyone but was wagging his tail in excitement to see Dr. Zaki. Knowing that my Charlie was shown love and patience when I wasn’t present during surgery is a good feeling. Thank you from myself & Charlie ❤️

I recently took my dog, Willow, to the vet, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we walked into the clinic, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. The vet, Dr. Karner, was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly. He showed genuine care for Willow, ensuring she was comfortable throughout the visit. The examination was thorough, and I appreciated how he addressed all my concerns with patience and understanding. The clinic itself was clean and well-organized, which added to my confidence in their services. I was also impressed with how efficiently the staff handled the appointment, minimizing wait times while still providing personalized attention. Overall, Willow's visit to the vet was a positive experience, and I feel reassured knowing she is in such capable hands. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for compassionate and professional veterinary care!
