How to Save Money at Dougall Avenue Veterinary Hospital
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 have non stop issues with this place, first of all they over charge! Secondly they are extremely unprofessional. I will set up appointments to get there and no one’s there… this has happened on multiple occasions. Then they try to lie and blame me. The women told me that it’s because I cancelled my dog’s appointment 3 times that’s why… I have never cancelled an appointment for my dog ever! Today I was scheduled for 330 and again no one there… I had to call 4 times for someone to answer for them to lie to me saying that they told me to go to huron church…. They never said that! You could clearly hear he was at a park or something and just decided to not come. Fed up! Never going back.

We have been going to Dr. Khahra and his wife for about 8 months. We brought our dog to him when we had to put him down they were so, nice and compationate! Now we have a rescue cat and a young doberman that we bring there. I trust his opinion and expertise. My husband and I personally wouldn't go anywhere else!

Please please stop taking you fur babies to this place.These people will take your money and run. They totally misdiagnosed my dog and gave her medication that made her worse. She is now gone because of them. Will not refund any money for the unused medication that we have. Did they even bother looking at the blood work or x rays that we paid for??? She was in kidney failure which the vet missed and now our Daisy is gone.

I have never been to a veterinarian this bad. I took my dog in and paid for a check up and he only listened to her heart , no checking ears, teeth, eye's or checking for fleas. Only concern was what vaccinations did I want to pay for. I would never go back.

Best veterinary hospital I've ever been to! They are so kind and actually care about your pets, not just getting your money. I have been bringing my pets there for the last few years. Dr. Khahra has performed everything from routine vaccinations, sick visits, to surgeries on my pets. They are so accommodating and knowledgable. I highly reccomend them!
