How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Northwest Veterinary 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 have 1 dog and 11 kitties and we take them all to Northwest Veterinarian clinic. Even when they are busy they still find time. Would highly recommend them.

Northwest Veterinary Clinic in Arlington is the best clinic around. My family has been taking our pets there for almost 40yrs. I hear complaints about other vets in town, but we’ve never had a single problem at NW. Dr. Rosie and his wife Raeleen, are so amazing. We have 3 dogs and they take such good care of them. You can tell they really love animals and are just so kind. Scheduling is always a snap and their billing is reasonable.

NW Veterinary Clinic is the BEST Vet Clinic I've ever been to. They are VERY busy, extra busy with COVID and running in and out all day to bring animals in and answer all the questions. Dr Rosie is the best Vet I've met over the years. His wife, assistant, is so busy that it often takes awhile to get a call back but she is very helpful and kind. She listens and talks with Dr about questions and get gets the Dr's response for you. She takes the extra time necessary to be sure each person has all their questions answered which may make her response to calls slower - but she is giving very professional service to everyone. They are a great team and fees are very reasonable.

The receptionist told me I was too much of a hassle when my pet died and was absolutely the rudest person I have ever met. Later I had someone else pick up my pet’s ashes because I couldn’t stand to see that woman again and she told that person that she just couldn’t be bothered to care anymore. I wish I could say good things about Dr. Rosie because HE’S great with animals, but he knows what she does and doesn’t do anything about it.

We have been taking our fur babies to Dr Rosie for the past 10 years. We would not trust any other Vet to take care of our babies. They trust him too, they are not scared (No Shaking) when he examines them. Dr Rosie is so thoughtful and considerate of your feelings when you loose one of your fur babies. "He Cares"! We lost our Kitty to cancer and he was so gentle with him and took his time knowing we were loosing our baby. Yes, he might be straight forward, but why would you want it any other way? I know we dont. In addition, He calls a couple days later to check on his patient when it's a serious issue. Do all Vets do that? Yes, the receptionist might be short with you, (Sometimes) but you need to realize she is the only receptionist and does it ALL "Give her a break"! They are not a big clinic, but extremely busy. I do wish there was somebody to answer there phone, if they could hire someone (highschoolperson) to help answer phones that would be good. But that is the only fault, if that is a fault?
