How to Save Money at Northwest Veterinary Clinic
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.

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?
