How to Save Money at A R Animal 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.

Dr Sidhu and his staff are some of the best humans on this planet. I've never met a more caring Veterinarian and vet staff. Not only do they provide excellent care for our pets but they are compassionate towards us as well. They took great care of our girl in her last days and Dr Sidhu and his staff took time to listen to our concerns and needs. They take great care of our other animals as well. I can't describe enough how incredibly grateful we are to Dr Sidhu and his staff. I wouldn't recommend anybody else!

We highly recommend A R animal hospital! My Pitbull baby had an unexpected pregnancy and A R animal has been with us the whole way. It’s been a lot to handle with my pup and her 8 pups, and throughout alllllll their appointments and records/paperwork, we have never had a bad experience. The vet staff has been so understanding, friendly, warm, informative, accommodating and helpful. We drove by because we requested to amend some puppy records (I made a mistake that I asked the clinic to help me fix) and I happened to have my pit in the car with me- even though she didn’t have an appointment, some of the vet staff passed by, recognized her, and remembered her by name and said hi! The doctor has been so knowledgeable at each of our meetings with him, we’ve had so many questions and he’s always been patient. He hasn’t pushed an expensive optional treatment on us like other vets have; we really appreciate that he has helped us make informed decisions that help our babies health and aren’t such a huge financial strain. Their rates and policies are so reasonable. We recommended them to another family pet and after taking their dog, they had the same report on their experience- great rates, wonderful staff, an intelligent doctor. So happy that we can rely on them to take care of our pet loved ones.

My little beagle needed to be neutered. These people were wonderful. The girls in the front were always friendly and accommodating. I never met the vet, but my dog is happy and doing well. The price was great 👍😃.

We brought both of our dogs in to see Dr Sidhu for full physical exams for they both had issues that made us seek a veterinarian. 1 of our dogs is an 8 yr old male and the other is a 16 yr old female Dr. Sidhu made it perfectly clear that there were different options for the type of treatments as well as different price ranges. We could choose from a minimal exam to extensive exam which includes a lot of testing, like extensive blood panels and X-rays, especially for our older dog. Dr. Sidhu was very thorough as well as very personable, he spoke to us directly about any and all concerns he had, he gave us options when it came to different types of treatment, with this being said we chose the more expensive option due to the age of our dogs and to give us peace of mind as far as knowing that our fur babies were healthy The one quality that stood out the most for us, was the fact that he spoke to us, it was not via a vet tech like other animal hospitals and our male had to have a minor surgery and he was very attentive and he even called us the following day to check on our dog! That is a real good thing, for he genuinely cares for his patients. Thanks Dr. Sidhu we truly appreciate you and Cuddles and Bentley do too The Nichols,

We have trusted Dr Sidhu and staff with our four furry family members for over 17 years. My recent baby has allergies. He has been great with helping me to keep my fur baby as healthy as possible. His treatment has been very helpful. I have recommended him to local friends over the years and they have been very happy too. He is caring and takes the utmost care of your fur baby. No cut corners here.
