How to Save Money at Noah's Ark Veterinary and Boarding Resort
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.

This vet got rid of the pet wellness plan we always paid monthly without any notice at all. Took are dog in for his yearly check up and vaccines. Hit with a $400 bill because your shady business canceled the wellness program with no notice!! If you cancel a wellness plan you’re expected to pay a cancellation fee, but it’s ok for them to just stop offering it without notice. If you do stop offering your wellness plans then you should be telling customers before doing anything to their pets and being upfront about cost expense.

This review is for the vet services. I was signed up on the Wellness plan. I was not notified that it was going away. When I took my dog there today for shots, they told me my total was $400. I asked if that includes the wellness plan and they said they no longer did the wellness plan. I would’ve never made an appointment with Noah’s Ark Vet had I known the wellness plan was no longer a program they do. I was completely blindsided by the price. I’m extremely upset and angry that they didn’t notify me that the program was going away and that they didn’t mention it when I made the appointment. I will no longer be using their Vet services.

Wonderful place. My JinX got a bath and her nails trimmed. She smelled good and looked very happy. Unfortunately She will not be returning. I recently was told by their grooming staff to drop my baby off at 7:30am. I was notified afterwards that her bath wasn't until 10am. So she sat in a kennel til then. Now I see why she was so excited to leave. I was told a full bath and nail trim and grinding wasn't a groom so that's why she sat so long . If it was a full groom in which I can't imagine the difference she would have been first even tho she had an appointment and was there first. For over $60+ dollars every two weeks,nope. She now goes to a groomer who takes better care of her needs and treats each pet like a star. They are decent place but I was not a happy pet parent anymore.

I have used the vet and boarding but have never used the grooming. We’ve always taken our 1.5 year old German shepherd to PetSmart for grooming. I was overall frustrated that they never completed any hair cuts/nail trims because he was “difficult” to work with. I decided to use Noah’s Ark and the experience was beyond phenomenal! Bethany had no issues working with our overly hyper boy and he was a whole new dog when she walked him out. He was all smiles on the drive home and was in love with his tush area! I will only be taking my dogs here for grooming with Bethany!!
