How to Save Money at Arch Animal Hospital West
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 should have written this long ago but have only now been able to word this right. We absolutely LOVE Arch Animal West! Dr Scott and the staff were so supportive when our lab Lexy was diagnosed with lung cancer. They were so loving and answered all my questions. Lexy loved going in there because of all the loving she got. If we needed something they went out of their way to help us. When it came time to say goodbye to my girl our entire family was there. Do to it raining we had to be inside, imagine 7 grandchildren and 6 adults in that room but they made it work. Dr Scott was so loving and gentle and the office girls answered any questions the kids had. Everyone had plenty of time to share their love and goodbyes and our other lab was able to lay beside Lexy the whole time. Two weeks after Lexy’s death we received a beautiful letter from the MIZZU Cancer Clinic telling us that Arch Animal made a donation in Lexy’s name!!! This is after we received a sympathy card along with other memories from Arch!! We started with Dr Fischer when she opened that office and she’d many tears when she retired but she promised she would leave us in AMAZING HANDS and she did! I can not say enough about this amazing hospital. It hurt to lose Lexy but I can say they did everything and more to help me keep her 8 months longer than I was suppose to have. I HIGHLY recommend them for ALL your pet’s health care! ♥️🐾🐾♥️

We have always had a good experience with Arch Animal Hospital West and today was no exception. Dr.Woodrum and her team (especially Heather) made us and our pet feel as comfortable as possible during a hard time. Losing a pet is never easy and the team we had today made a very difficult day as easy and pain free for our family as possible. Heather was a great point of contact today and the entire team answered every question we had to make sure we were as informed as possible on what was going on. Thankyou so much Dr. Woodrum and Team!

Highly recommended for dogs. Great staff that cares about the animals. My shepherd had a tumor removed and the procedure was done very professional with tons of follow ups and easy instructions for care. Would trust them for any procedures big and small. Thank you and keep up the excellent work!
