How to Save Money at Ancient Arts Veterinary Acupuncture
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 found Dr Dallas shortly after my 12 y.o papillon was diagnosed with CHF. I was sad, panicked, and unsure what to expect. Dr Dallas was excellent at talking with me and beyond helpful in educating me with his diagnosis and offered some alternative treatments. My dog wasn’t expected to live past 2021… it’s now April 2022. 🙂 her continued support gives me hope and comfort. HIGHLY recommend. The appointments and costs are beyond worth it.

When my 14 year old Dachshund Ella had cushings disease I was looking for a gentler approach to treating the symptoms. I was lucky enough to find Dr. Kris who not only treated Ella as if she were her own, but she extended her life and made her quality of life better with herbs and acupuncture etc. I highly recommend Dr Kris and her practice. I have continued to see her with my other pup and another rescue dachshund. He also had some acupuncture for his back. No white coats or scary metal tables! Just gentle music, and a doctor that gets on the floor with the dogs and really sees them!

Dr Kris is a true healer. My kitty not only suffered from nerve pain in her hind legs but depression over losing her lifelong mate. After just a few sessions with Dr. Chris, our little girl was so much happier and was walking so much better. It's like we got her back. We go now every five weeks and each trip is a wonderful day out for us. I can't say enough about acupuncture for pets and Ancient Arts Acupuncture.

My dog was diagnosed with leukemia last year. Her white blood cell count reached. 18,000. Normal range is under 5,000. With the aid of Dr Dallas and the Chinese herb and diet protocol, my dog is almost back down to normal range. I can't thank her enough for prolonging my dogs life, perhaps by years. Without her, all hope was lost. She's the best.
