How to Save Money at John Boley, DVM
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.
Reviews from Google
I’m so impressed with the staff and care of this office. I’m pretty sure my cat Tommy Lee has a crush on the tech, as he behaves well for her and acts like a sweet heart. That just reassures me that she is great at what she does and the staff is treating my cat in the best manner possible. Dr. Boley is so kind and honest about the treatment options as well. I will always bring my animals to this office.

Dr. John Boley and The Animal Hospital has cared for all our dogs and cats and one hamster for over 15 years and we will continue to seek their services for as long as they turn on the lights. What continues to impress us is the way everyone handles and interacts with our dogs; from well visits to critical care, our dogs are handled with care, empathy and respect.

Took my dog Tank there since my normal vet was full. My dog had an eye infection and john boley was awesome. Was very thorough and explained everthing, were very clean, and has a great sense of humor and was very friendly. Will defiantly go back again.

Dr John Boley is by far the worst vet I've ever dealt with. Bad bedside manner, bad professionalism, just bad all the way around. If you want a good vet, go somewhere else or to another doctor! Make sure you red the reviews before you go here!!!

We have seen Dr. Boley and Dr. Rathmill for many years now with many different dogs and cats. They are honest, professional and well educated. The office is always clean, they are on time with appointments and we highly recommend them.
