How to Save Money at Blue Cross 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.

Staff is very friendly and service is quick. My baby boy Moe did so good just sorry i had to neuter him. He is a blessing of a kitten for a year old! Thank you for taking such good care of him. I will be back with Momma Li and 3 babies!

Do not bring your pet to BCAH. I dropped a perfectly healthy dog for 2 nights of boarding. When I picked her up, she was injured and in pain. They have yet to fully explain what happened. Only after pressure from me were they willing to examine her at their cost. Not only did they show no compassion for my dog or myself, but it took them 2 days to apologize and only after I asked them to. They refused to reimburse me for the cost of the two nights she spent there and was injured mysteriously. Your pet is not safe with them

I’ve been using the veterinarians at BlueCross for the past four years. I adopted my most recent cat after my cat passed away from cancer. Morgan arrived from a local rescue organization and unfortunately came with a respiratory infection, an ear infection and mites, fleas and tape worms. It took several mo hrs of treatments but she’s now a healthy, happy and very spoiled 3 year old thanks to the compassionate and knowledgeable doctors at Blue Cross. They are all wonderful and I’d never think of going anywhere else,
