How to Save Money at North Boise Veterinary Clinic
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.

We have had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Frost and his staff. They have such a calm presence and are very knowledgeable about how to approach difficult dogs and provide them with care. Also they were awesome and were able to fit us in same day after one of my dogs got a puncture wound.

Dr.Frost has always taken EXCELLENT care of my 3. With a high maintenance french bulldog and a high maintenance Dog/cat mom, his patience and care is highly appreciated! He has caught and treated issues early which I know has lengthened my animals lives. Thank you Dr.Frost !

Our dog became very ill over Labor Day. They clinic was closed but I left a message to see if they'd be able to take her the next day. They got to me as soon as they got into the office and heard the message, an hour before they were even open! I don't think they had availability but they wanted to see her right away and squeezed her in, kept her all day and got her all better. The environment of the clinic is not only calming and soothing for your beloved pets but also for their owners. I can't say enough about the staff here, you can tell they really care. They even cut my dogs medications in half for us, like, the whole entire bottle! We've been bringing our little Peanut since we moved here 3 years ago as a recommendation from our old vet in Ketchum and I couldn't imagine taking her anywhere else!

My dog has anxiety and is fearful, and the process, even building layout is perfect for her. In addition, the care she has gotten is great. They follow up and genuinely care - thankful for the whole team there!
