How to Save Money at Bogue 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.

Dr. Herndon is amazing! She is really good at explaining the veterinary needs my dog or cats may have. She is also gentle and patient when my "perfect little angels" let their halos slip ;-)

We took our dog in for what appeared to be a UTI.. Dr. Parsons examined him and immediately sent him for x-rays thinking he had a mass in his abdomen. She explained he did have an inoperable mass pushing on his colon and his kidneys and was put on palliative care and we were told he had just a few weeks to live. We started him on the antibiotic and within a week he was better and continued to get better even though she prescribed pain medicine to keep him comfortable, which we did purchase but did not need. They never followed up with us following the visit to check on him. We recently took him to another vet and they told us there was no mass in his abdomen after looking at the same X-ray. , and that he was healthy . As you can imagine, the grief we went through was overwhelming. I also have cancer so that added to the grief I was already experiencing. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

We had to make the hard decision to put our dog down. The staff at Bogue's were very professional, but more importantly, they were so compassionate. Throughout the whole ordeal , they shared their knowledge and wisdom, but always made us feel like family. I was very impressed with their service, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinarian.

Everyone is very caring and understanding. I called for 2nd opinion because my 11 week old puppy is having itching issues I was able to get it same day . Dr walker was very understanding and caring about my puppy Teddy. I’m looking forward and confident they will help my puppy Teddy. Amazing service 10/10.

Dr. Parsons has been a caring and helpful advocate for our furr babies health. Our family has been taking our pets here for over thirty years. Prices are reasonable and consideration for our time and health concerns during high Covid times.
