How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bellevue Veterinary Hospital
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I was over the moon happy when I called from the parking lot, they were ready-said come on in. Duke & I were out of there in under 20 minutes. He had his annual exam, boosters, rabies vaccines & ear exam…. All for under $250.00!!! I’ll recommend Bellevue Veterinary Hospital to everyone. Very pleasant visit. Thank you.

My dog passed away last night. I called Bellevue today about cremation services. The staff was so respectful of both Artemis and myself. She was young to pass but the kindness showed by all the staff was appreciated. I can not say thank you enough!

When i went in to go get my cat spayed, I was not quoted how much id be paying until the end even though i asked if i could do a payment plan, which, btw you have to pay in full and was only met with that information when i went in there after asking in an email if i could (they saw the email but told me i couldn't when i went in there for my cats appointment which is extremely sketchy). When i got my bill it was $800 to spay her, i asked for a itemized bill because the number was just way to high, to be met with a “spay and neutering” charge that was $450 instead of the $350 i was quoted on the phone when i made the appointment. When i asked about it, i was met with the most rude woman who kept telling me to get an adult… i am an adult and was the one paying, plus the one she quoted, anyways when i asked about the sudden up charge they said they started charging $100 more in the last few days… i made my appointment before they decided to do that, they never informed anyone over the phone or through email so i made them take off the charge, they knew they were up-charging $100 more, than wouldn't even talk to me at first when i asked about it. The receptionist was a blessing and calmed me down when they wouldn’t bring me my cat though! Just keep an eye out and always ask for an itemized bill if you decide to use this vet, which i highly recommend you don't

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Reasonable, caring and knowledgeable assessments of my three pets. Always clean and organized. Follow-ups done. This would be a good model for human medical issues which is sadly lacking. I have referred others. Thank you for your expertise.

I tried to take my injured dog there, but was informed when I arrived that it was an appointment only service and not truly a "hospital" which I don't believe was really clear on the website. Anyway, they were pleasant and directed me to another facility. Thankfully my dog was not in distress at the time. I was visiting from another part of the Island.
