How to Save Money at Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty 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.

Our dog has had 6 surgeries with these guys. The surgeons are beyond excellent. They take the time to fully explain and are always there if you need them. You know when you are freaking out over swelling and call in a panic. They will always answer your call with patience and their wisdom. Highly recommend them. They are expensive!

Dr. Van Deventer is basically our hero. After 2 failed knee surgeries from a highly respected orthopedic specialist and tens of thousands of dollars, we went to BB ER, Dr. White was absolutely wonderful with Ivar, she got him in to see surgery, surgery was booked a week later. Ivar's case was complicated from all the surgeries and tissue damage, but Dr. Van Deventer threw every lateral luxating patella technique she had at him and it worked. He's finally ok! We were also told from a different large hospital he had a rotational bone growth after paying for a CT but Dr. Van Deventer disagreed after reviewing his x-rays, so there was no need for a CT at all. Honestly, we're so grateful to everyone. I won't go anywhere else. Shortly after my cat was unwell and has a benign heart condition, we also saw Dr. White at ER and she got him into cardio and he's totally fine now and will live a long and normal life. I also love that this was an all-female team.

Dr. Wright and the team saved my dog’s life. My dog Oliver, loves coming to the hospital for check ups and physio. Everyone treats him like he is part of the family. Everyone is so kind and go above and beyond to provide Oliver continued care even after his surgery. An exceptional team.

While our visit to Boundary Bay ended with saying goodbye to our dog Lucy, the care and compassion we received at the hospital was tremendous. All the staff were so nice and the Dr handled all of my families questions with grace. They laid out all of our options in detail for us and were very honest about everything without being insensitive. While we ultimately had to make the choice to euthanize our dog, we are glad we came to Boundary Bay as the quality of care is some of the best we have received in the multiple years of owning dogs.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Judy Rochette and the staff at Boundary Bay. The service we experienced was top notch! Yes, you pay for it. But when your pet is in crisis you want to know that they are in the best hands. Specialists aren't always known for having the best bedside manner but Dr. Rochette is very down to earth, friendly and compassionate, and was very respectful and honouring of my wishes when it came to devising my pup, Winston's, care plan. Communication was a priority and regular updates were given during Winston's stay. I was invited to call anytime with any questions and visits were encouraged. I would highly recommend Boundary Bay for beloved pets needing specialized care.
