How to Save Money at Central Boulevard Veterinary 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.

Getting 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. Dhuwan has taken care of our Sheepadoodle boy since he was 8 weeks old. He’s now 2 years and we just added a girl. We love the care and support that we have received from both him and Dr. Singh, not to mention the staff! We look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come!

Cannot say enough great things about this clinic. They have been taking care of my dogs and rescue fosters since I moved to the Bay Area 8 years ago. They have fees for every budget and pet desk rewards to use towards visits or procedures. Love the Doctor:-)

Iv never taken the time to leave reviews for a vet. Central boulevard veterinary definitely deserves one. Iv never taken my animals here, my old cat wasn’t doing good and I knew it was time and after reading up on what the do I chose them. Im so happy I did. This was not easy it was the first time I had to put one of my animals to sleep but all the staff made what was a hard moment the best it could be. I just received a card with my Gizmos paw print and every staff member wrote something kind in it. I thought that was very sweet. They could have just printed out something but instead took the time to sign it. Thank you ❤️

I have brought my cat and dog here for numerous checkups and emergency appointments. They have been nothing short of attentive in taking care of our pets and never performing more than what's necessary. My senior dog had a tooth extracted this week and her teeth were cleaned for the first time She's 12 years old......& They looked amazing!!! Dr dWyan only extracted one molar that he deemed absolutely necessary. I'm very happy with this Vet and their staff❤️😁🐾

I had never been to this vet before, but my primary vet before this had said I needed to get my tabby cat's teeth cleaned with possible extractions. They gave me a low estimate of $1900, which I couldn't afford. I researched into other vets and found Central Blvd Vet! Their dental prices are so transparent and much more affordable. The whole time every staff member I interacted with treated my cat and I as if we had gone there for years- when again, it was only our first visit! Luckily, my cat didn't need any extractions but they were very communicative about if that were to happen. Thank you so much Dr. Singh and to the rest of the staff for your care today.
