How to Save on Veterinary Costs at B Street 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.

Had a super stressful couple of days before the new year because my boy got into some lilies. I was extremely stressed out since this was the first time I've managed to bring him to the vet and it was for an emergency. However, the staff was always really nice, especially Dr.MC who took over his care. He made sure to call me and check in while my cat was staying for the day, as well as keeping me updated on his overall condition and plan. While the first day was the most stressful (and they were so kind to me while I was anxious and crying), they did a lot to quell my nerves and let me know what was going on and what he needed to get done. Overall, even though it was stress-inducing for both my little guy and me, I'm glad the B street team was there to help us through this! Some small cons to keep in mind is because they're one of the few places that take emergency walk-ins is that you'll probably be waiting for a long time. Each day just to bring him in, get his labs, and check-in with the Doctor to look at his results took about 4hrs. They operate via severity of cases so if it's just a re-check (like I was doing the last two days) it'll probably take a while to be seen, so just be prepared. Second, is there are only 3 parking spaces in front, with a fourth reserved for accessible parking. I drive a small car so I was always able to fit in the far off spot to the right, but just something to keep in mind. You'll probably need to park on the street. Lastly, there are no payment plans and fees need to be paid up front and you'll usually over pay a little bit (at least that's what was happening with me). I understand this is in case there is an unexpected concern they have to treat but since I was really low on funds, having to pay more than was strictly necessary was a little stressful. However, each day I had credit that carried over for the next set of treatments, and got a refund on the last day, so overall fees were lower and lower as his treatment went on. I thankfully had a lot of friends pitch in and was able to pay all his fees without any other issues. If you have care credit or available credit on another credit card, this shouldn't be a concern for you but if you're in a tight financial situation like me (I had just paid over $1k in car repairs and other big expenses...) it's just another thing to keep in mind. All of that said, again, everyone was still super nice and helpful throughout this and I hope the next time I stop by it's not for an emergency. Thank you all again from me and Mr. Fry

Referred by my neighbor I took my very sick cat Peter here. Waiting area was packed with customers but they saw me within an hour. Dr. Catala was very caring and detailed. He recommended to hospitalize Peter and after treating him that afternoon called me to bring him home for the night and back the next morning to see the Chief Vet Dr V. They both conferred and examined his blood work results & x-rays. Recommended an antibiotic for pneumonia, prebiotic and nausea meds. Peter has recovered and is getting back to himself. They both followed up with emails and phone calls. They gave me the best birthday gift this year. I can't thank them enough and I highly recommend B Street Clinic and their excellent team of vets and vet techs. Also they are truly dedicated to helping your furry friend and not about how much $$ they can make and taking advantage of you when you are upset & vulnerable. Their prices are reasonable and they try to minimize costs. I find that truly heartening. ❤

I went to this vet office this weekend because no other vet was open near by. I unfortunately had to put my little one down 😢. The doctor and staff that attended my little dude was extremely compassionate and caring. They even sent me a little momento to keep and always remember my dog. Thank you guys so much for your service and your compassion. You guys are amazing.

My cat had a great visit today. He was more at ease today, thanks to some pain medicine he got an hour before coming to the office. We met a different Doctor today and she was very gentle and accomodating with Tadashi.

Went here through a referral for a cat I have who had had a seizure just before Christmas. They got us in quickly, showed genuine concern about her well-being, and kept us updated throughout the day. Still no idea what caused the seizure and none since, so hopefully a one time thing. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone needing urgent care for their pet!
