How to Save on Veterinary Costs at WestVet Boise 24/7 Animal Emergency & Specialty Center

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.

Thank you to the staff for the compassion they not only showed my husband and i but to our sweet little guy. We lost our Dashell suddenly at 3:30 am the 9th, i called and was given information on what to do. Once we arrived they helped us navigate the cremation process, getting his paw prints , nose prints plus fur and allowing us time to properly say goodbye. The vet tech working was so kind with how she handled him from softly petting his head and playing with his ear which he always loved. So thank you

This post is mainly for the facility. It's been almost a week but my dog is good now no thanks to westvet. I went here cause my dog had bad GI. As I wasn't sure what to do at the time, it was late at night while she was pooping blood. Decided to go here knowing it's an expensive place. It would be better off if they told me to go home and let her skip a meal and feed her boiled chicken and rice but in small portions and progress it later on. No, I had to look up things myself since the directions I was giving seemed to focus on the royal canine GI wet food when she showed no interest for it. Going there felt like another day for them taking another dog in. To leave with only a blood drawn (which I was grateful knowing the test came back great and breathing was good) and paying $670 just for her to get an enormous cyst on her neck that was infected giving her a 104 fever. Turned to be a bigger problem for myself and my dog.

Hazel Nut injured her back and I came here for a second opinion. All the staff at West Vet have been amazing. They responded quickly and listened to my concerns. Dr. Mooney and Amanda on the Neurology team are the best. Dr. Mooney explains everything fully and is a great surgeon. All the front desk staff have also been super great to work with. Great place for competent care on pet emergencies.

I don't know where to start, sadly I lost both my sweet babies this year. My sweat baby dog Sierra (14 1/2 Yrs) in July and my sassy kitty girl Emily (19 Yrs) just last Friday the day after Thanksgiving. It has been extremely difficult without my babies but I was so very luck to have them for so many wonderful years, WestVet was so compassionate and caring. Both my babies had strokes and there wasn't anything to be done at their age but to let them cross the rainbow bridge and not suffer. Both times WestVet made the most horrible experience the best they possibly could, thank you for all you did during such an awful time in our lives we truly appreciate your kindness!!!

Absolutely hands down 100% competent and it shows! .... Dr. Walker and the entire staff did an outstanding job on both our fur babies! I wouldn't go anywhere else. When my little lady (yes, my mother even says.. Lola is not a dog, she's a little lady) needed some major dental work. I was worried beyond belief... But after my initial visit with Dr. Walker I walked out knowing Lola would be in GREAT hands. A year later when our other little lady (Coco) needed major dental work. I knew EXACTLY where to go! .... West Vet on Chinden Blvd! Mind you all, Lola is 14 years old and 2.2 lbs. at 14 years, she is very active and eats everything. The procedure made a HUGE difference on her. I see the same in Coco. They both recovered 100%. They are family members of our pack! Would I recommend them? .... Absolutely... YES! To Dr. Walker and the entire staff.... Thank you! I will forever be indebted to you!
