How to Save Money at Animal Doctor Blue Hills
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.

Recently, my late Mother's Chihuahua Edie, needed dental surgery. Edie had spent about 8 years on Mom's lap and was the very best companion. Edie had 12 teeth removed at the Blue Hills location. When I came to check on Edie, a staff member was holding Edie and had her bundled up. Edie was receiving the very best care and it was so apparent that the staff attended to Edie's comfort. Our family is so grateful. Edie now is on a big adventure as she lives her very best life. She is traveling and now has a wardrobe complete with goggles! Thank you Animal Doctor Blue Hills, you have my sincere thanks and business. The Meyer Family

We took our 12 year old fur baby in not sure of the outcome but not expecting the worst.The veterinarians were very attentive, loving and gentle . I believe they knew the outcome but was doing their best for us and our pup to find an answer but our pup decided it was time before the veterinarian could even get started. It was an unexpected shock when they said she had passed but I wanted to thank all the staff for being so understanding and caring while we grieved . We believe coco waited until she was in their arms to take her last breathe because she knew we weren’t strong enough to see it . Thank you all for being with coco and loving her in her last minutes 😭🫶

We love using Blue Hills Hospital for our dog Duke! When we moved here he suffered from a skin infection and Dr. Estes made sure she covered every basis to get him cleared up. We were very frequent visitors and every tech we worked with made us a priority. We started using their grooming services as well! Friendly staff and they have always been able to get us an appointment quickly and in our schedule.
