How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Boston Veterinary Clinic

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.

Boston Veterinary Clinic saved my dog’s life yesterday and I will forever be indebted to the incredible staff there. My dachshund went into anaphylactic shock after being stung/bit by something at the park. In a panic, I drove him to the nearest veterinary clinic and thankfully, it was this one. I ran into the clinic holding my dog, incoherently babbling and begging them to see him. No questions asked, they brought us into a room and helped him immediately. Though they aren’t an emergency clinic, they didn’t hesitate to stabilize him for long enough to bring him to the MSPCA. Additionally, Boston Veterinary is not our primary provider. We moved to the city a few weeks ago and our primary is about an hour away. We had never been here before, and yet they didn’t take a second thought about helping an owner and their beloved pet in need. Aside from the medical care they provided, the staff’s professionalism is truly incredible. I can’t imagine how alarming it was to have a crying stranger burst through their door on a random afternoon, but the staff treated me with such kindness and respect. Even while my dog was in the back room, they gave me regular updates and helped calm me down, which certainly was not in any of their job descriptions LOL. I cannot thank the vet, technicians, and other employees enough. If you’re looking for a vet, GO HERE. The employees care very deeply about their patients and it shows. Plus, the place itself is very clean and quite beautiful! If I wasn’t in an absolute panic at the time, I would have definitely enjoyed being there a lot more. We ❤️ Boston Veterinary Clinic.

Dr. Lindsey was incredibly kind and gentle with both me and my puppy! She truly cares about the animals and their owners! She patiently answered all of my questions and I felt confident in the merit of her responses. My dog absolutely loves coming to BVC and we will certainly continue coming here.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We appreciated the patience and flexibility with our 2 dogs who came for the first time. The staff were very receptive and answered all of our questions. They put in place a plan for care, we as pup parents were comfortable and really listened to our asks. We appreciate all the staff and will continue to give our dogs the best care by going to Boston Veterinary Clinic at brookline.

Such a fantastic experience! Recently switched over from a different vet who had a very hard time managing my dog’s anxiety. Everyone here is very professional, calm and patient with anxious pups. My dog has been seen twice and they managed her anxiety so well. The location is very convenient and it’s in a brand new really nice space. Highly recommend!

They removed the cancer from my dog and she is in great shape and back to her normal self. That's worth 10 stars but I can only give 5. I came here as a new client having just moved into the area. Unfortunately, my first routine visit included concern about suspicious lumps on my dog Brook. Dr. G and the team took us in for surgery very quickly. They were incredibly kind and caring both pre, during and post surgery. They give printed sheets with information about care for the medications and pre/post surgical instructions which was very helpful because I find when I'm really stressed about something I cannot remember a single word someone tells me. They were also helpful when we had some post-surgery diarrhea and we got that under control. Overall, excellent experience. I trust this vet and staff deeply. They earned it. During every visit we were treated with kindness and patience, and they were so gentle and good with Brook. Brook honestly LOVES coming here. I think she would move in if she had the choice. Prices are on par with "MA city vet" prices. If you come from a different state or a rural area, it might surprise you, but for this area, its standard. Thank you Dr. G and BVC clinic for taking care of Brook!!
