How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Boston Veterinary Specialists
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.

No one wants their dog to have surgery but if you have a dog that needs surgery, BVS is where you want it done!! The ENTIRE staff will treat your dog with the most outstanding TLC imaginable. Dr Briere is AWESOME. She is very kind and caring and provided me with great insight on my havanese's injury (complete CCL rupture). I chose surgery so my 9 year old little guy will have a stronger leg to use as he ages. Thank you to the ENTIRE staff - you are the best ❤️🐶😊

I am new to this Veterinary group as I have followed my Vet here when she left her previous group. Highest marks! I was so stressed and concerned about my cat's symptoms, and felt a bit worried about not being able to be with him due to the COVID-19 protocols. During every step of the way, I was immediately put at ease! Olivia kindly filled out the form I hadn't filled out, showed so much care with my cat, and then my Vet quickly called me in my car, as she examined him. The whole process was incredibly seamless! First rate! Everyone who I have spoken with on the phone is friendly and very responsive. This is probably the hardest time due to COVID-19, to take care of a beloved animal at the Vet's. I can't say enough about them! Thank you All!!

The staff and service here is amazing. I will no longer take my dog anywhere else. We had a knee surgery done here for a large breed dog and they were super helpful with informing us about every step of the process. They had models of all the different surgeries and iPads to show us pictures. They showed us the before and after X-rays and did not skimp on repeated follow ups. Can't recommend them enough!

I can’t say enough good things about this place! I called frantically a few days ago because my dog tore her ACL and was having trouble walking. They were able to put me on a cancellation list and ended up getting me an appointment for surgery in less than a week! Everyone here has been so amazing every step of the way. I am so grateful for everyone here and I hope they know how much they are all appreciated. Thank you so much from Julie Steve & Camilla.

Very friendly and professional. My cats are always stressed out when going there,(maybe its the car ride) but the staff is always very good at handling them. They asked all the questions that need to be asked and recommend anything that they feel that my cat might need. Been going there 10+ years.
