How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bulger 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.

Consider pet insurance

I cant express how thankful I am for your hospital, saving my little Chewbert’s life! In the middle of a big move moving from the East Coast to the West Coast, you guys saved my chewy and made sure he was able to come home and go on this road trip with me! I am thankful for what you did to save my dogs life ! Forever thankful! Going so far is taking my dog out to see the apocalypse and making sure he had little glasses on is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard in my life🙏 YOUR STAFF IS AMAZING AND MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SO THANKFUL 🙏 -My dog was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and they got him stable and breathing comfortably.

I had to take my 4-year-old fur baby, Scribbles here for an emergency visit. The Veterinarian who took care of my cat was amazing. She was patient with me, as I was distraught and barely functioning. She clearly explained how sick she was and all the possibilities of the quality of life that Scribbles would have for each option we had, none of them would be without her suffering. And when our family chose to put her to sleep she helped reassure us it was OK and the right choice. She was caring, and straightforward with facts but also empathetic.

While being extremely upset about your pets illness and then on top of it. Spending a day calling local vets and told the only people that can help would be this place and have them tell you to figure out payment before the health of the pet goes to show they don’t love the animals . They don’t care if it’s an emergency… they care about you making sure you’re gonna pay them before they help you … it’s a shame that vets don’t actually love animals. They just want your money they over charge and suggest things you don’t need instead of doing the right thing and helping an animal in crisis… meet Brutus… he got turned away today cause I’m disabled and don’t get paid till the third…. He will probably die in my arms in pain and suffering because my life was hard before him and he kept me going and I can’t even return the love.

These people care about what they are doing. They have a very knowledgeable staff. And they are there to help you as much as they possibly can. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for helping me with my dog. He does feel much better now after visiting you.

Really disappointed that this so called emergency vet wouldn’t even see our new cat without animal control holding her for 7 days. Not even to tell us her age or sex. Vets have a duty of care regardless of the animal’s status and this was really sad and upsetting to be literally turned away. We found a stray cat that we want to adopt; they wouldn’t test her for parasites, infections, or even examine a cut she had without animal control holding her for 7 DAYS first. What if she had been in critical condition? What if we weren’t willing to hold on to her until animal control opened two days later? They really should be ashamed of that callousness towards an innocent cat. For all we know, she could be someone’s missing pet. Editing my review to reply to the erroneous response below: my cat was NOT seen through your emergency center as you refused to see her. Animal control has stated there is no 7 day holding policy for cats. So I still cannot understand why you refused to see her. Emergent care is needed for strays regardless of status before being brought into a person’s home who already has a cat ( as I do, as stated to your staff). She has no microchip and has been posted in several community groups and by the MSPCA. Due diligence is being done, but you wouldn’t even look at her to treat a cut she had or deworm her in the meantime. Shameful. Don’t lie about “laws”, what laws are you following here?
