How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Tufts Veterinary Emergency Treatment & Specialties

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.

Consider pet insurance

A week ago Friday night we rushed Reilly into Tufts. It was 11:00 at night his breathing was very shallow and had a problem walking and wouldn’t eat all day. We called and they met us outside the door. After a few tests, they told us he had pneumonia and was not well. He ended up staying 4 nights in an oxygenated incubator. His oxygen levels were finally high enough to let him come home. We went and visited every day. The nurse’s and Dr Chevalla were extremely caring, very knowledgable and let us know what was going on every step of the way. Reilly will be 11 in January and went from 0-100 in just days under their care. We will be forever grateful.

Love this place! The doctor we had for our baby girl was so good. She did everything she could to save us money. She knew a million tests weren't gonna help and gave us real options. They did what was necessary and our girl is doing just fine. Back to normal. Thank you, Tufts!

My small long haired chi, Romeo, has been seeing the internal medicine specialists at Tufts for a few years now. We originally saw Dr. Langer but now see Dr. Christine Savidge. She has been absolutely wonderful and has provided amazing, highly tailored, top notch care for my medical dumpster fire of a dog. It is extremely important to me that my pup receives the best medical treatment and I am confident I am receiving just that. Highly recommend! The front staff and vet techs are awesome as well! Every experience we have had with Tufts has been great.

My dog's blood work & urinalysis came back (after he was acting very lethargic with blood in his urine) from our local vet and it was not good. I was told "he needs to go to the emergency vet immediately..." His kidneys were failing. I had only two choices and off to Tufts we went. I cannot even describe the panic and heart break I was feeling. This hospital was absolutely amazing! Calls multiple times a day with updates, photos of my pup, and the absolute best care from the staff there. He ultimately needed two rounds of kidney dialysis, which saved his life. He was treated for Leptospirosis (even though the titers kept coming back negative with no markers) his symptoms were identical. Whatever caused this was some bacterial infection and their swift decision to treat him for that immediately is the other reason he is still here. He was only 3.5 years old. So after 10 days of inpatient care, he was able to come home to me and I cannot put into words my gratitude for all their expertise and compassion.

Dr. Wood, Dr. Viani, Dr. Gebbie and the surgery team took extremely good care of our dog. They treated our dog like their own and the nurses went out of their way to keep our dog comfortable and even gave her a smorgasbord of food to try to get her to eat. They are heros here, and do wonderful work.
