How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Boothbay Animal 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

Chewie had been crying for about a half an hour Monday 3/13 morning after coming inside. (Prior, I had given him an edible Nyla bone. I was thinking a shard broke off, was stuck or lodged somewhere causing him pain. I was currently out of town with the vehicle and Scott was home with the kids so Carrie out of the kindness of her heart came to get Chewie. Dr. Dean saw no visible piece on the x-rays. Thank the Lord. He was given some meds while there to make him comfortable and then sent home. We monitored Chewie overnight and he was still crying from time to time. I called BBAH right away in the morning and got Chewie in. More, x rays, barium test, and blood work complete. Turns out our poor pup had pancreatitis. Treatable with medications and changed diet. On his stay the second day he was given fluids by IV. We picked Chewie at the end of the day with a bandage on his leg (to protect the line and a cone on his head) ...his name is CHEWIE. The third day Chewie was improving. I had taken off his cone so he could go to the bathroom and low and behold I found him on the porch chewing on his port. He took it out. I immediately called BBAH to ask what to do next. Lorie and Carrie came to the house and removed the rest of the IV line. Chewie was all smiles to see them! Thank you all so very much from the bottom of our hearts. We don't know what we would have done without our Dog-dog. Another big thank you from Paws For A Cause for helping as well!
