How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Blue Cross 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

I love Blue Cross. My sister uses them for her fur babies as well. Staff is super friendly. My little kitties were an unplanned surprise. My aunt's neighbor has "outdoor" cats. Well, they didn't spay or neuter so... babies. Of course I had to bring them home as soon as I could. Blue cross got me in right away for their first appointment within 2 days. I think everyone working that day had to see the trio of small fluffy adorables and coo over them. Licorice, Pumpkin and Anchovy are doing fantastic and adjusting well to living the "indoor" cat life. Licorice is still a bit wary of the hoomans, but if you can catch her, she sure does like the chin rubs. HA! *pic for kitten cuteness*

Took our 7 week old pup to Blue Cross after hearing such good things about their service. Staff is friendly, vet was great, cost even better. Very happy with Blue Cross. Uodate: Our pup is now 1.5 years, she has had all her shots, her micro-chipping and spaying through Blue Cross. Still could not be more pleased.

We have been seeing Blue Cross for a few months. The veterinary was professional. We in for a follow up blood work on time for our appointment. I the pleasure of sitting in the lobby for 30 minutes with no services. Staff was absolutely no help. I had to reschedule and he said they have an opening tomorrow. I asked will be another half hour wait? He said i am not sure. Great customer service

Everyone in there were friendly and try their best to make me feel good when I brought my sick dog to them. The Dr. took his time to examine/ evaluate and explain the condition of my dog. Thank you to all of you.

My gal pal’s dad’s little 13-year-old Chihuahua was not eating. He was quite concerned, since the dog’s a nice companion, after losing his wife 3 years ago. We decided on Monday that we definitely needed to take “Sparrow” to a vet. Her dad called Sparrow’s normal Vet, they were understanding, but couldn’t squeeze in an emergency appointment. I then decided to try Blue Cross Animal Hospital. We had taken her dog there several years ago, and were very pleased with the care he received. Unfortunately, they were also booked, but the gal at the front desk gave me the number to an emergency clinic in Southfield. I thanked her, and was getting into my vehicle to drive back to her dad’s house, grab Sparrow, and head to Southfield, when the gal from the front desk came out and flagged me down, and said they just got a cancellation, and they could get Sparrow in at 11:00am. So, I went back to her Dad’s house, grabbed everybody and back we went. The Doctor was very kind, understanding, and thorough. He ordered all blood work to be done in house for speed and determined that Sparrow was not only anemic, but also had an intestinal issue (no blockage, the doctor ordered X-rays) and a stomach virus, along with acid reflux. The doctor prescribed several medications, and within a couple days, you could tell Sparrow was feeling better, he was at least eating a little bit; And, by the end of the 10 days of medication, he was back to his old feisty self again. Thanks to all the Doctors and Staff at Blue Cross Animal Hospital!!! I’m pretty sure their actions saved my gal pal’s dad’s little buddies life!!!
