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

We've been searching for a vet that our 3 cats and 1 dog could go to for long term care preventative care. Our previous vet wasn't as compassionate or professional as they once were. The dynamics changed over there since COVID, and we needed to find a new place. We found Blue Cross Animal Hospital from a simple Google search and even from just the first initial call to set things up, everyone was super nice and friendly and willing to help us. The staff are so quick to respond to emails too! We love all the staff here and they are so sweet and compassionate. Dr. Jarvi and Dr. Mack are some of the best and most compassionate doctors we've ever seen. They are very gentle with our pets. We haven't had the chance to work with the other doctors yet, but we are certain they are of the same caliber. On countless occasions, we've had urgent problems with our cats that we needed to address and BCAH has been there to assist every time. Even if they were super busy, they found a way to get us in for a walk-in just so our cat was taken care of. That's truly amazing. I could say so much more about how well BCAH has treated us and our pets, but I will avoid turning this into a book. Thank you so, so much for all you folks do to service our animals! We are loyal customers now because you are loyal to our pets and their wellbeing!

Brought my 4 year old rescue pitbull this morning after two biting incidents. I’ve only had him for 6 months and his aggression is new as of about 2 months ago. Got lots of great information on further steps and I learned lots of ways to handle his aggression. After talking with them, I have changed my mind on putting him to sleep and we are going to attempt training and some medications to see if we can regulate his anxiety. The staff were very calm in dealing with him as he hates new people, small spaces, and anything in between. The ladies showed me how to be confident when he is stubborn and to ignore his attempts to be scary. They did not critique me and our handlings at all and we felt very safe going there and will definitely be going back for his bloodwork exam. They cleared a path for him walking in and out of the building as well.

Wonderful place to bring your pet! I was very concerned and the staff were super friendly, accommodating and helpful. Seriously, between the two days I was there recently I must have interacted with 5-6 employees and everyone was so nice. The vet explained things to me in a way I understood and told me the “why” which helps me greatly. You can tell these people really care. They were also very transparent about cost and the price was reasonable. Highly recommend!

Great experience at our annual wellness visit for our cat,Clyde at Blue Cross Animal Hospital. All of the staff are friendly,caring, and knowledgeable. Dr. Sarah Bourn was very thorough in her exam. I appreciated receiving a call from her the next day with Clyde’s test results. Clyde was happy too and gave the Dr a little head bump!😊
