How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Blue Mountain Veterinary

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.

Thee entire staffing at Blue Mountain Veterinary are amazing, compassionate, professional, fantastic crew. I found Blue Mountain from word of mouth. They have supercede what was told to me. My animals this year ,several of them have had major health issues back to back due to old age or my foster animals coming to us in disarray and without repor Blue Mountain Veterinary spent 3 months 💙 in a row. Helping me keep their health and well being. I, especially, appreciate when my sister passed suddenly and I had to leave the state . They kept my animals until I could send someone to pick them up . I thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️ for your caring and the best Veterinarian care I have received since leaving my hometown. And there it was my best friend who was our Veterinarian. Pam holds the fort down like no other. I missed her while she was on vacation but so thankful she had a good time. Pam's patience organization and just down right friendliness helps soothe many of us uptight pet owners. I've never had a chance to meet the doctors but by their absolute 💯 professionalism and skills I will never go anywhere else. Thank you again and I will always spread the word 🙏🏾 to all about the great care a person's animal will receive from Blue Mountain Veterinary.

I can’t say enough about this facility. I recently had my 14 year old emotional support dog put to sleep due to old age and medical issues which was extremely emotional for me. The staff was incredibly compassionate and understanding. I am so grateful. They even sent me a card after. Rates are fair and service is top notch.

An amazing veterinarian clinic and hospital. One of my dogs had an acute health issue. The veterinary care was first class. In addition Dr Ferguson and all the staff welcomed our visits during the hospitalization which together, I believe, led to full recovery. The staff is friendly and caring of all my dogs, and me, as well

Very dirty office. What looked like blood or some other fluid on the table. It smelt and looked like the floors/etc. hadn’t been cleaned in some time. Office was great at getting us rescheduled. Gal at the desk was very friendly and for the short time we actually saw the dr…he seemed nice. However, we were sent to a dirty room where we waited over 30 minutes before the vet came in. The appointment was for our foster to get shots, he came in and almost instantly gave the vaccines. There wasn’t any inquiry on how he’s doing, no temp taken, etc. I had mentioned he came to us with a double ear infection and I wasn’t sure how they were healing….doctor barley looked in his ears and said ‘looks fine to me.’ That was the extent of our visit. Currently taking him to our personal vet to have more proper care as the smell & constant head shaking would suggest that his ears are not ‘fine.’ {{{UPDATE: He in fact has a really bad double ear infection which was confirmed instantly by our personal vet. Very disappointed.}}} This could be from a miscommunication from the rescue to the vet, but I was very disappointed in the quickness of the interaction and the cleanliness of the office.
