How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bushwick Veterinary Center

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

Everyone working there was so kind and helpful. My dog can't be around other dogs and they were extremely accommodating and understanding, and made sure we got into and out of the office without interaction with other animals. My dog hates getting vaccines but they kept it quick and painless. Extremely low stress as far as vet visits go for my sweet pup. $300 for the vet visit, a stool sample exam, and 3 vaccines. On the pricier side in general but very inexpensive for New York (unfortunately lol).

This vet office is terrible! They claim to “work with rabbits”, but my experience says otherwise. Over the span of a month they could not diagnose my rabbit. I switched to a new vet clinic and my rabbits issue gets diagnosed in ONE DAY! I can’t even make this up. Their communication is horrible. I tried to call the vet to ask questions and I was ignored/left on hold for 30 minutes. When the vet finally called me back he let me know that my case wasn’t his priority. They are unprofessional and took a ton of money from me to not even solve my problem. Thank you so so much for this eye opening experience.

I honestly can’t believe the level of care given to our Pomeranian by every employee at Bushwick Veterinary Center. He had a complication with a risky surgery, and he was given 24 hour nurse care who sent us text messages with photos and updates about his progress. They had someone come to our home to provide him with fluids and check in on him when he came home. The amount of love every single employee expressed for him and to him honestly made me cry. After a week of getting check-in calls every day, our little Toby is good as new. I could not recommend this facility more highly. The vet, Dr. Taie, the nurses, techs, the folks answering phones… everybody made this very difficult situation so much better. I honestly believe the amount of love our little guy received, apart from wonderful medical care, helped him heal faster and better. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

Dr. Taie is a one of a kind vet with a heart of gold. Not only is he a top-notch medical practitioner but he genuinely has love and deep compassion for all living creatures. Every time we walk into Bushwick Vet I know we are in good hands, even in the most challenging situations. He cares for every animal like it’s his own, and I am so grateful to call him our vet.

These people are thieves, lol. Went to annual appointment, where they didn’t tell me to bring a fecal sample, they made me pay for it (which I discovered only later, when in fact the nurse had told me they had removed that charge from my bill) then receptionist told me I can keep it in the fridge for up to 30 days and sent me off. I come back a month later, with a fecal sample 3.5 days old that I also put in the fridge right away, they told me that A) sample wasn’t good anymore (now suddenly the thirty days became 1 day or up to 24h if in the fridge) B) that I had to pay AGAIN for the service that I DID NOT get, C) refused to run that service with the sample I gave them and that I had already paid for. They did not listen to reason while they are the ones who clearly miscommunicated (told me the wrong expiration date for the fecal sample, omitted to tell me that I had to come back within a certain date AND refused to run the service I already PAID for). Don’t care about the stupid double entry for cats and dogs, if you guys are just stealing money and incompetent in communicating. 🙅🏻‍♀️
