How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bend Animal Emergency and Specialty 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

It is very difficult to find emergency exotic pet care, and I hope someday to be able to have ER care for them. I volunteer at our local rabbit rescue and it is an ongoing problem for both the rescue and the adopters. I am so thankful Dr. Bunting was willing to see my bunny tonight. Bunnies are such delicate pets, and you can lose them very quickly. Dr. Bunting was able to triage Basil's possible GI stasis or blockage, so that I would know if it was safe to force fed him until I could see my regular rabbit vet tomorrow. (Rabbits need to continually eat - you cannot fast them, even before surgery. If a rabbit stops eating, it can be life-threatening.) We were also able to give him subcutaneous fluids to help with dehydration. A few hours after we got home, he finally started to eat and move around again. I believe the care we received helped Mr. Basil turn that corner and start feeling better. I've had veterinarians refuse to see rabbits before, so I was very afraid that my bunny would take a turn for the worse if we didn't get fluids and an xray. Without care, you can lose a bunny who stops eating and goes into stasis within 12 -24 hours, so I am very fortunate I got the care we needed. Thank you so much for caring!

Our dog broke his jaw while camping in the area. We called ahead and then brought our pup in. We were treated wonderfully and they took great care of our boy. They were quicker than most emergency vets, compassionate and explained everything extremely well, including the options and their risks. It was the most impressive emergency vet we have ever been to and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area.

This is the SECOND time within 2 years Bend Animal Emergency has saved my dog's life. Each time I expressed my financial constraints and concerns. Their response? Absolute kindness, NO judgment and transparency. They let me know ahead of time the range of cost and what my options are. My dog had to have emergency surgery and after care. Both surgeons, Vet Technicians and Receptionists went ABOVE and beyond to be kind, communicative and patient with me while I was in distress. This was at 1:00 AM mind you! They treated my senior dog for 4 days at the Hospital and cared for him as if he were their own. During that time they were in constant communication with me and looked after him 24/7. If your pet is in a crisis like mine was and you aren’t sure what your options are, Bend Animal Emergency is the answer. The facility is clean, the staff are very SKILLED and professional. Thank you Bend Animal Emergency for saving my boy (again). - Parker & Rachel

I was so thankful that this facility was open during a recent trip to Bend with my dog. She acquired a limp during one of the hikes we did and I was able to take her in at 7AM on a Sunday for a once over. They took care of her and kept me up to date, all while dealing with the actual emergencies that were coming in. The cost breakdown seemed quite reasonable compared to her standard vet and they had meds on site so I was able to leave with everything I needed. Added bonus- it's in a comfortable parking lot so I didn't feel weird about reading in my car for a couple hours. Thank you!
