How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Box Elder Vet Clinic

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

Great vet! Very competent, kind, respectful, helpful, and ethical. His prices are very fair. Some other vet clinics in and around RC seem to care more about getting rich than the animals, but that is not how he is.

Very rude and unprofessional vet techs. They schedule you, and then don’t get to you till 30+ minutes after your scheduled appointment was supposed to be. I have never had them take my dogs back to do vaccinations before until today. The vet tech came in and was very rude and disrespectful and told me it will now be a while. I said, “so if I let you take him back there to get the shots he can do it now, but if I stay here in the room, I have to wait?” She said yes. I told her that doesn’t make sense. I want to make sure the vet actually does an exam on my dog. I’m not going to pay $15 for an exam if the doctor isn’t going to do an exam and just give the shots. I told her it sounded very suspicious.

I have been using the vet clinic in Box Elder for some time now. They are very professional, caring and the doctor is very good at explaining what's going on with your fur baby. I just love them.
