How to Save Money at Boyd's Creek Animal Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

New puppy parents here just wanted to say Boyds creek animal hospital is amazing! The staff are so kind and sweet. They have went above and beyond to take care of our Sadie Belle. From working her in on a busy day when she was sick to phone calls just to check on her after vaccines they have supported us through it all. Dr. Marquis is absolutely the best she really loves and takes care of her patients. She has been a wealth of knowledge and takes the time to educate owners on animal care. Thank you so much for your passion and love for our fur baby!

I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Marquis and their staff are. I brought my cat Mo in after he had a very bad reaction to a shot by another clinic. From the time we walked in the door we were welcomed with so much attention and love. Dr. Marquis gave Mo the medications to counter act the shot that was given. She saved my cat's life. Although the negative shot did some damage to Mo, he can now function better than he was. It's been a long and scary road but they her and her staff brought so much healing, love and compassion to me and our family. If I could give her and this office a ten or more I would!!! Mo's recovery is a miracle and this is our new home. Becky Cacace

It’s obvious that the new doctor at this establishment is only there for the money, solely based on their pricing, and lack of compassion when dealing with patients, clients, and staff. The working conditions here are very poor, the staff is grossly under appreciated, and the turnover rate for support staff is high. Many of the support staff end up having partial to no breaks, and end up staying later into the evening (after closing) on a daily basis. This is due to poor time management of the managerial staff, being minimally staffed, and having lack of basic employment structure. It’s apparent that this establishment cares very little about retaining quality employees. The “medical director” and “office manager” have absolutely no experience in their positions, therefore the rest of the staff suffers greatly because of management’s inability to run a hospital. I will not recommend this hospital to anyone, and I’d have to say that I agree with the most recent negative reviews. Regardless of how low I’ve rated this “establishment”, the support staff is absolutely amazing. They are all very efficient, loving, and compassionate caregivers, who go above and beyond for each of their patients on an everyday basis.

My cat developed a mass in his nose and we went to see the doctor multiple times over the course of around 2 months. She was “unable” to figure out what was wrong with him and continued to schedule expensive visits to do x-rays & bloodwork despite those previously being done by another vet. After a few months I took my sweet boy to another vet. The vet from another practice was able to look at his and say that’s cancer… i had to put him down that day. The doctor is inexperienced, money-hungry and i have not been, and will not be, back with my other cat. Please do your animal a service and take them somewhere else.
