We adopted our first Boston Terrier puppy 11 years ago, and we knew there would be vet visits in the future. We were taken aback by how costly veterinary care can be, so we’d like to share some of our money-saving techniques with you. Our most recent visit cost $332, which I’ll discuss in this post so that you know what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the United States, the average vet visit costs between $45 and $55, and does not include any extra tests. Fecal examinations, which check for parasites and worms, average $25 to $45.<\/strong> Annual blood panel tests for senior dogs costs between $90 and $110 on average.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important thing to remember is that veterinarian charges can vary wildly by region and even in the same city. Plus, there are just some vets that are exceptions to the rules and offer extraordinary care ensuring all demographics of pet owners get the care their pets need. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vet Visit Savings Tip #1 – Preventative Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By far, the number one way to save on veterinarian bills for your dog is to keep them healthy! Well-pet visits are way less expensive than visits with a sick pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boston Terriers are brachycephalic (flat-faced), which can lead to health issues, so they should have preventative health checks every year. This yearly visit should include a wellness exam and vaccinations. That is a $60-128 visit in our area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should also be on heartworm and flea\/tick preventatives as well. Our Symparica Trio is $26\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
