What you're paying for

A Message About Pricing and Value

Specialty and emergency veterinary medicine tends to be more expensive than your family vet. This is because we provide our patients with specialized care, which means we have in-house, state-of-the-art equipment and expert, board-certified specialists and experienced nursing staff who can handle the complex cases, including any medical or surgical issues, and life-threatening emergencies.

Our commitment shows in ongoing education and certifications, hands-on training, and a culture rooted in a profound love for animals. We invest in the latest technologies, rigorous protocols, and a collaborative, interdisciplinary team to ensure the best possible care.

These unique aspects of our hospital give us the ability to help our patients with an end goal of better outcomes for our patients, with fewer chance of complications. ​ Our approach provides families with real reassurance when they need it most, and we take the time to listen and explain options in plain terms so you can make informed decisions that meet the needs of your pet and your family.

Trupanion

An all-star pet insurance partner

While pet insurance helps reduce costs, many plans require you to settle the bill and submit invoices for reimbursement. Trupanion enables direct payment to participating veterinary hospitals, so you’re responsible only for your deductible and any non-covered portions. Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital participates in this program, and we encourage you to secure coverage before an emergency arises.

Remember: insurance only covers care if you had an active policy beforehand. Plan ahead and don’t wait to apply during an emergency, as it won’t be covered.

Visit Trupanion to learn more and apply.

ScratchPay
