Skip to contentIf you’ve read about us, you know that we have been proud owners of a pair of Boston Terriers, Bridgette and Ryder.Recently we went through a health crisis with Bridgette that ended with euthanasia. In just four short weeks we went from exam to the rainbow bridge with her.As a tribute to her, we wanted to transparently share what the veterinary costs were in order that other pet owners would see the reality of vet costs, rather than be scared of “what might be”.Consider this a case study for the vet costs of a sick dog from a real-life experience.On November 1st, we decided...…Skip to contentIf you’ve read about us, you know that we have been proud owners of a pair of Boston Terriers, Bridgette and Ryder.Recently we went through a health crisis with Bridgette that ended with euthanasia.

Skip to contentWe 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.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. Annual blood panel tests for senior dogs costs between $90 and...…Skip to contentWe adopted our first Boston Terrier puppy 11 years ago, and we knew there would be vet visits in the future.

Skip to contentIt never occurred to me to ask if dogs are color blind. A recent conversation sent me into research mode.Boston Terriers, like all dogs, are red-green colorblind but are not limited to seeing only in black and white. Their rod-dominant eyes only have two types of cones, dichromatic, allowing them to distinguish yellows and blues. Reds and blues are seen as shades of yellow and grey. Dog vision is also less detailed than human vision.I had a friend ask if Boston Terriers are color blind. Oh no, is there something weird about the eyes of Boston Terriers? Here’s what I found...…Skip to contentIt never occurred to me to ask if dogs are color blind.
