How to Save Money at Banfield Pet 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.

if you care about your animals do not take them to this location. i came in i because i thought my cat has been having an asthma attack once a day for the past week. i showed a video the doctor came did the wellness exam said her breathing sounds “normal” her neck does NOT look extended out ( see the picture below yes it does ) i went home and she proceeded to have 5 asthma attacks in one day. ( see the picture of her struggling to breathe during the attack ) i made an appointment at else where (follow your intuition owners and advocate for your pet) i showed a video immediately diagnosed with asthma. i could not imagine if i let her continue having asthma attacks or possibly not breathe thinking she was okay due to their exam. they brush you off as i see many comments below saying.

Not a fan of Banfield in the past few yrs. Never have the same Veterinarian. The techs are not that friendly. Our last visit they brought our dog to us and had forgotten to give her shots and one other medication. We do not like that they do everything in the back now. What happened to seeing your pet in the room with you? Why do they push for drop off appointments instead of in person? Do they not like to interact with the customer anymore?

We had a very good experience with this Banfield location. It was the first time that we have visited a Banfield, and they were able to squeeze us in at the last minute. We had recently adopted a rescue cat, and when we got her home, she became sick. Other vets that I called were at least a week out with open appointments. We went into the store late in the afternoon and spoke with the front desk person, who, despite being very busy, was able to give us an appointment the next day. The visit itself was great, and the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Our kitty is doing well now, and we will certainly be using this Banfield for our other pets. To the staff, thank you so much for everything.

I took my dog to Banfield Hospital. No one counseled with me. I thought that my dog might have Cushings disease. If the doctor would have met with me before getting a test for Cushings disease, maybe she could have seen if she had any other symptoms of another problem. Instead, they took her to have her tested for the disease, without talking with me or seeing if she even was a candidate to have the test done. A few hours passed, the receptionist called out my name, told me the charges and handed me my dog. No doctor spoke with me about my dog. Not even the next day! The receptionist told me that the doctor who did the test on my dog, no longer works there. I called within the next few days for the doctor in charge and she said the test was negative and that was it. So strange on how everything went. So vague and disorganized. I would have liked her to observe my dog’s symptoms, and ask me questions about my dog and tell me what she thought. Determine if I should have had the test done on my dog or if she saw any other underlying conditions that could be causing her discomfort. I am not a doctor, but I thought maybe my dog had Cushings disease, so I took her to the appointment. They just took her, had her tested for Cushings disease because I thought it might be that disease. Then afterwards gave me my dog and charged me a lot of money. I was left hanging with no doctor to see me with my dog. My dog still pees all over my house often. I wish the doctor would have consulted with me. Maybe she could have helped my dog and go a different direction in her care.

I had a very disappointing experience at this vet clinic. From the moment the nurse called us back, her attitude was rude and dismissive. She didn’t acknowledge my dog at all—not even a hello or a gentle gesture. Instead, she just bluntly asked, “So what’s going on?” which immediately made me feel uneasy. I was already hesitant about coming here because of the negative reviews, and now I understand why they exist. The staff should be kind and reassuring, especially when dealing with pets and their concerned owners. I would never feel comfortable letting my dog go alone in the back with people who show such little care or compassion. I ultimately decided to walk out before even seeing the doctor. I can’t trust my pet’s care to a place where respect and empathy seem to be lacking. I strongly urge other pet owners to consider this before making an appointment.
