How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Banfield Pet Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

This place is probably fine for vaccines and routine work, but if your pet is sick, I recommend taking them somewhere else. There are better places with similar price points in the area. We took our cat here when he was sick and the first visit with Dr. Spangler was amazing. She clearly explained and prepped us for possible outcomes. However, there is a clear lack of communication skills in this office. We were scheduled for the wrong kind of follow up appointment, charged for things they didn’t perform, and when we finally got him in for surgery with another Dr there, they almost killed my cat. I took him to another vet that actually let me speak with the Dr before the procedure instead of playing telephone. We ultimately had to put our baby down, but it was for something that should have been caught/communicated to us when he was seen at Banfield for his last appointment there. Because we had to switch vets, it cost us thousands on top of the “care plan” Banfield locked us into for a year. So now I’m stuck here paying monthly vet costs with a dead cat. Do better.

Dr. Lia Gross is the best! She takes excellent care of all of our animals, knows them name name and is always glad to see us when we come. The office staff and vet techs are phenomenal and know exactly how to love on your fur babies. I wouldn’t think of taking my animals anywhere else but there! Thank you for always taking care of us.

We have been taking our golden to Banfield for 12 years, three different locations around the country. He has been going to this location and has been seen by three different vets over the last eight years. Our dog was really sick the last four weeks of his life and he was in and out of the office numerous times, we had to let him go! We chose in home euthanasia. We had informed Banfield of our decision. AND We have not heard from or talked to this Banfield?! What a disappointment! Not a phone call or a card with condolences and or a THANK YOU for supporting this office!! When and if we get another pup we will be looking for another Vet!

Banfield Pet Hospital continually exceeds our expectations! Caring quality care, they've always taken great care of our dog whether it be for wellness exams or surgical procedures. Mostly recently they removed a cyst on our dogs eyelid, healed up completely in two weeks, can't even tell she had the procedure now. Happy healthy dog!

Dr Spangler, Claire and all the staff have been wonderful. We have 2 old ladies and its been a journey but with their help they are beautiful and still with us and we are cherishing every moment we can with them. Thank you to the team for all they do.
