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.

Getting 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.

I love this place. They are always so good with my puppy daughter. Also, they are very thorough and knowledgeable. My puppy girl can be temperamental with strangers. However, she always seems at ease with this staff. I love that they follow up and seem to truly care about pets. They also have a good system for visits. Great place to take your furry fambam.

This was one of the worst vets I’ve ever had the displeasure of visiting. I would give it 0 stars if I could. I just want to say right out the gate: PLEASE do not take your babies here. They have no real interest in helping them; they are only looking to price gouge you. I brought my cat here after several negative experiences with another vet prior, and Banfield was only concerned with things not correlated to the problems she had been having, which were urinary. They asked if she had an updated rabies shot— we said she didn’t. They accepted her anyway and tried to retrieve a urine sample, but the vet was bitten in the process and afterwards, she complained that we then needed to pay for the cat to get her rabies shot. It would have made more sense to just turn us away or insist that the rabies shot would be the first thing administered in order to have a look at the cat for what she was brought in for. After that trouble, they never ended up retrieving the urine sample, and told us to take home nonabsorbent litter to retrieve a sample ourselves and bring it back in. This didn’t end up happening and my cat’s condition only continued to worsen, so she was taken elsewhere and by then she was on the brink of death seemingly overnight. I did end up losing my cat, ultimately. Banfield failed her and I think I did too, for entrusting them with her health. I’m begging you to save your time and money and avoid asking the actual monkeys that run this place to help you and your beloved pet, because they are simply incapable of doing so, and will send you in a roundabout in order to take you for as much as they can.

I brought my dog in for an exam last week to a different Banfield location and they did a full exam. But he's been peeing abnormally the past few days, so I brought him in today to this location to check his urine. But when I arrived, I was told that the doctor is out to lunch, so I'd have to drop him off and come back later. When I asked how long it would take, since I drove quite a ways to come to this appointment, I was told at least three hours because there were three animals ahead of mine. So I went to get something to eat and stopped back several hours later and was told that there were still three other animals ahead of mine and that it would still be several hours and that they hadn't even collected the urine sample yet. So my skittish dog has been sitting in a cage somewhere having to pee for hours because I tried to make sure he'd have a urine sample ready when I brought him in. And when I expressed that to the front staff, they didn't seem to care. It's a shame, I had a great experience at the other Banfield location, but this one I would not recommend at all if you can help it. And as I was waiting, I overhead the vet tech tell someone on the phone that this clinic is mostly drop-off, just so everyone else doesn't have to go through the same thing unnecessarily. I also overhead several people come in and say they can never get a hold of anyone at the clinic. I never tried to call so I can't speak on that, but figured I would include that as well.

I've never had any problems with Banfield. Had a cat who passed from old age, and no problems. I now have a Shitzu terrier dog (I think) who has been going to Banfield since I got her as a puppy; appr 12 year old now, and have had no problems at all. Everyone is nice and appears to really care about the pets they take care of. AND I get no negative comments about how my little one reacts when seeing the vet, except for her being a little squirmy at times. Thank you Banfield.

ANSWER THE PHONES!! You have to call 5-10 times in a row to get someone to answer if you're lucky...Website it's over a month out for appointments but if you get to speak to someone they are able to get you in within 10 days. Which make calling them even more frustrating when they do not answer. Service is great once you finally get through.
