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.

Dropped off my dog at this location for a routine wellness exam after four hours and three calls I was told by the receptionist that my dog has not been seen yet by the vet and that it usually takes 2-4 hours for drop offs. When explaining to them that I dont expect a rush visit as a paying customer I do expect for my pet to be seen and ready within a reasonable amount of time when explaining to them that it has been over four hours I was also told that they prioritize pets based on need while I understand that logic if that's the case then they shouldn't offer appointments to people if they cannot commit to having your pet seen in a reasonable amount of time. Its inhumane that they have my dog in a kenel Also do not answer phone during work hours and says office is closed

Arrived for 3:00 pm scheduled appointment ( arrived 10 minutes early) with my cat. Left at 4:30 pm. Never had to wait for so long for a doctor in other Banfield hospitals. Additionally, my cat is a 10 year male old ragdoll. He weights 18 lbs. Dr. Maldonado claimed he is obese. Iam sorry but it’s BS and ANY cats encyclopedia/ or simply google tell you that for 10 yo Male ragdoll average weight is 15-20lbs. Their bodies are very long. Ragdolls are one of the largest cat’s breeds and it a well-known fact. So NO, he is not obese, no need to compare him with some common shorthair breed. I don’t understand why they don’t teach doctors anything about how different breeds of the same animal can have different physical futures, and so the difference between males and females animals. Also have to say that dr. Maldonado wasn’t friendly at all and honestly don’t understand why they made me wait for her for so long when as a result she didn’t really have any new info on my cat. Also what the point of scheduling appointments if they make you wait for a doctor for so long.

Dropped off my senior dog with heart disease at 11am. It’s 5pm and still nothing. I specifically let them know my dog has heart problems and had emergencies recently so it makes me anxious to have him there for a long period of time. Their promised pickup time was 1-3pm. Come on! Seems like they overbook pets and let them wait in cages. Extremely frustrating and disappointing.

I haven’t been there yet because these people are the most uncaring and uniformed I have ever dealt with! Do not fall into the trap of getting they wellness plan, they will not make time to see your 12 years old senior dog, they will tell you they are busy for 2 wks and basically good luck if your dog survives until then. Don’t waste your money with their membership or your time with this people who clearly do not care at all for animals!!!!!
