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.

We had an issue with our dog and were from out of the area. They were able to squeeze us in because we have a Banfield Wellness Plan. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We highly recommend them for your veterinary needs.

The folks at Banfield are caring, compassionate, patient and exceptionally knowledgeable. During my last visit, Dakota and Doctor Pepper were so helpful and kind when my girl Rosie was having health issues. Everyone is patient and takes the time to make sure I know what/how to do to care for my girl. I've been going to Banfield for 13 years, and wouldn't go anywhere else for my pet's health care. I also appreciate their Optimum Wellness program. It helps me keep on top my my girl's health needs, and it's something I've recommended to many friends.

Optimum wellness plan is worth the cost. The vet visit today was more than the cost of the plan, and you get 2 visits a year on the plan that I have. All the vaccines and medications, blood work, fecal test are included in the plan. In my opinion, well worth the cost.

First time coming here and the only positive experience we had for my mini dachshund was that they provide affordable medical & their hours of operation. However, the communication here has been horrific. My dog had a few extractions, we were very nervous about her being under anesthesia, throughout her procedure multiple calls from their front desk asking the same questions as if they weren’t communicating at all with each other than when it came time to pick her up we were met with a “uncertainty” voice that insinuated something may have happen to our dog, after being freaked out they ultimately said she was okay. The front desk has given us nothing but constant trouble with us constantly repeating ourselves about our concerns, updating cc on file to find out it was never updated. Communication is very very poor & is the last thing any dog parent needs when they have anxiety about their dogs health. Not to mention for our follow up appointment the front desk were very rude, and drag my dog when it came time for her to see the doctor, we immediately said we can help her she than picked up my dog (mind you she’s a dachshund) not supporting her back and had her dangling. We appreciate everyone’s help with getting her procedure done but this place is not a vet I will be recommending, if you have the opportunity to go somewhere else please do.

We absolutely love Banfield Pet Hospital in Coachella Valley! Every staff member here genuinely cares for our two boys and treats them like family. They know both of our pups by name and always greet them with warmth and kindness. It’s clear they love what they do, and that gives us complete peace of mind. We trust them fully with our dogs’ care—whether it’s routine checkups or something more serious, we always feel safe and supported. Their attention to detail, compassion, and consistency have made them an essential part of our pups’ lives. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a team that truly loves and looks out for your pets.
