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.

Called to get a simple question answered. Was placed on a "brief hold" that consisted of a 20 minute wait. Had to call in from a second number while still on hold to be met with another "can we place you on a brief hold?" at which point I explained I was already on hold on the parked call for 20 minutes and asked if she really needed another brief moment. With a sigh the receptionist took my call and spent time with me as if the brief moment was never needed... made me feel uncomfortable and first impressions last. Will not be bringing my pupper here.

Poor service. Missed a walnut size cancer nugget in my 1st dog's jaw. Cant get an appointment for my next dog. Cant even get her nails cut. Wait forever. If you have a family, job, friends, or a dog, dont go there. You're wasting your time. I plan on canceling the plan the day it comes up for renewal.

I’m incredibly disappointed in the lack of follow through. I had a simple well visit with my anxious cat and the doctor agreed to put him on fluoxetine. Well it has been almost 2 weeks since my appointment and the prescription has not been sent into the pharmacy. I understand it’s a pain because he needs liquid meds but it’s not THAT bad. I’m so so sad to have been let down so hard. Edited to add that I have called the office multiple times asking for the prescription to be sent in and the support staff has been kind and reached out to the doctor for me. I’m grateful for their support.

Everyone here is great, they have always been helpful and treated me and my worries about my dog seriously. Dr Kevin Johnson Is the best vet, he truly cares and takes the time to explain and answer questions. I've never felt rushed out of the office like I did with other vets. I would drive from Broward to see him when I lived there, that is how happy I am with my dogs care. The techs are very sweet and the people who are at the desk are great. You can tell that they all are truly animal lovers. Thank you for figuring out what my dog had without a ton of extra tests for the money. She is so much healthier since I started to see Dr Johnson
