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.

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.

Now that I am retired and enjoy traveling, it is such a relief to me to know that wherever I’m at I can find a Banfield pet hospital nearby. My two dogs are well cared for anywhere. We travel with Banfield. Their records are always on file and I have never had a problem scheduling an appointment. Just this year, my partner, and I went on a two week cruise to South America, and boarded our pets at one of the Banfield pet hotels. This was the first time for our border collie, and he had his own room and ice cream at night as a treat. I received updates from Banfield call we were away and called them several times to check on him. When I returned, he was in terrific shape, and did not seem unhappy that he had had his own vacation. I will always have a wellness plan with Banfield!

Colin and Chase, 15 week old kittens in for their first well kitten visit since adopted. They seem none the worst for wear. The staff was helpful and informative.

We have been with Banfield for over 10 yrs! They have always taken great care of our babies. Yes there are times it’s hard to get in but if we can’t get in to see a vet in our preferred location we try to get in at a different location. But we have continued to stay with Banfield bc of their great caring and knowledgeable veterinarians.

I called to make an appointment for my dog for a couple of vaccinations. The first time I called to inquire about an appointment, I was (not) greeted by a very rude employee who sounded like she would love to be anywhere else but on the phone with me. She told me I would have to pay a visit fee ( which is totally fine, I understand that) and then told me she didn't know how much the vaccinations would cost. I called back a few minutes later, after getting a coupon for a free first visit from their website, and again, same rude employee who really acted like she didn't want to help me or care about my dog but also told me that " We are incredibly swamped right now" and she wouldn't ask her supervisor a question for me. I absolutely will not be coming here. I will call a local vet who cares about animals and their parents.

Great place!!! I love taking my dog here. She loves all this staff and friendly veterinarians. They always take great care of her when I have to drop her off. The atmosphere is great there. The place is really clean and the staff is very helpful. I love the Wellness Plan. It's very convenient and I can take my dog in if I have to have an unexpected visit . I love their hours and that they're open 7 days a week !!!!! We hope you enjoy your experience as much as my dog and I do❤🐶
