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.

I had a very disappointing experience at this hospital during my puppy’s recent visit. While we were there for his vaccination, he suddenly injured his leg. The vet suspected a fracture and advised waiting overnight before proceeding with an X-ray. The next day, I dropped him off at noon for the X-ray, and he remained there for six hours with no updates. When I finally called around 4:20 p.m., the vet confirmed the fracture and said they would apply a splint. An hour later, they called back saying they could no longer do it because they were closing and suggested I take him to an emergency clinic instead. They then told me to return the next morning, but when I arrived, the vet admitted they were overbooked and lacked experience performing splinting on live animals. I was shocked. I had already paid nearly $705 for exams and X-rays, yet my puppy remained in pain for two days with no treatment. I ultimately had to take him to another clinic, where he was properly casted immediately. I’m deeply disappointed by this hospital’s lack of professionalism, follow-through, and proper medical care. I gave one star only because the front staff were polite and seem suitable for routine vaccinations—but not for urgent or serious cases.

They always take such good care of our babies! I used a different Banfield in the area and it just felt like a job to them. But here, it feels like they genuinely care about my fur babies. The techs recognize me as "Oscars mom" and they get excited when our very lovey cat Marbles comes in. The vet here is always patient and doesn't seem to mind my neverending questions. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Banfield hospital is always taking excellent care of my pet, diamond, and have also taken great care of me , as well, being the pet parent. I recommend them to everyone, especially their wellness plans. When you are on a fixed income, it helps you financially to be able to get the care your four-legged child needs. I have been with them over 15 years now and I plan on staying with them. I love all the veterinarians because they truly do care and are very compassionate. I have always been treated with the utmost respect and care by everyone at Banfield. The most important thing is that I trust the doctors and the staff.

My 2 children/ dogs both had appointments today. I wanted to let everyone know how well Dr assistant Phillipe was with my 2! Awesome work. I loved that you listened and took time with trigger since he is deaf. Thank you for everything. It was a very warm visit.

Excellent care of our “service dog in training “ puppy, Banjo. He is part of your SAVD program, under the name of Do Unto Others Service Dogs. Banfield nationwide generously provides free routine vet care, plus discounts on products and non- routine devices. We are grateful for Banfield’s support. Special thanks to Christine (Christina ?) for paving the way at the Lake Mary office.
