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.

First time but very pleased with the service & staff.. Changing from another vet service because the line item charges got out of hand. Took out the maximum wellness plan here because my Cocker Spaniel gets ear infections fairly often (typical for the breed) & he has numerous allergies. Also, I'm fairly neurotic when it comes to the care & well being of my Cockers. Dante' is no. 6. Grooming would make Banfield perfect for me, fortunately I have a good groomer.

have three pets that I have enrolled in Banfield's wellness plan. My one pet Izzy seems to have the worst care team every time, we bring her in for her comprehensive exam. Today, I was told she could not receive her six month supply o Simpatico Trio, because a six month supply was given to me in September and a six month supply was given to me in December of 2022, I asked the tech does that make sense to you? The tech said "no ma'am", I explained that my pet is covered under the Active Care Optimum Wellness Plan that covers her flee, tick, and heart worm medication, so how is it possible that she received a six month supply in September & December??? It does not make sense. They called me to make the appointment and informed me it was time for Izzy's wellness exam and her six month supply of medication, only for me to get there and be given the run around. This office has a HIGH TURNOVER IN STAFF, Always new people, who do not have a clue of what's going on. I was told the manager was out and they could not help me and I would have to come back on Monday. The staff is rude and very unprofessional. I will not be renewing the wellness plan for all THREE OF MY PETS.

Love taking my baby girl Jolyne here. They love her and treat her like their own. Great at following up whenever she’s due for any vaccines in our plan or any exams. Very sweet and kind staff that always seem super excited to see her lol! Great vet office.

We get our Cheagle's nails dremeled here about once a month. They are always wonderful with Harvey, even with his becoming a grumpy, 18 year old man that would rather not have someone grinding down his toenails. He doesn't even seem to mind the little muzzle needed to help keep him in line now. Wonderful staff that treat our furry kids with TLC.

Very happy with the services provided by Banfield Pet Hospital located at Greenwood Plaza in Palm Springs, Florida. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Update: I had a nice surprise yesterday 3/15/2023, I received a follow-up call by Angela (Angie) to see how my paw baby Toby was doing after his appointment. Is unbelievable how attentive and caring the staff truly is.
