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.

I’ve always heard great things about Banfield, but this specific location has been nothing but disappointing. Every single visit feels like a test of patience — I’m constantly made to wait excessive amounts of time, get calls to reschedule, or am told to come in at a certain hour only for them to not be ready or even there. My time is valuable, and it’s incredibly disrespectful to treat clients as if we have nothing else to do but sit and wait. To make things worse, they told me one total price in the morning, and when I came to pick up my pet, the amount was three times higher. No explanation, no warning — just a completely different number out of nowhere. That’s unacceptable and feels like a complete lack of honesty and transparency. If this had happened once, I’d let it go. But this has been a pattern — over and over again. It’s unprofessional, frustrating, and shows a serious lack of organization and respect for their clients’ schedules. I expected much better from Banfield, and this location has completely changed my opinion.

Thanks to Dr. Torres for her quick action with our dog: Brodie, she was able to determine he had bladders stone lodged in his urethra and We had to run him to the ER hospital for a procedure and all is good with him now. I love this hospital, Brodie is our newest pup but I have been taking my pups there for years. Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻

Dr. Hemphill at Banfield Pet Hospital is simply amazing. She's super knowledgeable about all things pet related. But what really makes her special is how much she genuinely cares about every pet she sees. She treats all of my dogs like they are part of her family. She takes the time to listen to concerns, explain things in a way that's easy to understand, and always makes sure each pet gets the personal care they need. Dr. Hemphill goes above and beyond to help, making every visit feel reassuring and positive. It's no wonder everyone I recommend to Banfield trusts and loves her. She's truly the best!

Just wanted to give a little praise once again to the staff at this location! I had a terrible experience with the other location (Miramar), they were so unprofessional and couldn’t properly schedule my pups spay appointment! Asking for further assistance on the situation was like talking to wall.I had to delay for 2 weeks. Thankfully, my lovely ladies (Claudia, Lexi, Alexis) made it happen. 10/10 recommend. 🥰
