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 have been using this Banfield Pet Hospital for fifteen years, and they have always given me great customer service. My cats have always been well cared for, and I would recommend them to anyone.

First year until 1 year old for my fur baby it was okay except couple of emergency need worst experience. My fur baby freaks out because of the first time experience with over grinding nails. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My pet was under the care of Banfield for her entire 14 years of life and I honestly didn’t have an issue with her care until the end. At the end of her life my dog declined quickly. We had an appointment on Friday, January 13th and the plan was to see if the medicine she was prescribed started to work. I was told they would follow up with me on Monday (1/16). My dog went into cardiac arrest the next day (1/14). When I called Banfield in a panic, I was told the schedule was full but they would try to squeeze us in sometime throughout the day. I told them it was an emergency and they suggested I find another hospital. My dog died before we made it to the closest hospital. Here is the most disappointing part, I never received that follow up call to check on my pet. It has been a week since she passed and Banfield still has not called to check on her. The pet hospital that we took her to was amazing and so compassionate. If we ever adopt again, they will be our vet.

Went in to get my food script renewed, young lady at desk *laquisha* had ear buds in and was intent on her phone for a full 2 minutes while I waited to be greeted. Once she realized I was there, she did assist but I noticed the ear buds were still in the entire time. I noticed they never came out even while she answered phones in opposite ear. I asked for help with food but she never heard me and I went in search of additional help. Not the type of folks I would want work at my own vet for sure.
