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.

This past Sunday our dog, Frank, declined rapidly. He'd been fighting an illness for two years. Banfield was the only place open and they took exceptional care of Frank and us. It's so hard losing a pet. They were caring and compassionate. 10 stars from us.

I just wanted to personally and publicly acknowledge the veterinarian team at Oswego, IL Banfield. If I do not list everyone I am sorry and please know I am so grateful for your love and support with Greyson during his Kidney failure. Dr. Logan, Dr. Collins, Alex .H., Jessie, and Alex .R. and team thank you so very much for loving Greyson and taking care of him when he was so sick. I am so grateful for your easy drop off options and your calls while he was in your care letting me know how he was doing. I never felt out of the loop and I was given options and all pricing was explained up front. Thank God for Care Credit because it helps me not worry. I am so glad you all accept it as a payment options so I can be the best Mother to my baby boy. Bella came in with a stomach bug a couple of months ago and she was cuddled and loved and sent home feeling so much better. We look forward to our long term relationship with your staff. Keep up the good work you are all amazing from the front desk staff to the nurses and doctors who truly care. Love, Carissa, Greyson, and Bella Vera.

My cat was unable to breath. I took her in and they completely refused to even look at her. Said to go to a facility in Aurora which was almost 20 minutes away. My cat died within 5 minutes of leaving this place. I wouldn't call this a Hospital. It seems to be more like a clinic.

I love that they allow walk in's and the doctors and staff are extremely kind and passionate. However, the cost for check ups and medicine is a bit high. Otherwise it's really great for emergencies.

Glad they were there on a Sunday to help with a split Dew Claw nail that needed to be removed. Very quick and efficient service. Only thing would have liked was to be with my dog during exam and procedure. Jazzy was back to normal within 24 hours. Thank you Dr Sepoy and crew.
