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.

From start to finish I do have a few complaints. When I first called I was put on hold for about 20 mins so in that time I scheduled online and hung up. No biggie but a bit frustrating. Initially arrived 10 minutes early for my 4:30 appointment and checked in with a lady that kind of had a flat effect? Also no biggie. We weren’t seen until 5 which was very disappointing and frustrating as we had scheduled at 4:30. Aside from that the ladies who took a look at my cat were absolutely fantastic! They answered my questions, listened to concerns, and genuinely seemed to listen and understand. The recommendations were based in a place of care and not money, we chose what we could afford and have another appointment to follow up/ provide more care. Overall the office part was lacking but the team helping care for the pets was over the top phenomenal!

Well I took my fur baby to the banfield fur his wellness check and was totally not happy. They were very slow and when I got their i asked them prices and they told me 26 dollars for rabies shot and 23 dollars for nails clipped never said anything about a Dr . Visit I told them I had 145 to spend on his visit and he had diarrhea still so they gave him some meds fur that and that was 23. Also do when I went to check out I asked them what the bill was going to be and they day said 143.68 wow after I told them I only had 145 to spend.i was so upset and about crying I will never take him back their I will take him to allen vet where they care and charge you what you can afford and we're awesome with tank

I can't say enough good things. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. They treated my dog like family, taking the time to explain every step of his care with patience and kindness. The veterinarians are not only knowledgeable, but also truly compassionate, they went above and beyond to make sure my pet was comfortable and well-cared for during his visit. The facility is clean, modern, and well-organized, which gave me peace of mind right away. I’m so grateful to have found a place where I know my pet is in the best hands. Highly recommend to any pet owner looking for trustworthy and loving veterinary care!

Dr. Kava and her team are incredible at this location. I started care with my cat here before I recently moved across country and I still have yet to find the quality of care they provided for my kiddo (which is why I'm here writing this review)! Ft. Wayne is lucky to have them and I will definitely return if I ever make it back to this area.

This place sucks I went in 6 times for a basic ear infection and spent $300+ on medicine that didn’t work for me now to have to pay $500 for cancelling services with them and they went ahead and did blood work I didn’t authorize and are telling me I did. You’re better off paying more for an actual vet and getting pet insurance. These people do not know what they are talking about and it’s never clean in the rooms. I will be taking my business to Covington veterinary hospital where they actually care for your pets.
