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 a Banfield client for more than 15 years. For a large portion of that time I have felt as though my pups were truly cared for on a one-on-one basis with the vet. Now, I never know who will be seeing my pet and I always feel as though they are in a rush to be done so they can go on to the next. There’s no longer any warmth in what they do. Everything is “by the book”. No true compassion is being given. I use the Wellness Package for all of my pups and love the option to pay monthly. However, when/if I get a new pet, I will not be taking it to Banfield.

I received text from you with a link to this review page. I replied “unsubscribe” and your system replied: “ Sorry! We are having trouble understanding your message. If you need assistance, please call your local Banfield Pet Hospital.” This is some pretty basic missing functionality. All of our pets have been dead for years but thanks for the painful memories. I’m pretty sure you are supposed to provide a one click solution to stop spam messages like this as well. Do better and take me off your stupid list.

I absolutely LOVE the staff here. They have been beyond helpful and they take such good care of my pets. They lovingly refer to one of my cats as "Bot Fly Boy". The wellness plan was one of the best decisions I've made and I wouldn't have made that decision without the help of the staff. I 100% recommend bringing your pets here.

Not a good experience they canceled our appointment because no doctor available rescheduled visit waited over an hour in a small room with 2 dogs that became anxious from waiting so long they were unable to complete wellness plan checkups one dog returned soaked in and wreaking of alcohol they seem to have a problem keeping staff that can complete services they really minimized our issue with the alcohol with 2 staff members telling us we were wrong about it for 15 minutes rather than taking him back and cleaning it off I know they offer drop off appointments if you don't mind your pets sitting in a crate all day I would make sure they're offered water our in office visit was 2 hours total for us something isn't right here and will be terminating wellness plans through Banfield

This Banfield has frustratingly terrible customer service. It is impossible to get a basic prescription filled let alone quality veterinarian care. I have been a Banfield customer since 2006 but this location has ruined this company for me. I had hoped the new manager would be able to turn it around, she seemed very responsive and customer service focused when we spoke, but I had another issue filling a prescription, that took many phone calls to resolve (and it was not resolved satisfactorily), she has not called me back since I left a message 5 days ago. Edit: Thanks for your reply. I reached out to that email address in January 2025. I am continuing to have issues and problems. No one even responded to my very detailed and fact-based email until I followed up voicing my frustration with not receiving a reply. “Banfield cares” does not in fact “care.”
