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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.

Laura the nurse super gentle and sweet with our cat, she was able to grab our cat without him freaking out. Dr. Jones was quick & efficient.

Our rescue dog had heartworm and we followed the instructions Dr. Moore gave us with regards to her care. We did the antibiotics and made the vaccination appointment as her next step. They confirmed her appointment a day prior but the morning of we were called asking why our dog wasn't there because they wanted to monitor her. They failed to provide us with this info on multiple times. So I took off work and brought her in. I spoke with the "manager" Jackson who proceeded to tell me that it was my fault if I didn't ask what they required and when I attempted to ask a follow up he made a comment to the effect "it is your dog so it is your responsibility to ask the questions. If you don't care enough about your dog we will not take responsibility for what happens." Upon pickup we were told that the staff isn't trained on how to confirm appointment for vaccines and this has happened before..

If I could rate this location more than 5 stars I would! We had a scare with my pup last night and were recommended to follow up with primary care. After his brother died suddenly, we were eager to be seen and were able to secure an appointment at Banfield in Olney the next day. Our pup didn't have any insurance or wellness plan and we were really unfamiliar with the whole thing. We made sure that we would enter the conversation guarded and not buy anything we didn't need, but this was 100% unnecessary. We saw Dr. Dluehosh and Alexia and Mandi. Dr. Dluehosh was extremely patient and answered every single one of my million questions, advising me carefully on what was best for my pup while also trying to make sure that I didn't spend a fortune unless it was absolutely necessary. Alexia also spent so much of her time talking to me about my pup, the various plans, and all the hypothetical scenarios I was cooking up. To say I was anxious before the appointment is an understatement. I left more relaxed than ever -- about my wallet and my pup's health because of the wonderful service that we received here. Not only were they amazing with me, but they were so nice with my pup! Benji was cowering in the corner when they first came in, as he usually does, and I was a bit worried when they took him back for his full work up (EKG, X-ray, vaccine, bloodwork, etc.). When he came back in the room you would've thought not a thing had happened to him. Lastly, the front desk staff (Kat and Jackson) were warm, welcome, and were the cherry on top of an already wonderful experience. Banfield Olney took care of me and my pup from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. I highly recommend!

Overall Banfield is a HORRIBLE and Rip-off Veterinary service. Inconsistant care and different doctors every time. Never take two minutes to review pet medical information before opening their mouths to suggest care. They always act rushed and always scam you out of money for medication refills. My dog has had a chronic ear infection since he was a baby. Everytime I inquire about ear flush to manage the yeast build-up, I’m always told to pay $50 for an ear swab EVEN THOUGH IT’S THE SAME RESULT EACH TIME. Nothing has changed since he was a puppy and he’s 8 now and they insist on charging me everytime. Did some research and found more extensive pet insurance options such as EMBRACE that reimburses for medical care and expenses. Just a few more dollars than Banfield (who doesn’t cover XRays or Cancer treatments btw) and my Golden Retriever has better health insurance than crappy Banfield. Good Riddance. I highly suggest people to research other Vet Insurance options for their pets. Banfield is a rip-off.
