How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Banfield Pet Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

It was my first time ever there. I brought in Harvey my new puppy. Harvey loved everyone there and probably would stay there all day if he could. Can’t wait to go back as I know how much they liked Harv and how much he liked them. All questions answered. Staff was Amazing! Especially Shae and Katelyn!

I have been taking my frenchie to this banfield for almost 7 years, back when it was still located in the Petsmart. We pay monthly for the dog health maintenance plan and we have always had a good experience. Our dog is seen twice a year for vaccines and baseline preventative testing, we get text reminders, and the staff is always very kind and knowledgeable. I have never felt pressured to do anything extra or unnecessary. Their recommendations have always been to the benefit of my dog.

Terrible experience! Brought our dog here as he got sick unexpectedly. There was NO transparency in care, the medical issue our family dog was having, or what are potential next steps we can take for our pet. Our dog unfortunately passed away suddenly due to veterinary negligence from this Banfield. I would NEVER recommend bringing your pet to this location!

The staff are very friendly and answered all my questions for my puppy’s first vet appointment! They explained my options thoroughly and helped me sign up for the puppy plan to ensure my little guy is well taken care of!

I had brought my dog in for an infection in his right ear, which was treated and healed nicely. A few weeks later at his check-up for his right ear, the vet had mentioned that his left ear was looking a little inflamed, and that we should "keep an eye on it". Quite literally the next day his left ear was bright red, swollen, and causing pain to him. I called back and tried to schedule a follow-up visit for him, but was told the soonest I could get in was more than a week later, so I took that and tried my best to treat it at home. After I was able to get my dog back in to get treated for his left ear, I asked the staff why they did not treat his ear as soon as they saw it was irritated. To which I was told by the vet, and I quote, "I got my lefts and rights mixed up". So my dog was in unnecessary pain for over a week because the staff could not tell which ear they had previously treated. And now, I was supposed to have three of my pets (which are all on wellness plans) get their teeth cleaned tomorrow, only to be told less than 24 hours in advance that they will not have surgery staff for the procedure tomorrow for two of them and that I need to reschedule after I have already taken time off work. And now I am being told that I have to wait another month to get their dental cleanings done... All in all, very disappointed with the service that I am receiving, especially considering how much I am paying every month for their wellness plans. Why offer a wellness plan when I have to wait weeks to get my pets seen??
