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.

Best Doctors, Best Staff to take care of your pets anytime my pet(s) have had/has a illness Banfield Pet Hospital always take care of them

The vet was fine, He didn't do anything wrong. The veterinary assistant however was pushy, rude, and guilt tripped me and pushed me into purchasing things I did not come in for or need. I am autistic and it is hard for me to refuse things. They took advantage of that and kept pressuring me into things my dog did not need by guilting me. They forced me to redo his core vaccines that I gave him myself or they would not give him a rabies shot which is what I came in for. They said they refused to recognize me giving them and that they had to be redone. Despite the fact that I was a veterinary technician for ten years. Then they pressured me futher by implying I didn't take care of my dog because he hadn't seen the vet yet. I do all his routine care as someone who was a veternary technician for 10 years and only see the vet for things I can not do. I was also made to feel guilty for the fact that I groomed him myself and refused the kennel cough vaccine. The vet tech snapped at me "What are you just never going to get him groomed??" When I told her it was not nessessary. I just needed his rabies done, which is something I can not do and has to be done by a vet. He also did not have worms, which they kept insiting he probably had because they had never seen him, even though I worm him regularly. Very rude, very uncaring staff.

I've used three different Banfield pet hospitals now because I've moved. They consistently provide good care and are excellent at sending out reminders of upcoming appointments. I like the customer service at this location.
