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

Absolutely wonderful place. You can feel it when you walk in the door. They couldn't have been better with me and my family during such a difficult time. Staff was so sweet and kind. They gave us all the time we needed with our cat before he was put down due to his age and health issues. Bea was AMAZING. I love her. Dr. Bullock was so nice and caring. Betsy was wonderful as well, made sure we were ok and brought us water and even gave me a hug when I picked up his ashes. All the staff was nice! They also mailed a card to my house the staff wrote in with his paw print which was so nice. I will 100% be bringing my other cats here. Highly recommend.

Biko has been a Banfield Pet Baby since we brought him home when her was 12 weeks old. The Vets and intake staff are awesome and very diligent about the care given to each fur baby that comes through the door. I love that we can go to any Banfield hospital. The preventive care plans are so reasonable as well as the hotline for emergency advice.

Did a wonderful job with my Maltese spaying and hernia repair. The surgeon was very informative and did a very clean and nice job.

I have never written a google review before but this warrants one. We were looking for a new vet and we tried this vet. The first visit was okay except for the price for a pedicure which was $30 and they just cut her nails. They also tried to get us for everything under the sun which is the norm at any vet we go to. We initially went in because our dog got bit by a tick and we were worried about Lyme disease. They told us they will test her but she came up negative because it was too soon understandably. We called back this morning and because our dog was showing signs of weakness in her legs which is the main symptom of Lyme disease we asked to get her tested with a technician which, mind you, she had an appointment for next Wednesday to do this! They told us NO that she had to come in for a full panel and check up which when we asked the cost was over $900. They work off of your love for your pet and will exploit you for money. We argued and they would not see our dog which forced us to go somewhere else. We therefore went to the Farmingdale Dog and Cat Clinic up the road and they took her in gave her an exam and tested her for Lyme (exactly what we wanted). She came back positive of course and was given antibiotics for less than $200. I called Banfield back after we got the result and asked to speak to a manager but instead of doing that they put the same person I spoke earlier with on the phone who was not professional and kept justifying a $900 exam. I honestly would not recommend this place to anyone. They do not truly care about your animals and want to take your money! It is so sad! Go to the Farmingdale Dog and Cat Clinic which is up the road! To make matters worse its National Pet day today April 11th, 2025!!
