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.

Difficult to make 1st appointment but after initial visit, it’s easy to navigate. The vets and techs are good!

Had pretty close to the same experience as the customer who had written the attached review. What really gets me is how Banfield cares but read their response. They didn't even read his review. And if they did I think that's a very sarcastic reply that they put down about hoping to see him soon after he had his pet euthanized. I will never use Banfield and I will not by any means, promote this company to anyone. I don't know about all these people that are giving five star ratings, they need to take their dog to another vet and have him diagnosed versus what Banfield veterinarians have diagnosed the pet with.jmo

Dr. Michael Henson and his staff are absolutely amazing. The way he explains everything to us and takes his time is much appreciated. He's very knowledgeable, and we're extremely pleased with him.

Excellent care, friendly staff, and thorough vets. I am always welcomed when I come in, am able to get my dog appointments for various needs quickly. I have their wellness plan and it's nice to not have to really think about saving for her primary vet costs. I am confident that my senior dogs complex needs are now being met by people who truly care. Within a span of three weeks, I've been able to get my dog seen for an infection, a glucose curve test for her diabetes, and get her a dental cleaning. I'm so happy to have found a place that can keep my dog happy and healthy. Highly recommended!

We have been going to Banfield Medina since I adopted my Senior guy, Duke. They have been kind and attentive as I navigate some tough decisions. As I have added other dogs to my life, I have remained at Banfield and have received great care. Sometimes it takes a while to get in, but they are good about fitting you in if they get a cancellation. I do like that if there is an emergency, I can call other Banfield clinics in the area and they have access to our records. We have done that once or twice.
