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.

Getting 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.

I have had great experiences with this location. They are patient and thorough with my kind-of difficult dog. They don't rush through my questions and make sure I understand everything. They are also as accommodating as they can be regarding last minute appointments when needed. This is not the closes Banfield location to me but I drive the extra 15 minutes for the excellent care.

Huge upgrade from our last vet! Really good experience for my dog who is terrified of the vet. He was too nervous for them to handle him in the back but saw that he was better with me, so they let me hold him and help out for his vaccines and exam. Instant behavior change. I understand that most owners can't be trusted to hold their dogs but I'm just really glad they recognized this in him and let me help make my dogs time in there as easy as possible. This was non negotiable at our last vet, and I didn't even try asking at this clinic. Kudos to the technician/assistant with the blue hair and doctor with the man bun. Wish I caught their names.

Okay if you don't have any other options. I recently changed from Banfield to a different vet and I didn't realize how we were treated like a number at Banfield until we were treated so wonderfully elsewhere. I think if you don't purchase a health program from them you are considered less important. We've had a difficult time scheduling any appointments that aren't very far out only to get cancelled or pushed for more important animals to be seen. Plus the only option is to drop the dog off to be held all day and seen at their convenience which is WAY more expensive than just bringing them elsewhere. I've never been asked to submit fecal samples, I've never been asked to allow them to run blood tests on my elderly dog. I have however been asked to add every level of monthly purchased health programs over and over again. Adequate care but if you want your animal thoroughly cared for and treated well look where.

Zero stars if possible. Just got our family a new puppy and called several locations one isn't taking new clients and the other location near my house is only willing to allow me to drop my 10 week old dog off for multiple hours to be in a dirty kennel (while he's unvaccinated )and I can't wait with him they say I gotta go home and don't know when I can pick him up, zero time frame given.... All for one shot ? Something that should take 15 minutes maximum. The very reason I'm getting him a shot is to protect him from things such as funk, fecal and the types of bacteria that cause illnesses. Do not bring your animals here. The young woman on the phone was rude and flat out lacked intelligent capabilities to compute why a person would not want to risk their animals safety .this process is not normal for vets. (The very reason they make things difficult to get a visit and or provide shifty care is because they sell a bunch of free visit coupons in a book at the PetSmart counter in a care bundle which is sadly unusable now that I know the company does not provide quality service .
