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.

Absolutely loved Banfield for my 15 year old Papillion. I haven't had upbeat and and friendly service like this in a long time. We have used lots of veterinary clinics and so far this is the best I've found. Reasonable prices. Was going to sign up for a wellness plan my last visit but we decided to hold off for a bit since our dog is already so aged..Would be great for a family who just got a puppy. I would highly recommend them to anyone just from our first visit. The vet was great..vet staff was great..and receptionist was very friendly and helpful. I appreciated them very much in a time of need!

Such amazing staff here. They were able to help me with a rather urgent matter when we were traveling through town and my dog needed meds. I'm so grateful for their care and they were quite fast! So so appreciative for their kindness.

My canine has been well taken care of each visit. My dog has been seen for blood work, lacerations, dental cleaning, and even for a weight management plan. Dr. Brown and staff are so wonderful, I can tell they care about the true wellbeing of my pet and that they take their jobs seriously. I appreciate their thoughtfulness, pre planning, and after care with all visits I have planned w my pet! Don’t be fooled that they are attached to Petsmart, in my experience this has been a good quality veterinary office for my pets needs.

Absolutely the most kind, wonderful staff I've ever worked with. I never feel pressured to do medical procedures or meds I'm not comfortable with or can't afford. They are honest and informative in the best way to care for your dn addition to being incredibly kind and supportive when I had to lay my dog to rest; they went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and in control of the process, respecting my emotional process. Days later, we recieved a card in the mail- hand signed by every staff member there and they had made a paw print of Ollie before permanently laying him to rest. I didn't ask them to do this, I had no idea they had... and they will *never* know how deeply grateful I am for that small piece of him. Incredible, incredible place. If I could give more stars I would
