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

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

I am so incredibly grateful that I found this clinic. My senior cat and dog require a lot of vet care, which means a lot of time at the vet. Banfield Cedar Mill - Dr. Sankar and her team - are always so friendly, kind, and compassionate. They have been flexible, accommodating, and always go the extra mile, time and time again. Dr. Sankar has such an endearing personality and is so knowledgeable. She identified a small tumor over my dogs eye, and connected me with a specialist to have it removed. She recommended and provides a monthly pain injection that has changed my dogs life. And every month when we’re back in her office, we’re greeted with the same kind smile and excellent care. Thank you Dr. Sankar (and team) for all you do!

IM SO TIRED OF BANFIELD! Its been a month and the results of my cats test haven't been read. He is at the end of the medication we were given and they cant tell us if we've been treating the right thing. $530 for the visit this time. $400+ for the visit last time. AND my cat contracted fleas at their location, I brought him in for a skin irritation NOT because he had fleas. TIRED of this untrustworthy care for my pet and blatant negligence for cleanliness in their locations. Go anywhere else. I would not recommend banfield to anybody. 4 times my pets have been here and only once did the vet actually give a hoot... not impressed, not surprised either. Get better banfield.

Every vet has been excellent and the staff always work hard to get my service dog in and out of a drop off appointment super fast. They are very responsive to requests Lr for medications and always professional and great to work with! 😊 A+

Great experience. After my dog's appointment, which unexpectedly involved leaving her there for several hours, she walked out of this Banfield like she had just had a playdate. She's usually upset and sleepy. She's been happy all day. And they were caring and thorough and solved our problem. Thank you!!

New receptionist has no idea what she’s talking about. She questioned me multiple times about my dogs prescription meds and prescription food when everything is literally on file. My dog is frequently at this office and we’ve never been treated this way! She was also unable to tell me the total cost for my next visit. Might need to switch offices
