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 am not sure what is going on with this location but from the past two weeks I have been trying to reach out an make an appointment and either they don’t pick up or they leave you hanging on the phone for more than 10 min. We are all busy, short of staff, multitasking etc….. but customer service is priority on retaining clients and this sure is not a way to keep me coming to Rock hill! Your busy? I understand…. But at least return the phone call later!!!! But not even that!

These guys do well. Most experiences have been quite good. Occasionally encounter ridiculous scenarios, depending on vet at the time. One dog developed a heart murmur and they would not proceed with anesthesia for teeth cleaning without a echocardiogram $$$. Would not consider proceeding even if we accepted all potential risks without Echo. This seemed like a money-maker to me. It’d be nice if they would work with you on option’s because nothing is a concrete issue. The team was top notch when having to put one dog down. Couldn’t have been better. Truly world class that day!

SCAM I signed up for the puppy wellness plan for 1 year. I noticed money was still getting taking from my account 4 additional months after the year was up. I called and asked them why I was still getting charged and the lady in billing dept. informed me that because I didn’t cancel before the year was up, I got charged for an additional year. When I entered into the contract this information was not given to me. So not only have I paid an additional $200 more than the planned agreement, I still owe them over $500 more for the remainder of the year. HOW is this even possible when I never entered in an agreement for the additional year and nor has my puppy been in for any visits. This is a scam and I will never go back there for anything.

I love this place, I lost my pug last Jan in 2022. I brought her in for her yearly checkup and learned that her organs were shutting down. The staff were with my baby and I comforted us both as she exited this world as they said that if I ever need for me to talk to anyone, that they were there. Thank you Banfield
