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

The hospital helped my kitten out on a Sunday. Kitten was sick and Banfield staff helped him out. Little guy is fever free and we have a check up date after. Due to my job it's hard to get weekdays off and I am super grateful Banfield is open on the weekends. 10 out of 10😁

Title: IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF DOG, DON'T BE A VET! Dr. Michelle Nicole Shutts 1. I made an appointment and tried to find a vet to deal with my dog's allergy problem. The symptom had not been cured or even under controlled after several hospital trips. So I went to the other Banfield. 2. I brought my dog in, and the vet tried to do exam on him, my dog just headed up and the vet immediately said: He wants to bite me! He need a muzzle! I was like: what? No! He wasn't! But the vet just ignore what I said and brought the muzzle out of the drawer. 3. When my dog saw the muzzle, he was so scared of it. TI highly suspect that the drop off service, they probably just use muzzle on my dog (or even every dog!) for every visit! 4. I said to the vet: I can hold my dog, he will not bite you, he just feel insecure. The vet refused and said rudely: if your dog bite you, you probably ask us to take the liability. I was like: no, I won't! But the vet still forced my dog to wear the muzzle! 5. I felt so bad at that time, one for myself not being a good dog mom to protect my baby, the other for my dog that he had to suffer that because of my wrong choice! At this time point, probably you may ask if my dog really bite people? The answer is no forever! Updates, nobody ever contact me after I file the claim through banfield website, so I decided to file a claim to TEXAS STATE BOARD OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EXAMINERS. I will try my best to protect my pets and let every pet owner won't suffer from those unqualified vet!!!!

Our two boys love going to see Dr Schultz and the team at Banfield. 1. They are very spoiled with treats. 2. They are so well taken care of. 3. The wellness plans work with our budget so our dogs are healthy AND we can save money. I've never had dogs that got excited to go to the vet, but here we are. Thanks to the Banfield team for taking care of our boys.

A complete waste of money for years. I have taken my dog to Banfield multiple times for a skin condition. Every time I go there, it's $250 - $350 plus, and nothing has worked. Then these clowns want to charge another $260 plus to cancel. Absolutely not!!! Banfield will not get another penny from me. I would leave zero stars if I could, but to post and show how terrible it is, I have to put at least one star.

I’ve frequented about 10 or so Banfields with my senior dog and this is by far the best service I’ve ever gotten at this location. The entire staff is warm and welcoming, I never feel rushed with the doctors and they listen to every concern. I feel like my senior dog is in great hands here and value their opinions on his care.
