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.

Banfield has been a blessing to our dog Sunday. I’m glad I found a trusted veterinary that provides updates during each visit, appointment reminders and remembers my dog by name only after two visits. All the staff are so friendly and love on my baby girl Sundae at each visit.

So, being newly accustomed to our family pet's diabetes, having been off to college and not really being present to hands-on manage our family dog's diabetes, I believe it's absolutely normal to have a lot of questions. Lydia, the Manager of this location has stated that the chief of staff has made it apparent to her that even for questions regarding my dog's diabetes, I am to pay $67 every time I call them. Please avoid this location and all other banfields. Dr. Ortiz herself is great but management--not so much. They lack empathy and an ethical standard of business.

I love coming to this location. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable! They take the time to get my family's needs and my furbabies are comfortable going here. All of my concerns are addressed in a timely manner and I've felt confident in the services provided for the past 9 years. We love Dr. Ortiz and highly recommend the Irving Banfield location. I had a horrible experience once when we went to Banfield at Arlington Highlands where a girl in the staff was horribly condescending, degrading, argumentative, and completely rude. It was an instance when we needed to drop my babies off for boarding so we could travel and my youngest had 2 healing scratches that needed to get checked by Banfield to be considered healing. As a healthcare professional and attentive dog mom, I understood the 2 scratches were healed, but the girl at Banfield met us with a terrible attitude and seemed to just want to argue. Another tech at the Arlington location actually listened to us to address our concerns and the immediate issue was resolved. However, I did NOT feel comfortable or confident during that whole initial experience with Brandy, the first tech. It was absolutely, excruciatingly horrific and I still remember it from 1 year ago. That said, I have NEVER experienced anything except professionalism and caring from South Irving 183 Banfield. Just wish they offered boarding.

Monse is an absolute delight on the phone. She helped me figure out a microchip issue fast and effectively. 10/10. Thank you so so so much.

Miley really loves going there because she gets the princess treatment and everyone loves her too much. Everyone is super friendly and the doctors are awesome.
