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 had an amazing experience at this Banfield animal hospital! Rosie was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and understanding from the very beginning. She took the time to answer all of my questions with patience and gave me detailed information about my pet’s care. I truly felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend this place to any pet owner looking for trustworthy and compassionate care. Thank you so much Rosie.

I can't say enough good things about Banfield Pet Hospital in Clifton, VA! From the moment I picked up my miniature poodle after a vet visit, I knew he was in the best hands. The staff at Banfield has been exceptional in providing top-notch care for my fur baby. My poodle absolutely adores the staff, and it's evident that the feeling is mutual. Their genuine love and dedication to their furry patients truly shine through in every interaction. Despite the one-hour drive from my home, I consider it well worth the trip to bring my poodle to Banfield in Clifton. The level of care and attention to detail is unparalleled, and the peace of mind knowing my pet is receiving the best care possible is priceless. I highly recommend Banfield in Clifton, VA to any pet owner looking for a dedicated and compassionate team to care for their beloved pets.

So far I have had nothing but great experiences at this banfield location. :) Rosie and Nick were extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to me. I called early one morning SO stressed with a sick doggie. No one likes cleaning up explosive diarrhea off walls and carpet for four hours . Not to mention the dog needed to go out every five seconds to do more. I called and in panic explained the situation fearful it was giardia again. They said my dog could be seen with drop off and when drs had time to check over her they would. So thankful they were able to do so and they had the rapid test so no need to wait 48 hours for results for giardia as my other previous vet. I also learned so much about the wellness plan. I wish I had done this with my last two dogs after spending THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS on them Both. Nicks calming positive voice on the phone even though I was extremely stressed was the best …his calm demeanor was much appreciated ! And Rosie was awesome as well took the time to explain everything regarding the wellness and such an awesome thing banfield offers to folks and their dogs. The dr I spoke to was nice and informative and appreciated him. It doesn’t seem like “just a paycheck” to them. They genuinely care and want what’s best for your pet. Until our next visit which is hopefully preventative and not a sick visit we shall see you then! Thanks banfield of Clifton!

I havent been back since Mischa was a puppy and I unfortunately had to switch vets temporarily. I am so glad i did come back. I had 2 recent visits with them and both times have been excellent. Their updates before, during and after each visit have been very welcoming. Considering they are in this area of Centreville, it is really nice to have them at arms reach. Highly recommend.
