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.

My co-worker (Terry) recommended me (dashing Dog) in Carrollton, so I brought my 1 year old Bichon frise (Maverick) in here yesterday, and I can easily and happily say that I am very happy with the service provided! He’s had an amazing trim and also cutting his nails, which is he won't let me do it, and I would like to thank Megan, he's groomer, She did a great job. My husband Kyle picks him up, Maverick has a happy tingle issue all the time for his excitement, Thank you Taylor for assisting my husband yesterday, We are very happy with this place and I’ll be booking in again.

I have been using Banfield for years. I like their new location on Mercury beside McDonald's. Regardless of the location, both locations in Hampton have a very friendly staff and amazing doctors. I never had any issues. They are straight forward, transparent and always willing to work with you. They are amazing with my dog and I recommend them to anyone

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VET. They have no idea what they’re doing. They have a very polite staff but they are clueless on certain issues. My dog randomly started vomiting and I took him to Banfield as soon as they opened because the ER had a 8 hour wait. During the first visit they did two X-rays, a few other things and sent him home. He was doing ok for the first few days then his condition started to worsen. I took him back to the vet and they said that they were wrong the first time and it was a completely different issue. They “treated” him, I took him home and he seemed like he got worse. I took him back the next day and they “treated” him again and still, he was worse. Each visit I had a completely different Vet which had a different diagnosis. I ended up having to take him to the ER.. $3000 just to make his condition worsen. Save yourself some money and go to a more experienced hospital.

They careb about your pet as much as you do. Anytime I have taken my dog for care I have always felt good about the med decisions made for him. They will ALWAYS consult you first. And they check on you afterwards just to make sure all is well.
