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.

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.

This is the worst customer service ever. Staff do not know their own veterinary treatments or the services they provide. Waste of time.(0) Zero stars
