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 pay monthly plan dues and When I took my dog in pain and unable to stand at all, they did not even check basic things and asked me to take to a specialist. So I took my dog to another urgent care and they gave medicine to manage the pain and an antibiotic and I was happy and satisfied as they were more practical. It turned out to be a mere swollen paw infection and inflammation. my dog is able to stand and walk too after using antibiotic for 5 days ( not even completed yet). Basically they want pet owners to tell the problem ( not just symptoms)=> diagnose.

We stumbled upon Banfield when trying to find affordable vet care and we are so happy. Our family adopts the "unadoptable" cats - they are typically old (our 2 are currently 17) and medically delicate (kidney disease, heart defects, spine/muscle issues and more). Our goal is to keep them comfortable and give them a final loving forever home rather than having them spend it in the Humane Society. That being said, we also don't have a ton of money to put into their care. Banfield's wellness program and affordable rates are so important to us because we don't have to sacrifice quality for affordability. We are very big supporters of Banfield!

I take my dog here to the grooming area (not Banfield, although Banfield is inside of Petsmart) to get his nails clipped and ground. It cost $19 for the clipping and grindjng. If you want the "Pawdecure" it is $21 and with that you get nail clip, ear cleaning with cotton ball with alcohol/cleaner, doggie cologne spritz, and a bandana. Pink or blue. They are quick (they take about 5 minutes only!) and all the employees are very friendly. A must-have when working with my precious doggie! He's like my child! Thry are gentle and are very thorough. I highly recommend this place.

I recently moved here from out of state and used banfield so I thought I would use it here in WA as well. It was difficult to choose a location because the reviews were not the best overall but this issaquah location had comparatively better reviews so I decided to come here and I’m so glad I did! I brought my husky and my Boston both for comprehensive exam and preventative care, it was a drop off appointment. The front desk were super nice and made sure I was aware of everything that was happening and treated me and my babies very kindly! Dr McDaniel gave me a phone call when they were ready for pickup and she was very thorough in explaining their results and the best options for care. My babies when picking them up were a little bit tired but that’s normal but they showed no signs of discomfort which is good. And lastly when setting up the payments and stuff I made some mistakes with the cards but the front desk were very patient and attentive in solving everything. Thank you so much for taking good care of my babies!

Addie at the front desk is an absolute JOY to interact with. Introduced herself, answered every single question I had and was just incredibly helpful and you can tell she cares about client interaction a lot.
