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.

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.
