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.

Would give this place 0 stars if I could. Dropped off my dog at 8am and was told I would get information about when to pick her up. I call at 4:30pm after hearing nothing, waited on hold for 20 minutes only to find out that they have done nothing with her until I called to figure out when I could pick her up. When was this going to be communicated? Why not call with an update? Why even accept a drop off if you know you are too busy to even start looking at them before you close? My biggest question, what was their plan if I didn't call and ask them to look at my pet?! How can a facility be focused on "Pet Health" when they leave them in a cage for over 8 hours of the day without communicating with their owners? Then the price, $120 to find out nothing the first time, $180 to find out nothing the second time. I had a Banfield wellness plan, but I am 100% cancelling it.

When I adopted my fur baby just over three years ago, I went to a lot of "recommended vets" and when I felt like they were just after "the next paycheck" I stopped going and moved onto a new vet, that is until I got to Banfield. They were in it for the pets, not the money! This is the reason I stuck with them. I've been going to Lynnwood Banfield ever since and Dr. Achenbach has been so great in so many ways. We have a dog that has health issues and Dr. Achenbach has been more then helpful of teaching us how to help our pup and he gives off the most positive vibe that you could imagine. Thank you, Lynnwood Banfield team, for all you do for our pets and thank you Dr. Achenbach for all of your continuous support!

Good vet, feels kind of informal for being inside of a petsmart but the employees are very nice!
