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.

Consider pet insurance

Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

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!
