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

There is nothing good about this place. Especially Dr. Stephanie Sluys. Our dog started drinking copious amount of water in January and we finally got her in to see Dr. Sluys at Banfield in Silverdale. We had to have our little dog euthanized on Monday 3/27 because she was misdiagnosed and mistreated. We were told she had diabetes and Cushings disease but Dr. Sluys wanted to wait to start treatment for Cushings after an ultrasound. Our little dog is dead because there were fatal undiagnosed problems, such as advanced kidney disease, keto acidosis and a severe UTI and she was anemic. We had to take her to an emergency hospital to find this out because even with the same blood and urine samples she was misdiagnosed. She had no chance of recovery and no chance at a decent quality of life. Dr. Stephanie Sluys should not be allowed to practice medicine. She never took the time to explain her diabetes diagnosis or explained that she could have a smaller dose of insulin if she hadn’t eaten. She basically said, your dog has diabetes and needs insulin twice a day but don’t give it if she hasn’t eaten. I place the blame for our dog getting so sick so fast squarely on Dr. Sluys shoulders. I don’t know why she treated our dog like that. She was only 10 and should have been able to live a full life even with diabetes. I actually give Banfield in Silverdale a big fat 0.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. The lack of information and care is why I gave my 1 star review. My dog was diagnosed with illnesses, I was given minimal info about the diseases and treatments. If you do HAVE to take your animal here, do not choose Doctor Sluys, she is a cold human. Also, my dog passed a day ago because she was so sick.

My papa and I take our bordercollie April here and they are excellent! They put April's comfort a priority while still doing what they needed to do. They make sure you as the owner and pet parent you fully understand everything before you leave. I highly recommend this place for sure!!

Had an appointment for our cat. Couldn't get him out of his hiding place, had to cancel 10 before. They were great, understanding. No problem rescheduling!
