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.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting 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.
Reviews from Google
This review is for anyone who is worried about their pet: I brought my pup here yesterday because I was worried he might be constipated. They quoted me over $800 UP FRONT in order to run a bunch of expensive tests and do xrays. I left and went down the street to Three Creeks Vet Clinic instead. The vet literally put her finger up my dog's a*** and told me he wasn't even constipated. A simple rectal exam. I almost paid Banfield $800 to find out my dog wasn't even constipated because they offered me the most extreme/invasive/expensive options immediately!! They didn't even LOOK at my dog without throwing that number out there. They told me this price within 3 minutes of walking through the door! This place is a money grab. They are predatory and they create a false sense of urgency to get more money out of you. RUN (don't walk) to another vet clinic. I highly recommend THREE CREEKS instead! Thanks for reading!

Hands down the best Banfield I have taken my beloved pups to. They now know my 2 Labradoodles, and my pups actually love going there! I feel they have my dogs' health in focus, and I will continue to bring them to that location!

Impossible to get ahold of, they no not return calls. You can only schedule appointments (literally) months out, better not have any emergencies! No communication about pet health or responses to questions. I've been a Banfield customer for 10 years and they've really dropped off as far as quality of care and communication.

I have taken my pets to Banfield hospitals since 2006. I was living in PDX, so we went to the 185th location in Hillsboro and the location on Barbar Rd. I recently moved to WA and started going here. I am completely unimpressed! The receptionists I’ve dealt with are rude and it is impossible to call and get ahold of anyone at anytime. I have worked in healthcare for >20y with half of that time being in the ED. I completely understand long waits, that sicker patients need to go first, and that sometimes staff are too busy to answer the phones. I also understand when this is due to extenuating circumstances and when it is an employee/ owner culture issue. I will likely start taking my pet back down to PDX for healthcare. It’s a pity that is place is so poorly run. At least the vet was amazing!
