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.

Friendly Staff, very welcoming, I took my dog to get his nails trimmed. I would like to especially thank Paula for going above and beyond her job duties. Today my dog Ruffus got loose while I was trying to put him into my Jeep. Through the glass window Paula saw and immediately ran to help me with a Banfield leash, running with me and stopping cars, I almost thought I would never see him again. As Paula handed Ruffus to me she told him, “ Good Bye Ruffus, be good and nice to your mom”. She then asked me if I was O.K. Since I fell running after him. Thank you Banfield staff and Paula for helping me catch and save my dogs life.

Great place, knowledgeable and caring staff, and a clean well kept facility. Have been to several vets in the past and by far, this is one of the best. Used to be a very SOLID 5 star rating. Lately, it seems way understaffed, check-in's are longer, and service/check-out wait times have almost tripled. Scheduled an appointment for one shot and was told our dog would receive it from vet tech and we would be in and out. When we arrived, we were told it would be a minimum 2hrs because vet tech was assisting the only doctor with 4 surgeries. Front desk checked with the on-site vet tech and confirmed 2 hour time frame. Then tried to check on status after waiting 5 hours and no one answers the phone. I really like Banfield and hope this is just a one time issue. ***update*** check in and check out have dramatically improved. Don't care for one particular front desk female, she is snooty and condescending. ***update*** check in and check out went great. Caring and knowledgeable staff. Only issue is that they try to upsell worse than a car salesman! What am I paying monthly for if everything is a recommendation. If it's so highly recommended, why isn't it include in the priciest wellness plan?

Super under staffed and over booked. Never book anything on Sunday or the weekend in general. I will be moving to a different banfield from now on. Or just canceling my wellness plan altogether. They are not a discount vet, you can get better personal service from any other vet. They do standard procedures for your pets and don't read over their individual conditions. The vet tech or doctor was supposed to call to discuss treatment, but after 2 hours I called and the vet tech said they already did tests that I never agreed on and are charging me for me. And he was out of breath and stuttering a little. They are overwhelmed. They need a bigger facility or more staff. 1st time I had issues was when they asked me to drop off my 13 year old Addisonian dog in first thing in the morning... and after all day of her sitting in a cage, no one had even seen her when I called at 5pm later that day. That should've been the red flag that stopped me but they promised that it wouldn't happen again. Now I sit in my car waiting for over 2 hours for a shot that takes literally 10 minutes anywhere else. I would not recommend. Had 6 clients in the lobby when the sign says limited to 2.

The whole crew in La Verne is absolutely fantastic. They love my kitties like I do and I can always trust them to take good care of my babies even if that means they aren't able to complete everything needed because my cat has reached her tolerance limit. Great group! Highly recommend.

Great location! Although they are a busy, they are also passionate, and diligent. We always feel the care they provide our pup, and our doggo feels it too. Our concerns are always address right here. I have used several other locations (Walnut, Covina, and West Covina) and this is by far my favorite. The level of care stands out. I would like to note that they are a busy location, so schedule and plan accordingly. On my most recent visit, it was visible that more staff was needed. They team there handled the rush like pros! However, working in that type of environment can lead to quick employee burn out. Nonetheless, great work guys! We appreciate you taking care of our little boy!
