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.

So far, they have been pretty good. My only issues are a little lack of communication one time and a different issue where they still haven't followed through. I gave them his microchip number 3 appointments ago, and they have yet to put it in his charts. I signed up for their wellness plan, and my pup needed a shot that wasn't covered. I wish they would have communicated that it wasn't covered so that I could have made sure I could afford it first. Update: I guess it is so hard to find a doctor that they have only been open a couple of days a week for the past 3 months. They don't have any way to make an appointment outside of those days either. So, how are you supposed to get care for your pet if you can't ever get ahold of anybody. They won't take any of that into account when I tried talking to them about canceling my pet's wellness plan. How is it fair to charge me and then not be able to provide the services? Guess I will just take it up with my bank.

Best service at the best price. They really care for your pets. Had a pet in surgery and the Dr. came out to let us know how it went. Even spent a few minutes talking to us about the procedure. All of the employees are very thoughtful.

If going in for treatment of a pet and this is a FIRST visit, obtain an estimate of costs. 5 cats, wellness check, FELV snaptest and three vaccines per cat, $1,270.00. Go back four weeks later with 3 cats for two booster shots per cat, $327.00 reduced to $271.00. To me that more than high prices.

There are no Banfield visits anymore and I felt lost today. Our fur baby went to heaven last Sunday. The staff was fabulous with us always but especially during such a sad time for our family.

Had to cancel 1st appointment due to family emergency but they rescheduled and got my dog right in. Just moved in from out of state and was higher than I have been paying for same work but they were very professional and thorough. Dog seemed happy with experience and will definitely keep using Banfield. 🙂
