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.

Great customer service when you are there. BUT Thats if you can make an appointment. Called multiple times over two weeks and no one picks up or calls back. Call went through once and was out on hold for 24 (23 minutes and 41 seconds) minutes then it goes straight to voicemail. Management needs to do better.

This place is the BEST!! Jason who is at the front desk is super supportive and very helpful, he ALWAYS provides excellent customer service. Teresa who cleans my dog Chloe's ears and clips her nails is also very kind and helpful. They also have other staff members that are just as kind and helpful!! (So sorry I can't recall their names) Last but not least, is the very BEST VETERINARIAN- DR. WASHINGTON!!!! I've been a customer with Banfield for over 20 years and I must say that finding Dr. Washington a couple of years ago was heaven sent. I trust him and most importantly, I feel very confident having Chloe under his care. Dr. Washington is by far the best!! He's been in the business for many years and his experience truly makes him an exceptional Dr. Lastly, it is totally worth it to purchase the Banfield insurance plan. The savings far outweighs the cost.

Super rude and sarcastic guy at the desk. Refused to help me with my dog’s prescription dog food renewal. He insisted that we needed a paper prescription from our vet after I had just spoken to someone over the phone who said they could accept a vet’s authorization over the phone. So, an hour’s drive wasted and it’s a holiday weekend. Thank you Banfield for your lack of care for pets. Hoping my dog doesn’t get sick from not eating her vet prescribed food. Chewy will get our business from now on.

They never have appointments available. In any location I have tried they book me for a month or two later which is very concerning.
