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.

Dr. Cotter and Christopher are wonderful! I have lived in CO for 6 years and seen many vets, Dr. Cotter is by far the most knowledgeable. He is a true Veterinarian that wants to help animals and not just sell you on this or that. My 9 yr old Frenchie has had a dry/flakey nose his entire life and no vet has ever been able to tell me why, Dr. Cotter diagnosed immediately. He knows what he’s doing. Very friendly/helpful staff, highly recommend this location!!

I had such an amazing experience at Banfield! The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and caring. They took the time to thoroughly explain everything about my pet Sam's health and treatment options. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone wanting the best care for their fur baby.

I walked into Banfield broken, desperate. What I found was a lifeline. Not just a vet, but a team that saw my fear, felt my worry, and met it with a level of compassion I've never known. They didn't just treat my pet; they treated me. In a world where indifference feels like the norm, Tova and her incredible team, who serve multiple Banfield locations, reminded me what genuine human connection looks like. They gave me hope when I had none. Tova, the veterinarian, and her team are exceptional, and I now know that this is the standard of care I can expect across the entire Banfield company. Because they don't just work at Banfield; they embody the Banfield spirit, bringing this level of dedication and compassion to every location they serve. If you want a vet who understands the unbreakable bond between you and your pet, a vet who will fight for them as if they were their own, there is only one choice: Banfield. They didn't just earn my loyalty; they earned my gratitude, my trust, and a piece of my heart. Thank you, Tova, and your amazing team, for bringing this exceptional experience to the Banfield on West 64th Avenue in Arvada today and for representing the consistent excellence of Banfield everywhere. --topher&tux

I wanted to thank Dr. Hinds and the team at Banfield for their love and compassion in helping us let go of our son, Stealth. We switched our cats to Banfield from Cheshire Cat hospital for a variety of reasons. Dr. Walden is our dog's vet at Banfield and he's wonderful and thorough so I knew our senior cats would be in excellent hands with their new vet. Unfortunately, our son was diagnosed with oral cancer and instead of pushing painful and expensive treatments on us, Dr. Hinds gave us options and in her professional opinion, she recommended palliative care - which is what we really wanted for him. She told us that no matter when we were ready to let him go she would be available. She was wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised by the suite we got for the process. The front desk technician put a candle out and card for our baby. The day before the appointment, several techs came to say goodbye to him - i was so touched. During his appointment, they gave us all the time we wanted with him through the process. I definitely cried ugly tears but I'm so grateful to our Banfield vet and team for everything they did for our boy. I definitely recommend this place.

Me and my wife came in to drop off my dog was very upset with one of the male nurses. He just took our dog and went to the back. Later picked up our dog we see he gave our dog vaccine and all this extra stuff that we had no idea. When we asked to speak to the manager about the situation Dontaya she heard our concerns and let us talk. I was happy with her services and high recommend her service. Very professional young lady and addressed all my and my wife’s concerns about everything and explained vivid details about vaccines and bloodwork that was done on our dog. Make sure to check if you guys are speaking to male nurses here clearly
