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.

This clinic was great! On time so professional and they truly care about your pet! Nina at the front desk was very helpful and Dr.Myers was amazing as well. Thank you for taking such great care of Milo he would give you 10 stars if he could!

They had my pick up ready and bagged when I got there. They knew exactly who the person was who it belonged to, and I was early with my delivery. The two women that were there were very helpful and knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. I don't live far from there. I believe I'll just go there to get my pet food from now on.

I’ve had my two dogs on their wellness program for over 5 years. One puppy get sick on Monday 8/7, I called to get him in and was told they didn’t have a vet that day and did not know if they would on 8/8. I called Bansfield on 144th they never bothered to call me back. Dog was getting sicker , I called 8/9 and was told they couldn’t see him until next week. I’ve paid over $6000 for wellness plans and when you really need them this is what you get. No thanks I’m done with them

We have pet insurance with them for ten years now and their website for managing payments is very bad. Overall user experience is bad to say the least. Calling their customer service is whole other problem, endless wait times. Never buying their insurance again

They made an appointment within an hours notice to help treat my cats allergic skin rash that popped up over night. Savanna at the front desk was lovely, knowledgeable and very helpful. The vet and her assistant were even quicker, so thorough and made my usually difficult beast, calm and happy while treating her. In and out within 30 minutes, medicine in hand. It was a little pricey but for a Saturday afternoon last minute and her being a new patient- $90 is a steal. Will be using this vet in the future.
