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.

They have an affordable wellness plan with different options. This allows you to have no charges for your visit and different perks depending on your plan. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I am super happy with my service so far

I currently pay about $60 a month for the pet insurance program. It is not worth it I just took my dog to this hospital last week and end up paying almost $600. Why am I paying $60 a month if I’m gonna have to pay $600 to simply get a test done for the dog. This program to me seems to be a rip off it is not worth the money. Is it is if they’re taking advantage of the customers that are coming to the hospital. I was told that the test would cost $374. The other test was almost $200. I end up paying almost $600. I’m absolutely disgusted by this pet insurance program that this hospital offers. I would advise anyone to be extremely careful with signing up for this program because it’s almost a waste of money. Money does not grow on trees, although I love my dog it just seems like it’s a rip off. This test only took about 15 minutes and cost me $600 out-of-pocket just doesn’t add up.

Shame on this company!! Our love of our life was euthanize this week. Sadest day of our life. Tried cancelling our wellness plan only to be told it's a contract and still have to pay the next 7 months even though our pet is no longer with us. Truly unethical considering your worst loss and emotional only to be told you are in a contract. We all know that's not how they are selling the wellness plan on the store. Fyi e still have not heard anything from them. Beware

I obviously love the care that the staff provides to Dakota. We have been to a Banfield in which ever city we have lived. They are super convint by providing drop off appointment services. Having the health insurance really helps with cost of certain treatments during our visits.
