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.

Now that I am retired and enjoy traveling, it is such a relief to me to know that wherever I’m at I can find a Banfield pet hospital nearby. My two dogs are well cared for anywhere. We travel with Banfield. Their records are always on file and I have never had a problem scheduling an appointment. Just this year, my partner, and I went on a two week cruise to South America, and boarded our pets at one of the Banfield pet hotels. This was the first time for our border collie, and he had his own room and ice cream at night as a treat. I received updates from Banfield call we were away and called them several times to check on him. When I returned, he was in terrific shape, and did not seem unhappy that he had had his own vacation. I will always have a wellness plan with Banfield!

Colin and Chase, 15 week old kittens in for their first well kitten visit since adopted. They seem none the worst for wear. The staff was helpful and informative.

We have been with Banfield for over 10 yrs! They have always taken great care of our babies. Yes there are times it’s hard to get in but if we can’t get in to see a vet in our preferred location we try to get in at a different location. But we have continued to stay with Banfield bc of their great caring and knowledgeable veterinarians.

I called to make an appointment for my dog for a couple of vaccinations. The first time I called to inquire about an appointment, I was (not) greeted by a very rude employee who sounded like she would love to be anywhere else but on the phone with me. She told me I would have to pay a visit fee ( which is totally fine, I understand that) and then told me she didn't know how much the vaccinations would cost. I called back a few minutes later, after getting a coupon for a free first visit from their website, and again, same rude employee who really acted like she didn't want to help me or care about my dog but also told me that " We are incredibly swamped right now" and she wouldn't ask her supervisor a question for me. I absolutely will not be coming here. I will call a local vet who cares about animals and their parents.

Great place!!! I love taking my dog here. She loves all this staff and friendly veterinarians. They always take great care of her when I have to drop her off. The atmosphere is great there. The place is really clean and the staff is very helpful. I love the Wellness Plan. It's very convenient and I can take my dog in if I have to have an unexpected visit . I love their hours and that they're open 7 days a week !!!!! We hope you enjoy your experience as much as my dog and I do❤🐶
