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.

It was my first time ever there. I brought in Harvey my new puppy. Harvey loved everyone there and probably would stay there all day if he could. Can’t wait to go back as I know how much they liked Harv and how much he liked them. All questions answered. Staff was Amazing! Especially Shae and Katelyn!

I have been taking my frenchie to this banfield for almost 7 years, back when it was still located in the Petsmart. We pay monthly for the dog health maintenance plan and we have always had a good experience. Our dog is seen twice a year for vaccines and baseline preventative testing, we get text reminders, and the staff is always very kind and knowledgeable. I have never felt pressured to do anything extra or unnecessary. Their recommendations have always been to the benefit of my dog.

Terrible experience! Brought our dog here as he got sick unexpectedly. There was NO transparency in care, the medical issue our family dog was having, or what are potential next steps we can take for our pet. Our dog unfortunately passed away suddenly due to veterinary negligence from this Banfield. I would NEVER recommend bringing your pet to this location!

The staff are very friendly and answered all my questions for my puppy’s first vet appointment! They explained my options thoroughly and helped me sign up for the puppy plan to ensure my little guy is well taken care of!

I had brought my dog in for an infection in his right ear, which was treated and healed nicely. A few weeks later at his check-up for his right ear, the vet had mentioned that his left ear was looking a little inflamed, and that we should "keep an eye on it". Quite literally the next day his left ear was bright red, swollen, and causing pain to him. I called back and tried to schedule a follow-up visit for him, but was told the soonest I could get in was more than a week later, so I took that and tried my best to treat it at home. After I was able to get my dog back in to get treated for his left ear, I asked the staff why they did not treat his ear as soon as they saw it was irritated. To which I was told by the vet, and I quote, "I got my lefts and rights mixed up". So my dog was in unnecessary pain for over a week because the staff could not tell which ear they had previously treated. And now, I was supposed to have three of my pets (which are all on wellness plans) get their teeth cleaned tomorrow, only to be told less than 24 hours in advance that they will not have surgery staff for the procedure tomorrow for two of them and that I need to reschedule after I have already taken time off work. And now I am being told that I have to wait another month to get their dental cleanings done... All in all, very disappointed with the service that I am receiving, especially considering how much I am paying every month for their wellness plans. Why offer a wellness plan when I have to wait weeks to get my pets seen??
