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.

Be aware! This place is not interested about your pet well-being. They immediately wanted to sell us their insurance plan. If you make an appointment, you’ll have to wait at least an hour. They took our dog away without explaining anything. She was there just for a routine exam. They are not willing to do routine exam in front of the owners. We walked out and will never go back.

I brought my 2 cats to this Banfield location yesterday and I am very impressed! The lobby is clean and inviting. The staff were all very friendly to me and caring toward my pets. They were knowledgeable and helpful in discussing medication and steps I could take to help resolve the issue my cats are having. The doctor was very thorough and explained the conditions, medication and details of the issue very concisely. Today they followed up to see how my cats were doing since yesterday's visit. I was not expecting that but it made me happy to know they would take the time to do that. It made an impression on me! I will absolutely be going back to this veterinary clinic for all of my cat's medical needs. Thank you for a great experience!

Very thorough service and care. I appreciate the small touches and effort the staff put into every patient and their fur-parents. Vega never fails to put a smile on your face whether it's on a call or when you walk in. Dr. Jill is very thorough and detailed when it comes to pet consultation and care. So far no negative experiences. It has been our regular vet of choice for our fur-baby!
