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.

Levittown customer service is terrible. The people up front are fine and polite but the vets do not get back to you. My dog was there on 9/20 and I was told by Dr. Bruno I would have the results in a "COUPLE" of days. After placing several phone calls to inquire and a week later no one has gotten back to me and everyone is too busy - even the office manager who I asked to speak with. Terrible customer service!

Banfield Levittown is top notch. I have a big scary looking dog and they see past that and treat him with kindness, compassion and professionalism. I truly trust Dr. T and the her staff 100% with my dog. I can honestly say they treat my boy like he is their own. I highly recommend this location!

Excellent doctors and staff. Minor issue with the amoung of dog hair in exam rooms My dog has short hair but I always leave with excessive amounts of long dog hair one. I got a short haired dog because of allergies and the long hair doesn't help.

Absolutely the worst customer service experience I have ever had!!! They refused to see my dog because I was almost 15 minutes late for the appointment. I said I understand I am a little late but it was out of my control. I was stuck in traffic. I took off from work early to get there. I offered to stay there until the end of the day if necessary but was told it didn’t matter, their policy is not to service you on that day if you are late regardless if they are busy or not. I asked to speak to a manager and was told there was no manager on duty and they would have someone call me back tomorrow. I said that will not help me now, I need to get the meds for my dog. I waited the better part of two weeks for this appointment. The counter person I spoke to said the policy is the policy and the vet on duty said I would not be seen today, period! Again, I calmly explained that I took off from work early to get there but they did not care and said I could reschedule another appointment. I was told the next available weekend appointment is July 17th, 18 days from now otherwise I would have to take off from work again for a mid week mid day appointment. This was not my first time using this locations services and I haven’t had any issues before. I just don’t understand how they can alienate a repeat customer. I get it, I was late but come on…. This is terrible customer service. I spoke with the PetSmart store manager and was told they have nothing to do with the vet service, they operate as a separate entity. I will wait for the managers call tomorrow and see what happens. I hope this was just a case of cranky staff on duty and not their corporate policy. Very disappointed to say the least

I was skeptical at first, but have brought all my pets here for the last several years and been so happy with the appointment availability, courteous staff and excellent care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for well care or routine procedures.
