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.

My cat was supposed to have just gotten a shot and they decided not to tell us and do a different exam on top of the shot. I checked with the person at the counter and verified that we are only doing the shot today, and they said yes. So they tacked on an extra $40 for an exam we didn't request. Wont ever be using Banfield. Heard bad things about them but when we got our cat, they were on the list for free welfare check per petsmart and Banfield recommended some shots, which we got. But adding stuff on top without disclosing it, just wrong. And they labeled our 9 month old kitten as aggressive? Seriously? I guess these so called “vets” cant tell between aggressive and scared. So disappointed at the experience. Banfield care team, or whoever reads this, don't even bother reaching out.

We went to Banfield for a slight emergency visit. The service we received was so wonderful, in fact so good that we established care as new patients with Banfield. Thanks guys for taking care of our fur baby, Roxy!

Go somewhere else. They will charge you for everything, I was misquoted a price (office visit and pain meds weren’t mentioned) costed me over $500 to get a cat neutered when it was all said and done. You can get same quality of care for atleast half the price. Ladies at the front were nice is why I gave 2 stars

I brought my dog in for a nail trim, my appointment was double booked and they told me to drop him off. 10 minutes after dropping him off I was told his services were completed and that they could not trim his nails without a sedative due to a heart murmer. After getting told of all the things that could possibly be wrong with an almost 9 year old dog, I got guilt closed out of fear to run extra tests on my dog (which came back negative of course). What started as a quick attempt to get his nails trimmed and an updated rabies shot turned into an all day $230 fiasco that left my dog a shell of himself for the next day and a half due to sedating him with unnecessary drugs that he has never required before for such a simple errand. Banfield is not nearly as interested in helping pets as it is about extorting their owners financially.

Took our furr baby here because he woke up without the ability to walk. Upon dropping him off we requested that they express his bladder since he had already gone more than 12 hours without using the restroom. Come to find out, they did not express his bladder, But told us we needed to wait for the pay medication to kick in. I asked how many Days to wait, And they stated two days (which would be 3 days that he will go without using the restroom). Upon doing research, and Getting a second opinion from another experience vet, Going longer than 12 hours without using the restroom is an emergency.... And the bladder should be expressed immediately. They merely forgot, And tried backing up their mistake with false information. **The experience was great, However, they failed in doing what we asked and Gave us incorrect information that could harm our furr baby more than what he already is.**
