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.

Banfield has been a blessing to our dog Sunday. I’m glad I found a trusted veterinary that provides updates during each visit, appointment reminders and remembers my dog by name only after two visits. All the staff are so friendly and love on my baby girl Sundae at each visit.

So, being newly accustomed to our family pet's diabetes, having been off to college and not really being present to hands-on manage our family dog's diabetes, I believe it's absolutely normal to have a lot of questions. Lydia, the Manager of this location has stated that the chief of staff has made it apparent to her that even for questions regarding my dog's diabetes, I am to pay $67 every time I call them. Please avoid this location and all other banfields. Dr. Ortiz herself is great but management--not so much. They lack empathy and an ethical standard of business.

I love coming to this location. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable! They take the time to get my family's needs and my furbabies are comfortable going here. All of my concerns are addressed in a timely manner and I've felt confident in the services provided for the past 9 years. We love Dr. Ortiz and highly recommend the Irving Banfield location. I had a horrible experience once when we went to Banfield at Arlington Highlands where a girl in the staff was horribly condescending, degrading, argumentative, and completely rude. It was an instance when we needed to drop my babies off for boarding so we could travel and my youngest had 2 healing scratches that needed to get checked by Banfield to be considered healing. As a healthcare professional and attentive dog mom, I understood the 2 scratches were healed, but the girl at Banfield met us with a terrible attitude and seemed to just want to argue. Another tech at the Arlington location actually listened to us to address our concerns and the immediate issue was resolved. However, I did NOT feel comfortable or confident during that whole initial experience with Brandy, the first tech. It was absolutely, excruciatingly horrific and I still remember it from 1 year ago. That said, I have NEVER experienced anything except professionalism and caring from South Irving 183 Banfield. Just wish they offered boarding.

Monse is an absolute delight on the phone. She helped me figure out a microchip issue fast and effectively. 10/10. Thank you so so so much.
