MSCAT: I have a health plan with Banfield Hospital, which is affiliated with PetsMart. I found that my old vet, who has three different offices, and is highly rated, just became too expensive after I was permanently laid off. The cost for a teeth cleaning alone at that vet's was going to be over $850.00, PLUS anesthesia! The total cost, per YEAR, with Banfield, for Graysee's health management plan, is $407.10. I pay that, up front, every year, and don't need to concern myself for twelve more months! That includes ALL office visits, vaccinations, one free screening and complete teeth cleaning (including xrays), low-cost extraction (which she needs this year), discounts on all prescription meds, and much more. I did research on the Banfield organization, and found nothing objectionable. I'd look into Banfield, to see if there are any in your area; they are reasonable, and are open 7 days a week.
