    My dog has always been of good health but recently the poor girls been acting more fatigued and I'm really beginning to see my dog as being ill. Since my job doesn't pay well and money is tight as it is I was wondering how much a check up would be at Petsmark banfield pet hospital would be. Any insight would be helpful since my dog isn't a pet its more like family.

    Thanks Clutch Fam for any help

    Call the Vet's office and get an accurate estimate.

    I would check out a local independant vet. Banfield is a big corporation. They will guilt trip you into testing the animal for anything and everything. The tests are not cheap. After the results are back, they say your dog just has a cold.

    Banfield price range ~ $200-$300.

    How old and breed is she?

    Glad to see I am not the only one advising this. Just do a google search on banfield. Many horror stories. Like I said before , find a local independant vet.

    This place is reasonable and the vet is very knowledgeable and staff is very nice. I've been to others where the staff seemed unfriendly and the costs were generally higher. Couldn't hurt to call and ask for an estimate on a check up.
