- ELElizabeth LeesonDec 20, 20251.0This place is probably fine for vaccines and routine work, but if your pet is sick, I recommend taking them somewhere else. There are better places with similar price points in the area. We took our cat here when he was sick and the first visit with Dr. Spangler was amazing. She clearly explained and prepped us for possible outcomes. However, there is a clear lack of communication skills in this office. We were scheduled for the wrong kind of follow up appointment, charged for things they didn’t perform, and when we finally got him in for surgery with another Dr there, they almost killed my cat. I took him to another vet that actually let me speak with the Dr before the procedure instead of playing telephone. We ultimately had to put our baby down, but it was for something that should have been caught/communicated to us when he was seen at Banfield for his last appointment there. Because we had to switch vets, it cost us thousands on top of the “care plan” Banfield locked us into for a year. So now I’m stuck here paying monthly vet costs with a dead cat. Do better.

- TLTina LarabellDec 10, 20255.0Dr. Blackman’s team is amazing! You can tell they truly care.
- PCPatty ChakourOct 15, 20255.0Magic loves her caregivers at Banfield Pet Hospital! The Vets and Vet Techs are highly trained, friendly, and take the time to explain our girl’s care. We have had Magic on the monthly medical insurance plan for seven years and haven’t had to pay any additional out of pocket costs for her care. I highly recommend Banfield for all of your furbabies medical needs!

Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital
Does Banfield provide emergency care services?
No, but you can call us during hospital hours for urgent care advice. Depending on the situation, we can help provide a referral for urgent care, specialty providers, or to an emergency hospital. During non-hospital hours, please contact your local emergency hospital.
Can I get veterinary care online?
To help pets and their people stay healthy, Banfield clients who have Optimum Wellness Plans® can get remote general pet care advice and triage support directly from a veterinarian 24/7 through Vet Chat™ on the Banfield app.
What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?
We believe that preventive care is the most effective way to keep your pet healthy throughout all stages of life. Our pet hospitals offer many preventive care treatments, including:
• Vaccinations
• Dental Care
• Parasite Control
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examinations
What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?
Optimum Wellness Plans are designed to provide annual preventive care. They include head-to-tail exams, vaccines, early screening diagnostics, consultations for proper nutrition, dental care and more! Since wellness plans are not insurance, they do not include treatment for unpredictable or abnormal conditions, however discounts would apply. Because pets need ongoing preventive care, wellness plans automatically renew at the end of each twelve month period (unless paid in full at enrollment).
How do I pay for an Optimum Wellness Plan?
You can spread the cost of your wellness plan across the 12 months of your annual agreement to make it easier to budget for the essential health care your pet needs. Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll. We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
• In-room appointments: You and your pet visit the vet together. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment time
• Drop-off appointments: If you have a drop-off appointment, we will communicate a time to drop off your pet. Keep your phone nearby and we’ll call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
• Optimum Wellness Plans® Virtual Visits: If you have an Optimum Wellness Plan and scheduled a Virtual Visit, you’ll save valuable time and get quality care from the comfort of your home.
