- ACAndrea CochraneDec 11, 20255.0I’ve had great experiences with Banfield. They take time to explain everything and answer any questions. The health plan also gives me confidence that I can have routine and some unplanned care provided without unexpected large expenditures.
- JNJordyne NeminskeSep 30, 20252.0I had a pretty disappointing visit with my dog today. We were coming in for a routine visit and bordatella vaccine. Unlike our usual visits, this time, a vet did not come in to talk to me about my dog. Instead, she was taken back and returned by a tech who had been instructed to push their new access pet insurance plan. I declined four times. I understand the corporate push to have people sign up, but if the care of my dog is to be hindered on whether or not I sign up for an unnecessary $20/month plan, I’ll gladly take her somewhere else.
- TKTom KielySep 18, 20255.0The office manager and the receptionist awesome people made my dog doctor visit especially easy put me on an awesome plan now my pet is covered for the year Thank you again to the office manager and the receptionist
- RRRmvazqueSep 15, 20255.0Provided great service 👍 found out what my doggie wasvsick of and received medicine.
- JNJames NogaSep 14, 20251.0Went in for a heartworm test for one of my dogs (already pulled the other 3 from this location after Dr. Butlers departure). We called Friday to schedule an appointment and was assured it would be fine he wants not on the medication they previously were supposed to put a prescription in for (which was also in their notes and the confirmed they saw the note). Arrive today and get told they cannot do the test due to his stress. Doctor can’t look me in the eye while explains everything but can happily tell me the schedule to put my dog on for his medications. My dog then comes back into the room Unmuzzled and I notice his back two paws are bloody but I don’t mention it to them because I just want to get my dog and myself out of there. Needless to say we will not be returning to Banfield and have had negative interactions both times since Dr Butler has left.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

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).

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.
