For the record, everyone was polite & courteous, professional, pleasant, & welcoming. However, my 20 lb. young dog found the experience so traumatic that you felt compelled to prescribe for her sedatives / tranquilizers...
In my entire looong life, I'd never before ever had one of my dogs react like that to a vet visit. Something spooked her...[perhaps it could have been the sight and/or smell of the large, deceased dog that was carried in on a stretcher...in all candor, that freaked me out a bit !]
Nevertheless, I defer to my young dog's instincts; therefore, we won't be back; won't be participating in your Optimal Wellness Plan [which did seem to be Banfield's priority as I found mentioned as the basis for several class action lawsuits filed against Banfield]...,
Moreover, in 3 round trips there / back within a mere 6 hours that day, I did catch a momentary glimpse of the vet, but never once got to meet nor speak with him for even a moment.
Best wishes, & happy Thanksgiving to all...good luck...

The front desk staff was very unhelpful today. My appointment was at 5:30 pm and I was standing at the desk waiting to check in at 5:38 pm. The front desk girl had told me I was late and there was a 10 minute grace period. I then told her I was standing there at 5:38 waiting to be checked in. She then told me the doctor had left early for the day. Why have a 5:30 pm appointment if the doctor left early? Then a tech came to the front desk and she kept saying there is “sometimes” a 10 or 15 minute grace period. In the past I have ran a little late to appointments for Kilo but the front desk staff always told me I never needed to call and there was always a 15 minute grace period. The front desk staff was very unhelpful and needs to learn their protocols and policies. You cannot say there is a grace period “sometimes”, when in the appointment policies it states there is a 15 minute grace period.

Everyone there is always so nice at Banfield. From the staff to the doctors just everyone. I had to put my doggie down and it was devastating, but I felt comfort in how much they cared.

Went in last week when my dog was under the weather. The vet tech warned me that the vet would probably want to do blood work and test for pancreatitis. Something they’ve never suggested when I’ve brought my dog in for diarrhea before. I thought surely after the vet looked at her he would decide that wasn’t necessary.
Nope. Not even 5 minutes later he calls and says he NEEDS to run blood work and pancreatitis test ($300+). Mind you, her only symptom that matched pancreatitis was diarrhea.
Declined and took her to a different Banfield location the next day who didn’t want to run any tests or even give her medication because she seemed totally ok. After a few days of a bland diet she was back to normal! Seems suspicious too me. Lucky we didn’t fall for it.
We do like Banfield and the wellness plan and the convenience of what they offer but this is your warning to be careful before accepting any test the vet throws at you.
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.
