I made an appointment, they called me to reschedule due to a number of surgeries they had to do that day, I reschedule and then they called me again to reschedule my appointment because they wanted to leave early, this behavior is severely incompassionate, my animal is sick and I made the first available appointment I could and they keep pushing it back not caring for the welfare or state of my animal and I tried to callback after the visit because my animal did not get better and they hung up on me. Marissa the receptionist was apathetic and rude, tried to speak to a manager after she hung up on me, She kept me on hold, called the storefront Petsmart and found out Banfield doesn’t have a manager, this may seem like an affordable option but they don’t care about you or your animal. Please go somewhere else

The people here, from the receptionist to the tech to the veterinarian, are very unfeeling. It’s uncomfortable when you go to get your pet some help and nobody really seems to care. You don’t want to be looked through and dismissed. Also, it was overpriced and I felt pressured to buy services that were not necessary. On top of all that, somebody kept slamming the door near our room and scaring my cat over and over.
Needless to say, I will not return

Front desk staff is usually very attentive and friendly.
However, it’s really tough to get a good provider consistently. One doctor was so bad, I had to call and request that she not ever see my pet again.
Then, another provider jumps to a prescription for anything you mentioned, rather than asking more questions and finding a root cause solution.
I’m not convinced the annual membership is worth it. I think once it’s over, I will just be getting pet insurance and finding a local, privately owned vet.

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:

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).

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.
