Things were a bit chaotic on getting an appointment. They do not have a front desk person so sometimes you stand around a while before you get noticed. I went for an appointment and the Dr was busy so I had to reschedule for the next day at the end of the day. I came back and it took forever to get seen. I finally saw the Dr and he was nice and very informative. I had a coupon for a Free 1st time visit so it was worth my time. Im glad I was told I was doing everything correct to help my dog and her wound on her head. I did get some allergy tablets to help with her new found allergies moving here to California.

In my experience with Banfield Canoga Park, the staff has always been helpful and caring with my dogs. Since the time I started with them while living in Kansas to when we moved here to the valley, Banfield has been wonderful with my girls through thick and thin. Attentive, professional, and personal.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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.
