I take my dog Rocky to this location and they are absolutely amazing! Any time I needed an appointment they made accommodation and gave me an appointment to bring him in.
I now have a new dog Coco that needed to be checked asap and although it was last minute they took him in and provided excellent service and explained everything properly.
Thank you to the staff at this location. We appreciate it.

This was one of the worst customer-service experiences I’ve ever had at a veterinary clinic.
My dog needs an LDDS test because of high liver enzymes. This is not optional or cosmetic—it’s a serious diagnostic test. Yet the Banfield location in Chatsworth (91311) acted like scheduling it was a burden. They pushed back, resisted, and initially refused to book the appointment. It took a manager from another Banfield hospital calling them just to get an appointment made for today. That alone tells you how poorly this location is managed.
When I arrived, I was 20 minutes late. I understand punctuality matters, but what happened next was unacceptable: they immediately used that as an excuse to refuse to perform the test, with zero effort to help or problem-solve. An LDDS test involves timed blood draws every 4 hours, so a professional clinic would explain options clearly, offer a modified plan if possible, or at minimum reschedule in a reasonable way. Instead, they acted like they were looking for a reason to turn us away.
The practice manager, Katie, was hostile, dismissive, and confrontational. Her behavior was not just “busy” or “having a bad day”—it was outright disrespectful. I asked for the next available date or any alternative appointment, and she refused to schedule anything. No solutions. No accountability. No concern for my dog’s health. Just attitude.
Bottom line: If your pet needs real medical attention and you expect basic professionalism, avoid this Banfield in Chatsworth. They wasted my time, added stress during a health issue, and showed zero empathy or willingness to help. I will not be returning, and I strongly suggest you take your pet to a clinic that actually cares and behaves professionally.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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