I love Banfield! Not only have they taken wonderful care of our furry family members during checkups but also during emergency visits. I have traveled with my fur babies from the West Coast to the East Coast too many times to count …. I take great solace in the fact that any Banfield across the nation can care for them.

Very pleased with the Banfield staff and the veterinarians in the El Segundo Petco. They have done an excellent job taking care of our pets. The only downside is having to drop them off instead of being able to stay with them. They have all been great.

Banfield is horrible. I took my cat here to get a simple check up on some lumps I was feeling on her tummy. My cats mom had the same thing I wanted to make sure that I was going to do all the steps early so that I can be informed of any tumors or growths. Banfield told me that my cat's tumors were benign, so I was happy to hear that. About a a few days later, my cat started experiencing some issues. She was becoming lethargic, not eating or drinking. When I told Banfield of this, they asked me to bring her back in. I told them no, because I felt that they did something to her. I wanted to get a second opinion from a different source. I had a mobile vet that came and checked on her, and they told me that she was basically dying. I don't know what Banfield did to my cat. But I was heartbroken. How does a simple checkup turn into my cat dying. I felt something was off the day I brought my cat home. I just couldn't explain it, but she just wasn't acting. The same, and then when I saw that she was becoming lethargic, and then it was having issues. I felt that banfield injected her with something else that I was unaware of I never asked for a vaccination. I never asked for anything else to be done to my cat. Except for a checkup on the tumors, which were benign. So if a cat's tumors are benign, and they promised me that they didn't do any vaccinations or shots or anything of that nature? Why would my cat be in such uh feeling of distress. Within 2 and a 1/2 weeks, my cat was gone. She was barely 6 years old and the love of my life. I will never trust Banfield. I even have a funny feeling about shopping at the locations where Banfield is being operated at.
I suggest that anyone that takes their animal to Banfield, but they look add the reviews before taking an innocent animal that can't speak and can't be heard for the pain and the suffering that they do at this hospital.
Please be aware that they have no care or sympathy for your pets.

I brought one of my comfort pets to Banfield in El Segundo when he wasn’t feeling well, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The vet assistants were gentle and clear, walking me through each step without pressuring extra services. They explained options for care and payment, which I really appreciated.
The veterinarian was best-in-class—thorough, compassionate, and transparent. He reviewed all the test results with me and explained that my pet has diabetes, then recommended the right food and care plan. He even made himself available for follow-ups, which gave me peace of mind.
Banfield’s programs are excellent, and despite being inside PetSmart, this clinic holds its own against the best vet offices in Los Angeles. Highly recommend.

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.
