Banfield Modesto, Petsmart Mc Henry Avenue, has been experiencing a lack of Vetanarian on staff for months. Their plan cost $55.00 per month but they are seldom open for business. Automated service reflects limited 2 day a week and voicemail is full. They are still not open for business these limited days. Petsmart staff and Banfield Tracy has no idea when anyone will be working. Is it unreasonable that plan members be offered a refund or discount fee for an office that isn't open? Would perhaps a team member addressing calls daily, checking voicemail and updating automated service be reasonable. We've been going here with our dog for 5 years and autopaying $55.00 a month. Service was fine until now. It's as if corporate has allowed this location to just ghost their faithful customers. Unfortunately will be going elsewhere and hopefully one day someone will pick up the phone for records.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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