- KKKathy KelferDec 4, 20255.0I’ve been taking my 13 year old dog to Banfield for years. I know my dog is receiving the best care because we’ve been to other vets and she would not walk in the door. With this location, she walks right in and jumps on the scale every time. I think that sums it up the best! I do have to add that the staff is always pleasant and less still my concerns. Dr. Del Pino cleans her teeth every year - thoughtful, kind, and explains everything. My dog and I couldn’t be happier with her care!
- JMJose MurciaNov 24, 20255.0Love the people that work there, they are very kind with your fur babies I love taking them there. I would not take them anywhere else.
- ACAurora ChaviraOct 15, 20255.0Muy amables todos
- ADAlejandra DiazOct 10, 20251.0Took my dog once and never again. This place just cares about money. Any little service and they charge. They don’t care about your pets health.
- HMH MOct 9, 20255.0Dr. Hossein Amini is the best veterinarian I’ve ever worked with. He treated my dog Marley for IMPA with so much skill and compassion, and he explained every step clearly. We’re trying to find him again—does anyone know which clinic he’s at now in SoCal? (Happy to bring Marley wherever he’s practicing.) Thank you!
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.

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

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.
