- RCRicardo L. CortezNov 6, 20255.0Excellent service and attention to detail. I recommend them.
- BMBradly MerrellOct 29, 20255.0Optimum wellness plan is worth the cost. The vet visit today was more than the cost of the plan, and you get 2 visits a year on the plan that I have. All the vaccines and medications, blood work, fecal test are included in the plan. In my opinion, well worth the cost.
- FRFreydell ReyesOct 15, 20255.0Excellent service!!!
- DPDavid PilusoSep 12, 20255.0The folks at Banfield are caring, compassionate, patient and exceptionally knowledgeable. During my last visit, Dakota and Doctor Pepper were so helpful and kind when my girl Rosie was having health issues. Everyone is patient and takes the time to make sure I know what/how to do to care for my girl. I've been going to Banfield for 13 years, and wouldn't go anywhere else for my pet's health care. I also appreciate their Optimum Wellness program. It helps me keep on top my my girl's health needs, and it's something I've recommended to many friends.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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