    I got their “wellness plan”. I thought by paying $70+ per month was a good deal to keep my dog well. So I scheduled “free teeth cleaning” and a “free ear cleaning” covered by my “wellness plan”. They charged me $150+ and gave my dog an ear infection. I called them the next day about her ears and they made me pay $300+ to treat the ear infection that they gave her. I tried to cancel my plan and it wasn’t possible so I’m stuck in the yearly contract. I wouldn’t recommend it.

    I recently took my dog to Banfield for a dental procedure, and I’m very disappointed with the experience. When I dropped my dog off in the morning, the staff went over the procedures so quickly, using a lot of medical terms, and refused to slow down or provide a printed copy for me to review before signing. After the procedure, I was shocked to receive a bill over $1,000. One of the charges was for a “pedicure,” which I would have never agreed to since my dog had just been groomed. When I asked why this was included in a dental appointment, the response was simply that they “like to do it while the dog is asleep.” It doesn’t seem like they even checked whether my dog’s nails needed trimming. My dog’s nails are now cut extremely short—so short that I can see the nerves (see photos). This is unacceptable and shows a lack of professionalism and care. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being taken advantage of as an Asian and non-local customer, with unnecessary procedures added just to drive up the bill. Whether intentional or not, it left me questioning their fairness and integrity.

    Doctor was very nice and thorough. First time and it seemed pretty expensive. They want you to subscribe to their monthly plan.

    All of the staff are super nice. They answered every question and took the time to get to know my anxious dog before just giving her shots. Appointment was easy to make online and lots of open times to chose from. We will be going back with my other dog as well.
