- JCJeff CarrNov 12, 20254.0They take care of your pet if it was their own pet
- ACAmy Batchelor CampagnaNov 5, 20251.0I 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.
- NCnana chuSep 10, 20251.0I 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.
- BGbarbara greenSep 2, 20254.0Doctor was very nice and thorough. First time and it seemed pretty expensive. They want you to subscribe to their monthly plan.
- CSCharese SmithJun 27, 20255.0All 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.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital

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.
