This place is absolutely incompetent. I made an appointment online called to confirm they didn’t have it so they offered me a drop off. I said no that I wanted one with a vet, so I waited a little bit longer to get in there, of course they made it for drop!! That I specifically said I did not want! they were trying to get me to agree before they even examine him for procedures that they don’t even know if I needed them, and they trying to get to except third-party marketing and advertising. Do not recommend this Vet office. Worst experience I have EVER had with a veterinarian office in my 50 years which I have been to a lot

What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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