Way too expensive for a "life-jacket" for your pets. Your pets are healthier without capitalism stealing your money. Don't go here.

Our dog was having seizures and the animal control services where we adoptedbhim did not have any way to help. My wife and kids were horrified and sad.
.
The doctor we saw at Banfield took time to do explain all our options and help us come up with a good plan. Zeus has been on meds now for six months and is doing much better. Last week when we came in for a check up, the ENTIRE staff helped us. They showed me the best way to pay for services and how to keep costs lower in the future. He needed to up his meds (cause he has been growing). The staff truly cared and even called me to follow-up after hours, just to make sure he got his meds/all the help he needed.
.
To some people he is a dog but to my family Zeus is our best friend and has nothing but ❤️ for every human he sees. You can see in his eyes he is just happy and controlling his seizures makes all the difference to him. Thank you so much to everyone at Banefield.

Dorped off my dog last time with no problem. This time I am not an authorized person, although all my info is on the account. Made an appointment 2 weeks prior. Now can't be seen. Waiting for a call to drop her off. This is highly inconvenient customer no service! Last appointment I dropped her off, picked her up and paid with no problems. Young receptionist made light of my dogs infection and snicked when I told her this was a follow up for the infection.

Horrible care team. My two cats were diagnosed poorly. They should have suggested a leaner diet instead of insulin. Will never go back!

Banfield pushes for late afternoon appointments because it accomdates the Vet not it's customers, We can NEVER get an convenient appointment time.. Banfield also pushes a "contact free" comprehensive exam where you have to drop off your pet for at least 4/5 hours to be seen. We are considering cancelling when our contract is up this fall.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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