At Banfield Pet Hospital, we know how much fun and joy your furry friends bring you. We also know how important it is for you to take care of their wellness. That’s why it’s our mission to offer general petcare services for dogs and cats in San Pedro, CA. Bring your kitten in for their first vaccination, or help prevent fleas from taking a nibble out of your canine counterpart.
My cat has been going to Banfield since 2013 and overall it has been a very pleasant experience. The front office staff, Vets and Vet Technicians are thorough and caring towards my cat. They also take time to explain issues/conditions to you when necessary. I started my cat on her Optimum Wellness Plan in the beginning due to the high cost of a dental cleaning. Most cats get periodontitis, so it's important so they can eat as they get old. It is included, along with routine vaccinations and two comprehensive exams per year. Her healthcare is affordable since you can spread out routine healthcare costs over monthly payments. It is more economical than paying separately for each service/need. The convenience of a one-stop shop matters also. Perks like 24/7 online virtual pet care, office visits, and 15% discount for whatever is not included in the plan. Costs have gone up, but my monthly premium has remained reasonable and affordable over the years. I recommend an Optimum Wellness Plan to anyone who aims to keep their pet healthy. When I moved, there was always a Banfield in the vicinity, many times inside of a PetSmart store. When I adopt another pet, I will not hesitate to enroll her in an Optimum Wellness Plan with Banfield.

Banfield San Pedro is a wonderful place to bring your animals! All of the staff are amazing and so kind! My cats enjoy going to vet here and always leave in a good mood even when they are going in not feeling well. So lucky to have found them! Very transparent with pricing and options for your animals. They have great options outside of pet insurance with their wellness plans, too! We usually see Dr. Polcari, but when she is not there we always have great experiences with every Dr. !

My favorite location. Although it's part of the Banfield brand, this location feels like a neighborhood vet. It's always clean and they are friendly and knowledgeable. I also like that if I need a quick allergy shot for my pup, they squeeze him in if they can. Just great all around. thank you team :-)

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.
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.
