I've been waiting to write this but here I go. I feel that Banfield did nothing to help my dog and were driven more by the money they could make off of us then actually treating him. From the first time they saw him they were "concerned" about a mast cell tumor on his should that was not bothering my dog in anyway and didn't effect his health. They wanted us to continue with expensive tests and the operation to remove it at of course every nickel and dime that we could spend on him because we loved our dog. We had scheduled the operation to remove it the tumor but the previsit they decided to put my dog on probiotics and steroids to toughen him up for the operation and thats when he went down hill. I had a healthy, happy dog on a Friday and by Monday morning he was dead. I wish we never took our dog to Banfield to start with because the lack of care and compassion they had. I guess the only nice thing was the condolence card they sent and not being charged for it. RIP Weasley

My dog Lucy was sick from staying at the dog hotel while we were out of town. I was able to get a Sunday appointment and get my Lucy back to feeling better. The staff was very helpful!

2/24 update: i went ahead and emailed ‘banfield cares’ which only resulted in further insult. received a phone call consisting of - we’re sorry you felt offended by our harmless comment (your dogs a lemon) then they decided to add a new special one - how much i must’ve loved Ben considering i ‘only had him for 30 days’
they asked if id like them to look into cancelling my wellness plan. not sure if that was a rhetorical question but the absurdity of this conversation has me dropping this down to a 1 star. i would expect a certain level of professionalism but once again, left shocked and disappointed. let them know id appreciate any follow up concerning this to be done over email and was told that would be incredibly difficult for them, as they “don’t really do email”
what a nightmare this place is
original review:
i hope vets learn to prescribe systemic oral antibiotics in mill rescue cases where “better safe than sorry” might apply. especially when prescribing medicine (prednisone) that may lower immune system response. specifically when the owner is begging for them and sensing something wrong with their pet. i could care less about antibiotic resistance. instead, my dog is no longer with us. i know they told me he was a lemon but i still think with proper meds, he would’ve had a fighting chance. they may call it veterinary “practice” but i always saw it as consulting a professional. not anymore. ben was put on prednisone while having kennel cough. this turned into pneumonia. he never coughed or had a fever because he was on this steroid and he died of sepsis. we knew he had an ear infection with potential middle ear involvement. antibiotics could’ve saved his life. his last steroid dose 2/13 with normal temperature (no fever) - he died on 2/16 with a 106 temperature
- Prednisone is an immunosuppressant. It can hide classic infection signs like fever (by blunting the inflammatory response), make infections worse or harder to fight, and increase sepsis risk—especially if there's an underlying infection (high white blood cell count)
Vets (should) know this; guidelines warn about using steroids cautiously in pets with possible/undiagnosed infections because they can unmask latent ones or let them rage unchecked.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital
Does Banfield provide emergency care services?
No, but you can call us during hospital hours for urgent care advice. Depending on the situation, we can help provide a referral for urgent care, specialty providers, or to an emergency hospital. During non-hospital hours, please contact your local emergency hospital.
Can I get veterinary care online?
To help pets and their people stay healthy, Banfield clients who have Optimum Wellness Plans® can get remote general pet care advice and triage support directly from a veterinarian 24/7 through Vet Chat™ on the Banfield app.
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:
• Vaccinations
• Dental Care
• Parasite Control
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examinations
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.
• Optimum Wellness Plans® Virtual Visits: If you have an Optimum Wellness Plan and scheduled a Virtual Visit, you’ll save valuable time and get quality care from the comfort of your home.
