Exploitative operation. They refuse to fill prescriptions written by their vets, even if the script is still valid, to try to get you to pay for additional office visits. They have stated heartworm medication is scrutinized by the state for chain of custody the same as narcotics; it’s not, they just want you to pay for another visit. At the office they prescribe unnecessary procedures, and unnecessary add ons for necessary procedures. You will have to determine what is necessary for your pets care, they will not give a clear answer to this question, and will subtly shame you for declining services that double your bill while providing zero change to clinical outcome. Find a local vet instead of supporting national chains which destroy customer value to satisfy shareholders

Went in for a morning drop off 6 month comprehensive exam. Wrote on the paperwork that I would pick up as soon as they were done. The tech told me that if I waited, they could squeeze my doggy in and get everything done quickly that morning. I really appreciate that the tech read my paperwork and made adjustments in treatment to make it work so my doggy didn’t have to spend the whole day at the vet.

I would love to give 5 stars. this is my local pet hospital where I take my dog. the reason for 4 stars is that it often feels like something is missing on the customer service side of things. maybe the staff need a raise. the service oftentimes doesn't feel streamlined. I'm sure my dog is getting quality care, however the communication isn't always the best. I visited another banfield location in northglenn when I lived on the other side of town and the vet called me, was intentional, focused, and open to any questions I had. unfortunately, this is not the same experience at this location. I'm not sure why it feels like something is missing, it feels like the front and back of the center aren't well connected somehow. I still bring my baby here and do my best to ensure I'm getting all the information I need. I do love having the banfield plan. I feel my pet is well looked out for.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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