- TCTony Catalano3 days ago5.0I cannot say enough about Banfield. If I could give them a 6/5 I would. Being a corporate Pet Hospital I expected it to be well run and operate like a large facility but every time we took our dog there we felt like we were at a small private Vet Hospital. Everyone was friendly, outgoing, helpful and you could tell they loved what they did for a living. It wasn't just a job for the staff, it was a career helping animals. Dr. Hicks, Dr Graves and the entire staff at the Brandywine location are Amazing. They went above and beyond on more than one occasion and genuinely care about the pets they are seeing. When our dog being having issues, they were quick, responsive and did their best to help guide us through the tough time. I could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Banfield Brandywine to anyone who is not sure where to go.
- ASAngelic Suarez-SalcedoNov 14, 20251.0The one star is for my last visit. I brought my Georgie in last Saturday to address end of life concerns and options to keep him comfortable. Dr Graves completely dismissed my concerns, told me my dog looked great (mind you, he had almost two pound wt loss since last visit in September, labored breathing-Dr Graves asked for the muzzle to be removed because "he didn't like how he was breathing", decreased appetite, increased urination-he was in a diaper at the visit and Dr Graves asked why 🤦🏻♀️, fatigue, and new onset vomiting) and prescribed a two week course of lasix and cough meds for his CHF which I reluctantly agreed to. Fast forward 4hrs later, Georgie had collapsed with what appeared to be a seizure, had a similar episode at 4am and by 5am he took his last breath in my arms. I know there was no treatment/med to cure him but my main concern was to make sure he was comfortable and would not suffer otherwise I would have requested euthanasia. A little empathy, understanding, and reassurance would have been appreciated but I received none of that. I left almost feeling guilty for bringing him in as I was looked at like I just wanted to put my dog down. I will never bring another pet here because of this experience. I will give kudos to Dr Hicks for the wonderful care he provided to Georgie when he injured his leg in the spring and also for the initial diagnosis and treatment for CHF. He listened, was compassionate, and recommended reasonable treatments for Georgie.
- WJWanda JenkinsSep 15, 20251.0My Smokey was hearing perfectly well until I was told the he had an ear infection. His ears was packed with Steroids and antibiotics and now he can't hear at all. I wonder what happened. That's why you get a 1 star.

- SSSarah StoneyAug 16, 20255.0Dr. Hicks and his staff are the best VET team we have ever had! They love our boys, Maverick and Goose, as much as we do! We always trust leaving them in their care ❤️🐾

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.
