Could of saved me 100$ plus telling me about the wellness plan on my first day with them.but the doctor refused to mention it. They don't care about your pet or you they just work there. Everytime i walk in it's 300$ or more . Starting to leave a bad taste In my mouth!

I made an appointment online 3 days ago. Today, I received a phone call from Banfield informing me that my appointment can only be a drop-off, because they don't do morning appointments at this location. I got an email from Banfield the day I made my appointment with a confirmation. Now, 3 days later, I got this phone call where they explained to me that what I did was a "request", not an appointment. Of course, I made an appointment and even got a confirmation email. If you go to the website right now, you can still see the available times to make appointments they won't take. I was also informed, in this phone call, that each hospital has its own way to take appointments, but there's absolutely nowhere on the website where this information is displayed. And it took them 3 days to let me know this important information. So please remove this useless option from your website, as it is a disrespect to people's time and emergencies. Thank you.

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.

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

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.
