We had to put our cat down and they did such an incredible job and was the most beautiful and gentle pet death I've ever seen. They had a fluffy blanket and lots of treats for her to eat. The room was warm and comfy not sterile and cold like I thought it would be, and the staff was so kind and sincere. All things I was worried about. They gave us all the time we wanted with her. She was so peaceful, no pain. Thank you for giving our baby girl the passing that she deserved.

When I took my diabetic dog to Banfield in Seminole to manage her diabetes, one of the doctors volunteered to be her primary vet to manage her diabetes. At that point, my dog (who lost an eye to cancer), could catch treats or a ball and see me.
8 weeks later, the same doctor told me she was too inexperienced with diabetes to care for my dog any longer.
By that point, my dog was completely blind.
If you want incompetent doctors who harm your pets and make your life infinitely worse, this is the place for you.
In the meantime, find a vet who actually cares about your pet and make sure they have at least basic knowledge about your pet's condition. I didn't do this and I let these people let my dog go blind.
I will never forgive myself for taking my baby to this horrible place. Don't make the same mistake.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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