- LMLindsay MJul 21, 20251.0The "doctors" here are wildly unskilled and unqualified. I've had 2 recent visits that assured I will NEVER bring my dogs to another Banfield for as long as I live! First, I brought my two elderly maltipoos in in May, and raised concern over my dog's distended belly. She has known, serious heart problems. The vet did no imaging and just brushed it off, saying it was normal and just due to losing muscle with age, making fat more prominent. A few weeks later, I was at the ER having a large amount of ascites fluid drained from her belly. Then, last week, my dog was seriously injured by a horrifically dishonest and unqualified groomer. She had a serious laceration to her neck. I initially took her to the ER where they determined she needed stitches, but needed to be debrided first, and the ER doctor wasn't comfortable doing it under a local anesthetic due to the sensitive location of the wound. She recommended it be debrided by a surgeon under general anesthesia, which could very well have killed her with her heart condition. So instead, they left it open and placed a tie-over bandage (very common in veterinary medicine) with instructions to have the bandage replaced daily by my primary vet. Took her in the next day for wound cleaning and bandage replacement, and the doctor waited until she had already removed her bandage to tell me that she'd never seen a tie-over bandage in her life and wasn't comfortable replacing it! She said her recommendation was to just "let it breathe." I'll attach photos of the wound and let you be the judge of how you would feel if a vet told you to just leave a wound like that open to the elements. I called around for anyone in the area who could properly replace her bandage, which led me (same day) to Sugar Hill Animal Hospital and Dr. Jonathan Bentley, who has been incredible! He replaced her bandage better than the ER did, and 2 days later, he successfully debrided and sutured her wound without general anesthesia. A good vet is worth their weight in gold, and there is no gold to be found at Banfield.

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.

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.
• 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.
