I have been taking my dogs to Banfield for 11 years. I have been trying to get my dogs prescription renewed for the last week. He is out and needs the medication. I have called multiple times and get excuses and promises. As I write this I am still waiting. I am not sure how long it takes to respond to a refill request from a pharmacy but it seems to take a week at this location.

Do not trust their computer system. When you try to get an appointment, it will not always register. The people were very rude and unhelpful. Will not try and take any of my cats there again.

Made a mistake and made an appointment for my dog Duke for some vaccines at the Boise Banfield, instead of the Meridian location. I showed up at the Meridian location and Roz at the front desk, informed me that I was at the wrong location. Instead of just turning me away, Roz worked hard to see if the team could give my dog the vaccine today instead of me having to reschedule. Roz and the entire team at Banfield did their very best with customer service and was able to work me in. Michael was able to squeeze me in and I was able to get Duke in for his vaccine. I really appreciate Roz’s customer service and going the extra mile to get me in so I didn’t have to make another trip. I know this is my fault completely but Roz and the entire team at Banfield gave exceptional customer service to make this work. Absolutely truly amazing. I love Banfield. I love how they take care of the pets as well as us pet owners. Sincerely, Sarah Riese

Always go above and beyond when I take my dog in for an appointment. When dropping off my dog for a wellness appt., the doctor contacts me to give me an overall report and addresses any concerns. It is good to know my dog is in good hands as the doctor as well as the staff member show they care about our pets’ health. Thank you for your wonderful service and support. Blessings

I will never do a pet plan again with them, or any services in the future. The customer service is so poor, and the customer service staff just have a crap attitude.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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