I'd give 0 stars if I could. Staff is incompetent. They do not care about your pet and just want to take your money.
DO NOT COME TO ANY BANFIELD LOCATION. THEY WILL JUST PRICE GOUGE YOU.

BANFIELD PET HOSPITAL always takes wonderful care of my Shih Tzu during his semi-annual wellness examinations. I have used BANFIELD on Plainfield Road in Joliet for 22 years with TOTAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND their OPTIMUM WELLNESS PLAN to spread expenses monthly over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital

What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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