- GNGen NDec 1, 20251.0I keep trying to contact them via phone and it goes to voicemail. I called Petsmart to let them know and they reported they’ve already let them know four times. Staff better.
- NBNathaly BuvertSep 20, 20252.0I’ve been to the downtown Banfield location and it’s 100% times better and more professional techs. It’s worth the drive! Twice I’ve had my dog come in for a comp examine and when I pick up the vet tech always seems to have the same sassy attitude. I know my dog and what medication he’s on. This individual is hostile and super unprofessional. I asked what the medication we were being sent home with was for and he didn’t offer any explanation just same sassiness as before. I will not be going back here!
- SASusan ArchMay 31, 20235.0Great service
- YAYasmin AvilaOct 17, 20225.0Staff is always courteous. Very helpful and thorough with answers to questions I may have. As a new pet owner they are very patient with me and try and help me out with any information that may seem important at the moment regarding milestones my kitten may go through.
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.
Can I get veterinary care online?
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
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examinations
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.
