We have been bringing our pets to Banfield Vernon Hills for many years and have always appreciated the excellent care provided by the entire team and doctors. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Denise, whose compassion, attentiveness, and familiarity with our pets’ needs and history have truly made a difference. Her kindness and dedication exemplify the level of care that keeps us coming back.

Vernon Hills location. Friendly staff. Horrible customer service. It's always something here. If you have any questions regarding your visit after you leave , good luck getting anyone on the phone. I waited on hold for 20 minutes it then went to voicemail and I left a message and never received a call back. Go to a smaller practice for better service and cheaper prices. Super unprofessional. Polite women at the front desk though.

No wait its $554.
Felice is ready for pick up $1,200.
Im very unhappy and feel robbed. I can only hope whoever worked on her actually did something. Poor service and aiming to go elsewhere to avoid unprofessional service and greed.

Banfield Pet Hospital has been incredible with our puppy, Rosie. As first-time pet owners, we’ve had so many questions and concerns—and Dr. Sarah has gone above and beyond to provide thoughtful, insightful care every step of the way. She truly listens and helps us understand the full picture of Rosie’s health. The staff is equally amazing: friendly, flexible with scheduling, and always welcoming. We feel extremely confident and supported with the care team here. Highly recommended!

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?
Optimum Wellness Plans are designed to provide annual preventive care.

Because pets need ongoing preventive care, wellness plans automatically renew at the end of each twelve month period (unless paid in full at enrollment).

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.
