- JJJessica JessNov 21, 20251.0Apparently the website isn’t accurate so they cancel apts.
- BBBeverly BellOct 22, 20255.0I thoroughly enjoyed for a baby to Banfield of Bowie they are always so kind courteous and so much love to my little guy
- JCJustin CarterOct 13, 20251.0I will not be back to this location. I’ve been 2 times over the last 2/3 months and both times were unpleasant. The other Bowie, MD location and Annapolis, MD location are MUCH better.
- TDtrina dancyOct 12, 20255.0Dr. Gabriel is a gray doctor. She always calls me and explains everything to me about my dogs issues. I now have senior dog and she lets me know what ailments she has and my options as far as her treatment.
- KHKourtney HollingsworthSep 17, 20251.0The worst experience ever! Do you know they left me in a room for over an hour because they forgot me and my pup were in there. Banfield has gone down! This is a practice shows differences in their clients. I would NEVER recommend Banfield to anyone. I am waiting on my refund for 2025. There is a reason PetSmart has started having other veterinarians as partners. Banfield has become incompetent. I have a video of their madness, and I will post it soon.
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.
