- KLKatharine LeggatDec 23, 20255.0Amazing place and wonderful staff. Impressed right from the start. We took our new puppy, Joey for his first vet apt. The staff from our first phone call to 3 visits later for care have been nothing but great. Really happy we decided to try, as it’s super convenient being in the same neighborhood.
- SHSean HalsteadDec 20, 20255.0Took care of my cat with ease!
- NVNicole VDec 18, 20255.0This is the best location you could go to! My boy Nimbus has been coming here since we got him at 3 months. They’ve watched him grow up and they’re AMAZING! He LOVES visiting the vet thanks to them. They’re the kindest people you could meet, and I highly recommend taking all your pets here!
- ASAngela SotoDec 2, 20255.0They were so kind to my big old baby Thor. He had a ear infection and hi didn’t want no one touching him, but they made sure he was comfortable and safe.
- CCCatherineNov 6, 20255.0Bar none the best Banfield office around Baltimore. We've been on the OWP for 6 years, and we keep coming back to Ellicott City because they have the best availability, genuinely friendly nice staff, and the facility is very accessible. I have an aggressive dog, and they always work with us to get her in and out smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital

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:

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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