Gunnar looked great after his wash and trim. We could see his eyes for the first time.

WARNING PET LOVERS: we had an appointment for our sick male cat today. It’s always difficult for him to be in the car. For even a routine visit. Unfortunately, when we got there, we were informed by the front desk that our appointment had been canceled the day prior. The front desk attendant was more focused in trying to prove that we had received an email or phone call - In fact, we never received one - then trying to find a solution. It was like being stuck in an endless loop - repeatedly asking if she could come up with a solution-and the response being that we had received the email saying the appointment was canceled. She went as far to suggest that maybe the email had gone to our spam folder and we really should’ve checked that before coming. As an aside, we checked the spam folder and it wasn’t there.
RECOMMENDATION: my wife called the Banfield location in Rockville and they’re able to squeeze us in immediately. The veterinarian and the nurse were incredibly professional and caring. It was such a positive experience. I highly recommend going to the Rockville location.

I had a really disappointing experience at Benfield Gaithersburg. The manager was extremely rude and only seemed interested in selling their plans. They knew I had a first-time free exam coupon but didn’t mention it at checkout. When I called right after leaving, they said it was okay and told me to come back the next day so they could fix it. But when I went back, they completely denied it and said their system couldn’t be changed. It felt very dishonest and unprofessional. If I could, I’d give them zero stars. Definitely not going back.

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.
