- BCBelency CifuentesNov 13, 20255.0Rashida was amazing! She was super understanding, patient, and really went above and beyond to help me expedite a medication for my dog. I truly appreciated how supportive and efficient she was throughout the whole process. Couldn’t have asked for better help!
- JSJennifer SorrentinoOct 29, 20255.0We came here just for a dental because our vet was too expensive. We have now transferred our entire care here due to the service and care we received and had our cats eye surgery done here too. The staff here is much friendlier and took their time. Prices are more affordable. They have a care plan too. After over 20 years at another practice, I’ve switched to Dr. Tepley and her team at this location. Zach at the front desk is wonderful. Very helpful. They definitely need more employees though.
- MAMonse AymacanaOct 19, 20255.0This location is the best, we had no great experiences before at same location with other Vets but this time Dr Williams and Karla were GREAT!! last vet even said my baby was very bad and reactive but she had an attitude with him and he felt it, she said he needed a muzzle and he doesn’t I know the kind of dog I have but today I felt so happy because Shadow was very sweet and happy with both of them and Zack at the front desk. THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING MY BABY BOY FEEL VERY HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE

What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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