Dr. Abi and staff were patient and went out their way to make our dog feel at ease. Loved their care and gentleness when examining Milo. Great communication and overall very pleasant attitudes. Thank you for an easy visit to the vet. We found a new home .

The vet felt very dismissive of my dog’s issues and I felt brushed off. It also felt as i was only offered the most expensive options but staff was nice. I just won’t be taking my dog back here.

I went to Banfield in Laurel, MD after having a terrible experience at the Banfield in Whitehall, PA. (Yes, I literally drove 3 hours for a comprehensive annual exam.) I loved my experience at Laurel. They are professional, polite, and patient. The front desk greets you when you walk in. The triage nurse (Brittany) was so kind, funny, informative, and engaging. She went above and beyond for my dog, Barney. I don't mind taking a long car ride to ensure that my dog and I are treated well. At Laurel, I know all of our questions and concerns will be addressed. I will continue to travel here and hope to see Brittany again! I also appreciated the vet- Dr. Carrero Contreras who was also informative and concise!

Booked on line for sick pet and they call me and told me it is canceled. This particular location is unprofessional and disrespectful of your time . If there is less than one star I will give that.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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