The staff was great however, I do not like the fact the vet only came in the room due to the tech not giving her the proper info that I relayed to her. Otherwise the vets do not come in and speak with you. I also did not like the fact they took my dog in the back to do the exam. That is something I think every pet owner would like to ensure all info is relayed properly.

I was a little disappointed that the vets don't actually talk to you after treating your pets or discuss results.

Took our little docksan, there had her examined $559 later. They said there's nothing wrong with her and gave her pain. Pills tried to kind of tack. The doctor to see why we're gonna give her pain fills if there's nothing wrong with her. She's still in misery. So we took her to another animal hospital in Indian Head, and they did a thorough examination of her. And her anal glands were severely swollen, they had to drain them, and her back. Tail is broken, but she was dismiss by Banfield. Animal hospital as being healthy and no problem. No broken bones, they never did an X. Ray I don't want to have a clue. How much they would have charged for that? But the Indian animal hot Hospital did a wonderful job and told us.Everything are gonna try to get people to help out.And we can't even get the doctor at banfield hospital in waldorf.To answer our calls

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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