    From saving my corgi when her bladder burst to managing my old dogs comfort and care, Banfield does it all. Everyone is kind, informative, and take the time to answer every one of my too too many questions to ensure my pets needs are met at all times. All our pets are on various plans with Banfield based on their specific needs. I especially love having access to a live chat for in between scares, and the easy access to the doctors that know my pets best.

    The receptionist was friendly enough. Once we got into the patient room with our puppy, it became a series of sales pitches for their “wellness plan”. The first assistant who came in pitched me the plan multiple times despite me verbalizing this was all too much, I would need a moment to think and process what was being offered etc. We were really only there with the goal of an exam and distemper shot however the focus was not on that but rather this plan that they were trying to upsell. The constant pressure while the vet stood and hovered while I was being pitched for the third time was very uncomfortable. I had to then bluntly ask to have a moment to ourselves to process this. The tech barely left when another tech came in and said he was informed about what’s going on and asked where our heads were. Again I explained we only came here for the exam and have been pressured to buy this plan despite asking several times to have a moment to think. I told him that we would now just be doing the exam and going on our way. We then waited so long for the vet to come in we frankly almost left. We had been waiting for the exam to start for over 45 minutes at this point. Just to START the exam. Never going back. I do not appreciated being pressured to make a serious commitment in the span of minutes, while be intensely stared at to make an immediate decision. This place is clearly all about money and that’s not who I want caring for a member of my family.
