    Banfield is a terrible vet. They continue to charge you for their wellness plan even if your pet dies or you need to cancel for any reason. They do not care about your pet. Just money.

    My Bernedoodle was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma. At the time, I had two plans: SPOT Pet Insurance and the Banfield “Wellness Plan.” Save your money—do not purchase the Banfield plan. The monthly payments would be far more useful if you simply set that money aside yourself and used it when needed. The Banfield plan provided almost no real value; I only used it for a couple of routine blood screening tests. SPOT Pet Insurance, on the other hand, covered 80% of the chemotherapy treatments, and the monthly premium was about the same cost as Banfield’s. After my dog passed away, SPOT allowed me to cancel immediately with no issue. Banfield, however, attempted to charge additional fees just to cancel. In my experience, Banfield’s value is zero, and their customer service is poor. You’re better off choosing another pet insurance provider—or simply paying out-of-pocket—than signing up for the Banfield Wellness Plan.
