I have been going to Bansfield Utica for over a decade and they have always been wonderful. Compassionate for end of life care, informative for puppy stages.
Ive always used their pet care plan because it pays for itself with the vaccinations and teeth cleaning, not to mention the office visits and 20%

While they took good care of my dog and showed genuine concern for her. They also lied and omitted a lot of information when talking me into one of their pet care plans. Then NEVER mentioned it would be locking me into a 700+yr contract that I couldn't cancel. Now, they are not the first to screw me and I will survive but I'll never do business with a shady outfit that would do this to people who are already suffering because their dog is always with infection, fleas, or environmental allergies. My bill was set to be a little over a thousand, and I ended up paying around 500 sure but that means I saved 500 and am locked in to pay 700. Not much savings there. Not cool.

Advise: My pet Lucky and I have returned to the Banfield Utica location and I must say what a difference staff can make I asked the lady at the desk what her name was “she replied Mia “ and I thanked her for her kindness and I told her she was a asset to this Banfield Utica location . And how companionate Dr, Bali is ! I hope he will be at this location . I would even follow him to another location . He was so kind and gentle talking softly to my dog Lucky. He really made me feel like Lucky matters to him . He even called me after the appointment to ask if Lucky ever is itchy or has allergies and he gave me his professional advise on what to treat Luckys allergies with in the future . I really hope that Banfield recognizes Dr . Bali and Mai at the front desk ! Thank you for loving your job and making us humans an animals feel loved ! Teresa Luks & Lucky
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital
Does Banfield provide emergency care services?
No, but you can call us during hospital hours for urgent care advice. Depending on the situation, we can help provide a referral for urgent care, specialty providers, or to an emergency hospital. During non-hospital hours, please contact your local emergency hospital.
Can I get veterinary care online?
To help pets and their people stay healthy, Banfield clients who have Optimum Wellness Plans® can get remote general pet care advice and triage support directly from a veterinarian 24/7 through Vet Chat™ on the Banfield app.
What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?
We believe that preventive care is the most effective way to keep your pet healthy throughout all stages of life. Our pet hospitals offer many preventive care treatments, including:
• Vaccinations
• Dental Care
• Parasite Control
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examinations
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.
