We are accepting new patients now.
I use to drive an hour to a vet I knew that could handle my dog because he HATES the vet and is a big boy, so he is a lot to handle. I took him to this location because my previous vet moved, and they were nothing short of amazing. I came on the wrong day and they fit me in, mind you this was for X-rays, dental cleaning, and nail trimming, so it wasn't just a drop in, so them doing that meant a lot. I then had to go back the next night, had a new doctor, and she was just as great as the first. The staff all showed my dog love from a distance and I felt so comfortable there. Feels good to know I have a new vet that loves my dog for who he is.

I cannot express this enough, i have NEVER been to a vet clinic that cared and loved my boys as much as i do. They are always there to help me out with any questions i may have, since I'm a first time Dog mom. Dr. Christensen at the Richfield location is just so kind and thoughtful, helpful and very patient with me. I trust them with my boys and loved hearing how well they are. Thanks again Banfield (Richfield location) Team! and Dr. Christensen for your help!❤️❤️❤️

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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