Banfield Pet Hospital® - Rochester provides quality and attentive health and wellness care for dog, cat and small animal pet patients. Our veterinarians and staff are committed to promoting responsible pet ownership and preventive health care with a full-service medical facility offering general services like routine vaccinations, microchipping, dental and surgical care and more. We are accepting new patients now.
This is our second pet we have brought to Banfield and entrusted their care and done an impeccable job. They actually found a heart condition with my first dog prior to doing a scheduled dental cleaning and have earned my trust repeatedly. Prices I believe are fair and with the plans they offer help that upfront cost after exams and any shots our dog may need. Only recommendation is to staff two people at the front desk for check-ins because it is either a 20 minute wait while in person or waiting on hold when calling in, hence the reason for the 4 stars. Otherwise, I couldn’t be happier with the care we have received for our pets. Thank you to the doctors, vet techs, and staff at Banfield.

Sadly we had a very ill animal and called many different locations to get an urgent appt. Banfield said they could get us in, we left promptly and arrived early for the appt. When we got there, there were several people standing in line, we waited in line for a half hour with our visibly ill animal in my daughter’s arms. They checked in routine animal visits, we arrived early for our appt and when we got up to the desk we were told they actually couldn’t see us. This waisted precious time. We were able to find another vet out of town that could see our animal a couple hours later but our animal passed in route to that appt. I feel this vet practice was irresponsible in giving us an appointment when we had such a time sensitive situation when they didn’t actually have a visit or availability to see us.

Don't go here, it's a terrible place! They'll stick your pet in a corner for six hours and then claim they're "aggressive." And charging for doing nothing?? Absolute rip off. Really poor communication, attitude from the staff, absolute incompetence when I had to check in (it took 40 minutes).
I don't know if y'all are understaffed or just had a shitty day but I won't ever be back and I'll be telling everyone around not to go here for their pet care.

Our local Banfield staff are amazing. Thank you for many great years Dr. Seiffert and staff. 5 stars! However, the optimum wellness plans I caution. We have been paying for a wellness plan for 16 years, we recently had to put our dog down and we're informed we owed a cancelation fee on the plan. We're not a family to purchase and cancel plans when we don't need it. We had it for 16 straight years! Do better for us that have stayed with you for many years and have been loyal. More bad news after just putting our pet down. Do better.

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.
