- KBKatrina BennettDec 18, 20252.0We have brought our cat and dog to banfield for years, we stayed through moves, until recently. I brought my cat in for a regular check up and they either had to give shots or take blood, either way my cats legs were wrapped in a green tape. I took them off the same day and realized they had dyed my cats fur green. I called to inquire and was told “it will fade away in a couple days” I called again weeks later and was told “ya, the pink tape normally does that, not the green. Use hydrogen peroxide” Ok, so I did that, several times. Now a month later I call to see if they can help me, since they were the ones who dyed my cat green. I was snarkly told “We don’t do that here, I will ask my manager. We were out of our regular tape and used an off brand.” Ok..it has been MONTHS. I was promised a call back, never happened. We have switched vets. They are nice, until they are not. Sincerely, Mom with a green legged bengal cat.
- DJDenise JohnsonDec 4, 20255.0They were great with my dog Sadie. She is a very shy dog and they handle her with great care
- SSSterlingGroupMNOct 27, 20255.0I have used Dr Nielsen since he started at Richfield and followed him to savage. Hes the best veterinarian anyone could ever imagine. He made the passing of all 3 of my Parson Russels easier. If you want someone who is the best and cares. Bring your dog to here and to Dr Nielsen. Pure class. Id give 10 stars if I could. Thank you, Jeremy Bjornberg
- MDMindy DalyOct 2, 20255.0Great service, they always can get me in and are very flexible. They take great care of my pets.
- EMEthan MobleySep 23, 20253.0Nice people but pricing is not transparent. I called for an appointment to get annual vaccines for my dogs. Total cost for one small dog to receive Bordetella, Leptospirosis, and Lyme vaccines was $193.68, which seemed high. I only learned after paying and looking at my receipt that Banfield charged $80.95 for an office visit, which was never communicated to me at any stage. This should be communicated at the time and appointment is made, at minimum.
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.
