- 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.
- BKBill KentSep 10, 20255.0Staff has always been friendly with my dog Scooby and my self. No complaints
- KYKendra YostAug 27, 20251.0Banfield as a whole deserves 5 stars. However, the Savage location deserves only 1 star. I have visited the Burnsville and Eden Prairie locations, and both experiences were a 10/10. I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at Savage was disappointing and concerning. The staff displayed an alarming lack of professionalism, which is especially troubling in a field dedicated to the care of animals. If customer service and compassion are not priorities, this may not be the right career path. During one visit, I overheard the veterinarian speaking negatively about other clients on the other side of the exam room door. At the time, I dismissed it since it wasn’t directed at me. However, I recently learned from a family member that the same veterinarian made inappropriate and unprofessional comments about my sister and her cat as well. Disappointing and will not return :) Cannot comprehend how such apathetic human beings are allowed to work with animals.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital

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.
