My wife took my dog in for a dental cleaning. She told them on arrival that he had a sensitive lower back and to please be gentle with him. When we brought Bandit home he was unable to put weight on his rear leg and could not climb steps. I had to bring his dinner to hem because he had a hard time getting off the couch. When I called today the had already refused to check him out with my wife present, they refused to put a manager on the phone, refused to give me the number for a district manager, and then abruptly hung up on me. I see on the internet this company is being sued by a doctor that worked for them because he was fired for complaining about their shoddy service and price gouging. NEVER NEVER NEVER take your pet here. He or she may come back to you injured like Bandit. Steer clear of this or any Banfield Pet Hospitals, they are the worst.

Absolutely horrible. My pet was unable to get any treatment. A nurse is unable to help me more than I was due to her stated lack of immunizations. My dog left anxious, upset, and I have 0 answers to his care or health. Do not bring your pet here. 0 stars if I could.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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