I like the fact that I feel safe for my pet by having Banfield, but I find that the price is a little high for the service. I recently cancelled my subscription but then within the same month started it again and they acted like I was a brand new customer that they had never seen before. It was only about 12 days from the cancellation to restart. When I brought my dog in I requested that they trim his nails and the trimming was done so poorly that I had to go home and complete the task. While there I was asked about his teeth cleaning and I said no because he had just had them done about 6 months before and yet they called me shortly after on the phone to tell me that they thought he needed a dental cleaning. (this was not the same person that I had talked to earlier). Although I think that they are pricey I still like the convenience of not having to find another vet, and I really would like to have the treatment that I pay extra for instead of paying and then having to complete it myself

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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