Ive been using this pet hospital for 4 years, Most of the staff are very nice, but for them to be a "pet hospital" they aren't very knowledgeable, and dont have any allergy options other than Apoquel, Cytopoint, or an expensive prescription food. When you set up an account they lock you in with Autodraft, and if you dont have it they charge you a $20 late fee. The payment is $67.00, and they charge 1/3rd of that as a late fee! On top of being super expensive!! Oh and if you sign your pet up for a plan you have to pay it for a year even if your pet dies!!! It's a scam to get money with very little actual medical advice! The amount of "guessing" that's done is crazy work for the amount they charge.

My kitten had become very sick and we could not find a vet who could help her or figure out what was wrong. Luckily, we made the decision to go to Banfield and had Dr. Cowell who helped us to discover what was wrong with my Brie. She was diagnosed with Panleuk which was scary but due to the advice from Dr. Cowell and staff I was able to give her the care that she needed and since has become back to her normal self and is like the sickness never even happened. Dr. Cowell definitely saved my babies life!

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

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).

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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