The vets are great. I'm happy with how they care for my aging pup. Unfortunately, I've had several experiences when I call for my pet's medication, and then I'm told that they are out or it's not ready. I call 3-5 days ahead so that there's plenty of time to fill it or order it so my dog doesn't run out. I also have to drive 40 minutes to pick it up. I would like for the meds to be available when I'm told that they are.

Banfield Vet is the best. The staff is courteous and takes great care of my pet. We love Dr Pridgeon. He is thorough and welcomes questions. He explains every detail of the visit and results of any tests that were done. He offers suggestions and has great concern for my cat. Yippee Banfield!!

What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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