My pup loves Harrisburg Banfield! From the time she walks in and is greeted by Christina at the desk her tail is wagging. She usually sees Dr. Strong and he has no problems with handling her, which is a feat in itself as she does not always like being examined normally. He goes over all findings with you and answers questions in terms you can understand. All the vet techs are knowledgeable and understanding in what the fur parent saying

Walked in to get my cats broken leg fixed, but apparently this isn’t a real hospital. It took 5 minutes for someone to look at me and then all of the doctors were at lunch. Then they sent us to an emergency vet 20 minutes away and tried to give us their old address from years ago. Do no go here if you need a hospital because this is just a misnamed clinic.

You guys need to communicate properly when you're going to be closed! Turn off appointments at the least 😐. A sign on the door is not proper communication ahead of time !! Luckily my cat seems to be doing fine now, but we chose this location because it had the earliest appointment/open time around us...

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).

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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