That’s why we offer Optimum Wellness Plans® that bundle preventive care into one convenient and affordable package for cats, kittens, puppies, and dogs. With these packages, you’ll receive unlimited office visits, routine vaccinations, diagnostic testing, and more.
I have had 1 good experience to every 10 bad experiences. I kept thinking that the convenient location and the good heart of some employees would outweigh the corporate greed and hands being tied with “This is how I have to put it in our system.” I will never go with a corporate vet like Banfield again. They care more about policy than your pets and that makes me sad.

This is not a place to take a sick dog or cat. It’s ok for routine vaccinations as long as you STAY with your pet. Do not leave your pet. The staff is incompetent and ignorant. People say I wish I knew. Now you know. Not a pet care facility.

I just had the best experience here, I took my dog Willow in for her appointment, we had to wait a little because Dr. Griffin was the only vet on staff today, but it was absolutely worth it. We have been taking Willow to Banfield for nearly 5 years and I’ve never had such an incredible experience with a vet. Dr. Griffin truly listened to every concern we had and came at it with a treatment plan that suited willows needs perfectly. I have never felt so listened to by a vet at Banfield, thank you Dr. Griffin I am so grateful for you and you have a client for life <3

We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
