- RWRebekah WaltersDec 22, 20255.0I can not say enough wonderful things about the staff at the Sanford Banfield. Specifically Dr. Nielson. She has taken care of my dog for a long time, but over the last 6 months, we saw her regularly. She was thorough, kind, explained every issue and potential treatment option. Despite every effort, when we lost our sweet pup, she was there with us until the very end. She sat with us, cried with us, and I truly know she cared about our pup, and us. I am forever grateful for all of their knowledge, care and most importantly, their compassion. Cinder loved going to Banfield, even when she couldn’t hardly walk- they all knew her by name and were so kind when we lost her. I can never thank you enough. ❤️
- CTCrystal TigheDec 18, 20251.0Had my cat here less than 1 month ago for an ear infection. It seems the antibiotic did not fully clear his infection, so I brought him back for a revisit and was told they need to redo the tests even though he's exhibiting the same symptoms as previously. $140 later for an ear swab and a talk with the vet tech (not even the vet, even tho I was charged for a normal visit) and I won't be back here.
- RDRich DysonDec 3, 20255.0Easy scheduling, very friendly and detailed. Explained things well. Very kind.
- KHKari HNov 12, 20255.0From scheduling to the checking in and the doctor, everyone was very nice and helpful. The wellness plan is a good deal and is saving money for the neutering and all the vaccinations, I would highly recommend.
- NLNadia LopezOct 15, 20255.0Dr Wiggins is the best vet because he is incredibly thorough and caring. Excellent with diabetes management and oncology needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital
Does Banfield provide emergency care services?
No, but you can call us during hospital hours for urgent care advice. Depending on the situation, we can help provide a referral for urgent care, specialty providers, or to an emergency hospital. During non-hospital hours, please contact your local emergency hospital.
Can I get veterinary care online?
To help pets and their people stay healthy, Banfield clients who have Optimum Wellness Plans® can get remote general pet care advice and triage support directly from a veterinarian 24/7 through Vet Chat™ on the Banfield app.
What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?
We believe that preventive care is the most effective way to keep your pet healthy throughout all stages of life. Our pet hospitals offer many preventive care treatments, including:
• Vaccinations
• Dental Care
• Parasite Control
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examinations
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.
• Optimum Wellness Plans® Virtual Visits: If you have an Optimum Wellness Plan and scheduled a Virtual Visit, you’ll save valuable time and get quality care from the comfort of your home.
