This place is HORRIBLE! My dog has had two emergencies, one which he was actively bleeding in front of them and then a seizure, both times he was turned away and had to take him to an emergency vet. What’s the point in a plan or having a vet, if they can’t care for a dog when they need them the most. Pure pitiful. Find a different place if you have ANY Banfield in mind. You’ll regret it, they only care about healthy dogs and not the sick.

Banfield is amazing! They handled the death of my beloved Honey with such compassion and care and it really made the hard time better. They currently care for my other dog Coco and they are just great. I am an anxious pet owner and they always answer my questions with understanding and love.

Took my new puppy in there to get a check up. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and professional. The vet, Dr. Cook, greeted me by saying “ Firstly, she is beautiful” So that created the tone for the rest of the meeting. She very patiently answered all of my questions and gave me some very good tips. I never felt rushed or unwelcome. I had been in to mine as to whether to sign up for the wellness program, but after this, I signed up straight away.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital

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

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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