- TETiti EdwardsNov 10, 20255.0Very helpful with GUCCI first time dog mom 🫰🏾
- SSSuri SunOct 3, 20251.0This is complete fraud! Im doing a health certificate and they quoted $178 to start with but requires two visits, one at 45 days before the travel and the other 10 days before. But when i brought her in the first time the doctor read me obvious things from USDA website and charged me with professional service and said the health certificate is gonna be $523. When I asked for breakdown it came back as $403+$87(exam fee). Complete misleading and just wanted me to come in multiple time so they can keep charging exam fee. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!
- ETEdwin TrejoOct 1, 20255.0This establishment has great customer service and so caring with our fur baby. And never have to wait to long . There professional and quick care
- MEMichelle EllisSep 25, 20252.0Brought my dog into vet to check out his ear and it was a drop off appointment. But when I picked him up they had us waiting for about 25 min. Then the kid at the front desk said he would go get him, after we already were told to come and get him because he was ready. No vet came out and spoke with us. I tried calling back later and left a message but never received a call back. Secaucus location has better customer service and communication.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital

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.

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

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.
