    Update: AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Discussed issue with corporate, my money is gone. Wellness plan sure does rhyme with insurance scam, cause that is what it feels like. Will never return, will tell others to avoid.

    Banfield at PetSmart has the most considerate staff that explains all procedures. Banfield has the greatest insurance plan that is reasonable. The techs and docs are positive and thorough. I'm SO glad I found Banfield for my dog's health and care!
