- DJDanielle JonesOct 8, 20255.0I love this place, I have been going here for 12 years. My pups have gone from puppyhood to senior living and I have no complaints. I understand what I pay for with my wellness plan. I communicate with my vets, Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Thomas. Allison the clinic manager has been nothing but helpful and supportive.Rachel is typically at the front desk and has always been helpful. I can’t thank the staff enough really. We lost one of our fur babies this year and the constant communication and just checking in with us on how we were and sadness because they too lost a patient they loved as well. I think most reviews that crap on the clinic are people that don’t understand basic pet care and responsibility sometimes. Asking questions is important for you as the owner of your pet. If you don’t understand what you’re paying for then don’t agree to the procedures.
- RHRichard HowlandSep 24, 20255.0Everyone there treats our Mister as if he were their’s. The knowledge, the compassion for the pet and family is insurmountable. Thank you to the whole crew at Banfield Sparks, NV!
- MHMelissa HarkemaSep 15, 20251.0ZERO ⭐️ Charged hundreds of dollars in fees that were not told to me when we scheduled just for a single vaccination for my 2 pups. I was given a price and then it was 3 times as much when I picked up. Don’t waste your money!! Never again will I go here.
- BMBonnie MartinSep 11, 20252.0The docs are ok. They seem to genuinely care about the animals. However Banfield has become assembly line vet services since I first joined 11 years ago. No more face to face visits. No more same day (or next day) appointments for a sick pet. It’s all about how many pets can they see in a day. Drop it off in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon. My dog has a history of discospondylitis as a puppy brought on by a bladder infection. When I am concerned about another bladder infection - no one seems interested because they don’t read his history. I have never even seen the face of most of the vets who have taken care of my dog
- AGArmando Galvan-HolbrookSep 10, 20255.0I love Dr. Thomas’ care & explanations of my fur babies visits. She takes the time to tell it like it is. ❤️🐶

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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