Pelham location- walked in to find dog poop on the floor near a bench, it had been there quite awhile. after about 15 min a dog had gotten sick and threw up on the floor. a staff member just put a warning near it. I was there for about an hour. no one cleaned up either area. there were enough staff to clean it up. not going back to that location again.

PLEASE STAY FAR AWAY FROM BANFIELD PET HOSPITAL IN PELHAM!!! THIS PLACE IS EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND HONESTLY A TOTAL SCAM. THEY PREY ON PET OWNERS’ EMOTIONS JUST TO GET YOU TO SIGN UP FOR THEIR SO-CALLED “WELLNESS PLAN” THAT DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR YOUR PET. IT’S ALMOST $1,000 A YEAR FOR NO USE AT ALL. COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.
NO ONE HERE IS EVER ON THE SAME PAGE YOU WOULD THINK WORKING IN THE SAME HOSPITAL THEY’D HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE, BUT CLEARLY NOT. NOBODY EVER ANSWERS THE PHONE, AND WHEN THEY FINALLY DO, IT’S A DIFFERENT PERSON EVERY SINGLE TIME. THERE’S NO DIRECT CONTACT OR CONSISTENCY WHATSOEVER.
THEY CHARGE RANDOM FEES FOR EVERYTHING AND HALF THE TIME IT CONTRADICTS WHAT THEIR “WELLNESS PLAN” IS SUPPOSED TO COVER. NOTHING MAKES SENSE AND IT’S ALL DESIGNED TO TAKE YOUR MONEY. THEY DON’T EVEN OFFER FULL SERVICES, SO WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU PAYING FOR?!
OVERALL THIS PLACE IS A JOKE UNORGANIZED, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND COMPLETELY MANIPULATIVE. SAVE YOUR TIME, YOUR MONEY, AND YOUR SANITY. TAKE YOUR PET ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE!!! My pet is on the verge of being put to rest and they have no resolution but referring me to a whole different hospital.

The staff is very pleasant and helpful. They have taken care of my two puppies and now kitten with no problem. I have purchased their wellness plan for my puppies from 0-1year with the added flea and tick treatment but I honestly don't see the savings with their regular adult wellness plan. You still have to add on flea and tick treatment. I feel like it would be better going a la carte then paying the monthly program fee. However, this is a great place care facility located in one of my favorite pet stores so I can shop for my fur babies while they are being seen.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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