I've been coming to Banfield for a few years with my cat but we recently started fostering a dog with some reactivity issues. After a bad experience at a previous vet, I was nervous bringing her in but the team at Saratoga was absolutely amazing! They really took their time with her and emphasized building a good relationship so she wasn't so scared. She was able to get her exam and updated shots with minimal puppy tantrums. 11/10 would recommend

Well my first bad experience with these people occurred several months ago when I had brought my female cat into them about her itching and licking to exhaustion. So I’m in one of the rooms and in walks this younger female veterinarian and I’m talking explaining what’s going on with my cat and she ask if I have tried putting flea and tic medication on her and I explained I didn’t like that stuff put on my cat and that I have not noticed any on her or better than that I haven’t had any on me or flea bites on me and she blurted out that fleas don’t like humans . I almost debated her on that by asking if she could explain the black plague but I said to her flea’s don’t like humans? She replied with a straight face again no they don’t. I was really astounded by her being more of a saleswoman than a veterinarian concerned about your animals well being . My cat suffers from an over active thyroid gland and according to them she is itching and scratching due to that but everything they have done has done nothing to help her . She is still doing the same thing and it’s been a very long time. I fear she may die if I don’t seek another veterinarian soon and I might speed that search up after my last encounter where they double charged me 281.82 and then made it hard to get my money back and I still don’t see it in my account and I even drove 45 minutes back to this business because they said the only way to get my money back is to go back there and have them run out the card again. I go back to try and accomplish this and they are having trouble getting this done , all the while people are waiting in line behind me and getting uptight because the cashier is having to call this person call that person and then she finally gets the card to go and it says declined but they again are putting money back into my account and it’s saying declined, lol. She says I don’t know what is happening I’ve never had this happen. We finally get the machine to accept the payment to my card and she spins the council around to show me green amount representing the amount that they double charged me so I guess I am to assume it’s going back into my account. It’s 9 pm on 01/06/2025 in the evening and I still don’t see it in my account and this was done at four pm , maybe tomorrow I can report that they finally gave my money back to me . I guess the moral of this story is Write them a check so they don’t have the opportunity to make a huge error of 281.82 and then make it difficult to your money back. So be aware that if you pay them by debit card you may experience the very same treatment. Pay these people by check so they don’t get the chance to rob you of your hard earned money, had I done so I wouldn’t be still trying to get my money returned to me . Update I checked my account and it has indeed been put back into my account 01/07/2026 . So this little adventure started on evening of the fifth and just now getting my money returned on the 7th . So this brings up another question. Who would have paid for the insufficient funds charge had a debit came back in the time it took them to return my money? If I had paid by check this wouldn’t even of happened. I gave them an opportunity to double charge me and they took it . I’m glad I got my money back but it was not a nice experience they would put me on hold for over 20 minutes and not come back to the phone making me to have to hang up and call back again . Very unpleasant experience!!!!!!!

DO NOT bring your pet here!! I brought our cat who had a bad cough and was throwing up (threw up a little bit of blood, which is why we brought her in)! They took our car into the back and ran a bunch of tests that they NEVER spoke to me about... They brought her out and said they "weren't sure what was wrong, but they wanted to run more tests". (The tests they wanted to run would cost almost $1000) I asked if the tests were related to her health issues, and they said no.
The tests they already ran were over $600!
Long story short... I paid almost $700 to still have a sick cat with no explanation about what was wrong with her!!!!
Luckily, our vet came back from vacation and was able to diagnose our cat correctly... Respiratory infection that required antibiotics!! Just wish Banfield could have found that and actually treated our baby promptly and not just tried to take us for extra money!!! 😤

To help pets and their people stay healthy, Banfield clients who have Optimum Wellness Plans® can get remote general pet care advice and triage support directly from a veterinarian 24/7 through Vet Chat™ on the Banfield app.
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.
• Optimum Wellness Plans® Virtual Visits: If you have an Optimum Wellness Plan and scheduled a Virtual Visit, you’ll save valuable time and get quality care from the comfort of your home.
