- CGCarlos Quintero GarciaDec 15, 20251.0Lousy service, there is no point in paying for insurance if the service is terrible.
- SRShawna RobinsonNov 14, 20251.0During my visit I explained very clearly to the vet. There was a possibility that my dog was pregnant . The vet examined my dog and assured me she was not in fact pregnant. She proceeded to give my dog DAPP live vaccine, knowing the risk of given this vaccine to a pregnant dog without any x-ray or sonogram. Solely on her physical examination. The doctor at the time assured me that my dog was not in fact pregnant I trusted her professional diagnosis. A week later, I noticed movement inside the belly of my Dog and a week after that, she gave birth to four puppies. Dr. Tam was the name of the doctor at the hospital. One of my puppies, unfortunately, was born with severe birth defect. It was explained to me by the manager of the clinic that even though Dr. Tam made the mistake of giving my dog the vaccine while she was pregnant That the possibility of the vaccine causing the defect was minimal in any case. The doctor made a false diagnosis I cannot be sure that that vaccine did not affect my puppies. I trusted them. I trusted the doctor. I am not a medical professional, but I am very hurt over the loss of my little puppy, and I cannot be sure by any means that the vaccine was not the cause of his death. I will not be returning to Banfield pet hospital. I buried my little puppy today and I am praying to God that the other three live long and healthy lives.
- EWEverett WattleyNov 12, 20255.0I've been a customer at Banfield since 2013 when I had my first dog..a female Yorkie ( Gucci). Gucci has since passed on but I remain a customer because I now have four dogs.lol ..Gucci (G2), Prada, Fendi, and Dior. I totally trust Dr.Cheng, and Dr. Tam, with my 4 children, and am confident they're making the best decisions for them. Scheduling appointment is easy and the staffers are friendly and knowledgeable. They've recently added staff which cuts down on the check-in/ check- out process. A special thank you to Jessica ( front desk) and Leah ( coordinator ) for their assistance in scheduling appointments with ease.
- SVSandra VegaSep 15, 20255.0She was amazing with my dog. She made sure Shadow was calm before she started his haircut. Thank you
- DMDanielle MooreSep 2, 20255.0Jessica and Laura at the front desk greeted me upon arrival- I was checked in quickly and seen by Dr. Cheng. Rome also helped take my dog in the back for X-rays- he handled her with such care and patience as she can get nervous coming to the vet sometimes. The doctor was very patient with me and my chocolate lab Maggie addressing all my issues in detail and with such kindness ! Highly recommend - the staff here is wonderful!

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
