Disappointing, if I could give it 0 stars, I would do it ..me They offered a plan for my dog, they told me that I couldncekar at any time, I used it for 3 months and I sent my puppy to another country now I can't cancel without paying the entire plan for 1 year. It is stupid that they do not explain well that is disinterest in the client, because there is no other way than to pay for a service that you are not receiving.

I adore all the people who work at Banfield. This is my first dog and they always take their time to explain things to me and take the best care of my dog. She can be stubborn at times, but they always love on her and care for her! Can’t imagine going somewhere else!

I’ve been bringing my mini golden doodle here since she was 3 months old! I’ve visited multiple locations and they always do a good job. I recommend Banfield to all of my friends and family:)

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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