I booked an appointment two months ago and Banfield notified me on a Tuesday that the doctor had to cancel my appointment for that Friday. I called them to reschedule and they are booked out for teeth cleanings until MARCH.. Mind you, it is currently November and it was their fault! Safe to say that I will never recommend them to anyone and will be finding a new vet that actually cares about my pets health.

Update: 3/21/25. I stayed with Dr Rogers and Banfield Vet. They paid attention to reviews and listened to their clients. Since my previous review, Banfield improved their customer service. Phone calls are answered and the personal touch is back.
Like another customer, I have mixed feelings about Banfield. You are fortunate if anyone answers the phone and if they do, you are placed on hold until you either hang up or 20 minutes have passed. At the 20 minute mark, you go to voicemail with messages never returned. Drop off visits are strongly encouraged leaving your pet there all day. There is no communication with staff, no call backs. When you show up, you are handed your pet and papers and are on your way. It feels like a mechanized assembly line of pet care with owner communication occuring in the shopping area of PetSmart. The veterinary care is excellent but feels impersonal and cold as there is no time or privacy for questions. For every pet, there is a concerned human being who loves them deeply which seems to be disregarded and unimportant in the churning of day to day work. The personal touch was lost during the pandemic and it is missed. Today, I was not updated that my dogs procedure was finished, could not get through on the phone and drove to the office while on hold for 20 min. I left a voicemail and called in again and had to be assertive in requesting not to be placed on hold. I don't like to have to be this way. We arrived 15 min prior to closing and I do not know what would have happened if we had just waited at home for a phone call after her procedure and the office closed. In 3 years of having a wellness plan, I have never been able to get an appointment when my dog is sick. I usually have to go to MedVet or call other Banfield centers looking for care. I am very grateful to Dr Rogers for saving my dog's life and she is the only reason I continue to use Banfield. If she leaves, we will too. Although, I doubt that Banfield would would be sorry to see our business go. It's a hard choice to make between excellent veterinary care and poor customer care. Seeing my boy Flynn happy, playing and chasing squirrels every day due to Dr Rogers' excellent care keeps me coming back and dealing with the downside of Banfield. Consider your options when deciding to choose Banfield
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital
Does Banfield provide emergency care services?
No, but you can call us during hospital hours for urgent care advice. Depending on the situation, we can help provide a referral for urgent care, specialty providers, or to an emergency hospital. During non-hospital hours, please contact your local emergency hospital.
Can I get veterinary care online?
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
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• 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.
