I used to love Banfield. But honestly their staff seems miserable, they shuffle staff faster than I shuffle a deck of cards, and the care is inconsistent.
Earlier this year our dogs cancer was missed (and luckily caught when I took him for a second opinion).
Honestly our dog shakes when we pull up to the Banfield. Meanwhile when we go to other facilities, he enthusiastically runs in.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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