My dog Buddy has the best vet ever at Banfield. Dr. Stevens is amazing — very thorough and always explains everything clearly. Vet tech Jill does an excellent job trimming Buddy’s nails, and he’s always calm with her. Everyone at this Banfield location is kind, caring, and treats Buddy like family, which means so much to me because he is my family. I’m truly grateful for the level of care they give him. Pricing is transparent, you always know what to expect, and it feels fair for the level of care.

Made me wait 30 minutes on the phone with my card issuer before they would bring me back my cat.
When I asked if I could pay the remaining $190 later in the week, I was told I would have 48 hours before the bill would go to collections, but that we would give the card issuer until 6pm while they closed.
They made me wait 30 minutes on the phone, because of a security flag with care credit.
I worked in patient services at a fertility clinic, we would have patients with bills in the thousands, tens of thousands. 48 hours to collections over $200?
They got their money from me and I still don’t know what’s wrong with my cat.
Avoid this place.
They have availability, but their policies are draconian and reek of late stage capitalism.
When their billing policies are more strict than a fertility clinic, you know it’s comically bad.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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