Brought my cat who was having a flare up. Vet and nurses were all awesome. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The system cancelled my appt for some reason but they were able to still see me at the time I was supposed to come in. My cat is TERRIFIED of men and both male nurse and doctor were able to wrangle her. Love dr bales.

Having two cats to bring to this Banfield over 6 years, we've always been very happy and grateful for the staff, and the wellness plan that was so valuable especially with an advanced age pet. That was little Tessa, and in her 19th year, the vet was SO careful to be on top of every need and nuance of this "baby", even to Tessa's end care day. No one wants to think about that but it's important to say when you have an end of life experience at hand with your "baby", you'll be seen right away, gently and lovingly in your sorrow, everything explained delicately and handled with utmost respect and care. We were so grateful that if it could be made ANY better for us, it was, including final arrangement options and remembrances. Nothing was about selling anything; it was all about our comfort and choice to have Tess back with us. Thank you, Banfield, and we're so glad to keep Chloe in your care!

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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