I was absolutely thrilled to get Cortney for a technician, she was so informative and patient answering all my questions. My dog loved everyone here and plan to come back just so he can enjoy the love and snacks.

I’ve been a loyal client of Banfield - Garland for nearly two decades. The staff is always professional and empathetic toward my pets. My most recent experience great thanks to Courtney—she handled our check-in and kept me updated the whole time with so much compassion and patience with my nervous dog.
They are also great about sending reminders (text or calls) for preventative care and dental work, which is so helpful. Booking is a breeze on the app, too. Both my dogs are on prescriptions and the vets have always accommodated and called into my preferred pharmacy so I can get their meds there.

They always struggle to approve prescriptions through other pharmacies that aren't them. The wellness plan isn't worth the struggle either because they are always so busy. I don't recommend getting the plan at all.

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).

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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