I brought my dog in three weeks ago for neutering and an update on her vaccinations. The process was quick, and she was able to return home today. The follow-up showed everything is in good shape, and she's happy and eager to get back to her activities. This place is fantastic—efficient, professional, and caring.

We have been a Banfield client for 10 years. They have always been great with our fur babies. Our Great Dane does not like needles. At the sight of them he flips over on his back and kicks all 4 feet. Banfield always hides the needles, distracts him and gets his shots before he even knows what happens. We moved far out in the country and a long drive to a Banfield. We are sad to go but loved the care we received for 10 years.

I took my dog in for what was supposed to be a comprehensive annual exam at around 3:05 PM. To my surprise, I was told at 3:10 PM that he was already ready to go. How can a full physical exam, including bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal testing, be completed in just five minutes? They did nothing of course!
To make matters worse, the front desk staff member who assisted us, Today Friday around 3 PM was rude and dismissive. There was no clear communication or willingness to explain what had or hadn’t been done during the visit.
My dog was only inside for about 3 minutes before they told me he was done, does that really count as an annual exam?
Even more concerning, I asked the veterinarian whether it would be safe to spay my 12-year old dog who has known kidney issues. Without any updated lab results or a thorough check up, she immediately answered, “Yes, no problem.” That level of care feels extremely irresponsible and unprofessional.
We used our available annual exam, but got no answers, no real evaluation, and no peace of mind. I’m very disappointed with this experience.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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