Just go anywhere but banfield always.
Ended up having to take my cat to broadway pet hospital for care that i was led to believe would be covered here under their wellness plan. Obviously the plans as usually scams anyway but I was desperate because she was really sick. I got antibiotics but she needed further care. Not only could they not help me, but I was referred to expensive specialists deep in LA. Not to mention I really dislike that they take your pet for exams without you in the room.
I did my own research and broadway pet hospital was able to get me in quickly and actually take the time to sit with me in an exam room and show what was going on for her. They were able to help me figure out the problem without expensive specialists or plans that don’t actually offer much at all.
AND Turns out the prices at broadway are way less than the wellness plan here anyway.

Kitten recheck. I wanted to get 2 kittens flea meds but they are too small. I paid nothing but the price I would have paid was too high.

I love Gabby! she always has QiQi and Foxy's best interest at heart, always does a great job sending reminders for their treatment needs, and I'm usually in and out at the location when I bring my fur babies. Thank you Banfield.

Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital
Does Banfield provide emergency care services?
No, but you can call us during hospital hours for urgent care advice. Depending on the situation, we can help provide a referral for urgent care, specialty providers, or to an emergency hospital. During non-hospital hours, please contact your local emergency hospital.
Can I get veterinary care online?
To help pets and their people stay healthy, Banfield clients who have Optimum Wellness Plans® can get remote general pet care advice and triage support directly from a veterinarian 24/7 through Vet Chat™ on the Banfield app.
What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?
We believe that preventive care is the most effective way to keep your pet healthy throughout all stages of life. Our pet hospitals offer many preventive care treatments, including:
• Vaccinations
• Dental Care
• Parasite Control
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examinations
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.
• Optimum Wellness Plans® Virtual Visits: If you have an Optimum Wellness Plan and scheduled a Virtual Visit, you’ll save valuable time and get quality care from the comfort of your home.
