Pésimo servicio. Al gatito de una amiga mía lo tuvieron durante 6 horas en una caja, sin agua. Ella tuvo que llamar porque nadie la contactaba, y si no lo hubiera hecho, su bebé habría continuado ahí.
En la clínica alegaron que el michi había mordido a la doctora, pero eso no es una justificación. En primer lugar, ellos deberían tener la capacitación necesaria para manejar a un gato estresado. Y, en segundo lugar, ¿acaso los animales que se estresan no tienen derecho a ser atendidos?
Cabe destacar que el animal que describieron como agresivo no es el gatito que nosotros conocemos. Pero bueno, no tenemos forma de probarlo, y entendemos que cualquier animal puede estresarse. Nuestro punto es que la clínica no estuvo a la altura. Tengan cuidado.

Terrible service. A friend’s kitten was kept inside a carrier for 6 hours without water. She had to call the clinic herself because nobody contacted her, and if she hadn’t called, her baby would have remained there even longer.
The clinic claimed that the kitten had bitten the doctor, but that is not a justification. First of all, they should be trained to handle stressed animals properly. Second, do stressed animals not deserve medical care as well?
It is important to mention that the “aggressive” animal they described is not the kitten we know. However, we understand that any animal can become stressed in that kind of situation. Our point is that the clinic did not handle the situation professionally. Please be careful.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the treatment of my cat during his recent visit to your facility for veterinary services, specifically deworming and vaccinations.
My pet was left confined in a box for approximately six hours without receiving the expected care or being attended to in a timely manner. This situation is unacceptable and raises serious concerns regarding your facility’s operational procedures and duty of care.
If your staff were unable or unqualified to complete the requested veterinary services, I should have been contacted immediately so that I could retrieve my pet or make alternative arrangements. At no point was I informed of any delay or inability to proceed with the treatment.
Instead, my cat was kept isolated for an extended period without basic needs being addressed. This is not appropriate handling of an animal under professional care and does not align with the standards expected of a veterinary service provider.
Additionally, I was informed that the delay was related to concerns about my pet’s compliance and a need to protect staff. If that was the case, the appropriate response would have been to contact me immediately rather than leaving my pet confined for several hours. My cat is not aggressive, and if there were any concerns regarding behavior or handling, I should have been given the opportunity to intervene or take him elsewhere.
Regardless of internal staffing or procedural limitations, it is not acceptable for an animal to be left unattended for this length of time without communication to the owner.
I am requesting a formal explanation of what occurred, why I was not contacted promptly, and what steps will be taken to ensure this does not happen again. Adding to previous email:The cat was vomiting and had blood in his urine. In the end, after six hours, nothing was done for him.

Just got a puppy and started going there for 6 weeks now. I bought the puppy wellness plan and have been happy so far. All the staff at Banfield have been wonderful. The doctors are very nice as well. Don't have to wait long for your appointment.

I took my adopted cat to the Benefild hospital for a check-up, and she got vaccinated. They have been very helpful to Lucy, and she is doing great. Thank you!

This place is becoming ridiculous. I feel that I’m going to a circus with a bunch of clown. They call you to a room with your pet and they let you stay there for like almost 45 minutes. They keep coming back and forth with the sorry , thank you for your patience. I went there today from nine in the morning that I have an appointment. They didn’t see my dog until 11:05 AM. They have 21 dogs to see iwith one Doctor working They coming to the room and tell me they’re coming right back and they let me waiting again 15 to 25 minutes in the room again. It was horrible day from all the times that I go. My dog was so overwhelming, tired, hungry shaking. I ended up walking out 😡😡 horrible they have no consideration for this animals that they come in sick
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.
