Banfield Pet Hospital® - Tampa Harris provides quality and attentive health and wellness care for dog, cat and small animal pet patients. Our veterinarians and staff are committed to promoting responsible pet ownership and preventive health care with a full-service medical facility offering general services like routine vaccinations, microchipping, dental and surgical care and more. We are accepting new patients now.
I have been taking my pets to Banfield for almost 13 years and have spent tens of thousands of dollars with your hospital. Over the years, I have experienced issues including a misdiagnosed case of pancreatitis a few months ago, which cost me approximately $1,300 to treat.
This past weekend, I brought one of my dogs in for an ear issue. She was prescribed ear drops that Banfield sells for about double the price found elsewhere. I asked if you could price-match an online pharmacy selling them for $32—a courtesy Banfield has honored for me in the past. The vet tech seemed bothered by my request. After speaking with the doctor, she returned and bluntly stated, "We won't do it; I'll take them off your bill," without even asking if I still wished to purchase them. She then incorrectly claimed I could buy the drops anywhere without a prescription.
I ordered the drops through Chewy instead. Chewy informed me that they have called Banfield repeatedly for prescription authorization, but Banfield has failed to return their calls. When I called today to expedite the process, I spoke with a representative named Ashley, who was rude and acted like I didn't speak English.
I want to note that my interactions with Vicky and Adam have always been smooth and pleasant. However, that does not excuse the poor treatment I received over the weekend and today, especially given my long-standing loyalty. When a client who has spent $3,000 to $5,000 at your clinic in just the last few months asks for a reasonable accommodation, they should be treated with basic respect and courtesy.

Never any waiting. Veteranarians are always knowledgeable and friendly. Never in a hurry and take the time to explain and educate.

It shouldn't even be an option to schedule appointments online if the location is unable to accommodate requests. It seems they can't see online appointments on their end unless they go digging for it. It's a wastes of peoples time and resources and leaves a bad impression before ever getting to work with the personnel.

Hello,
I am writing as Susi’s owner because I am genuinely concerned and still have many unanswered questions about what happened to her. I understand that there may be certain procedures or limitations regarding the information the clinic can provide, but I respectfully ask that you please make every reasonable effort to provide me with the information and documentation that you are able to share as her owner.
Although I was not the person who physically brought Susi to the clinic, she was my dog, and I believe it is important that the clinic make every reasonable effort to determine and document her identity, medical condition, and circumstances before proceeding with euthanasia. I did not authorize Susi’s euthanasia, and I would like to understand what information the clinic had at the time, who requested the procedure, what medical reason was documented for it, and what authorization was relied upon.
I was also informed by the manager that the person who brought Susi to the clinic was asked to pay $60 for the euthanasia. I would appreciate an explanation of this, including what the $60 charge represented and what documentation, if any, was completed by the person who brought her in.
I am not writing this to accuse or offend anyone. I am simply asking for transparency and for the opportunity, as Susi’s owner, to understand what happened to her. I left the clinic today feeling that I still did not have clear answers, and that is very difficult for me because Susi was extremely important to me. I sincerely hope the clinic can help me obtain the information available and clarify the circumstances surrounding her death.
Thank you for taking my concerns seriously. I would greatly appreciate your assistance and a clear response to these questions.
Sincerely,
Raydel Perez Zapata
Susi’s owner

After more than 10 years with a Banfield Wellness Plan, this is by far the worst service I’ve experienced.
I moved from Texas and have already had TWO appointments at this location for my 12-year-old dog to establish his care and continue his medication. Now they cannot locate his records and will not refill his prescription.
For a senior dog who relies on ongoing medication, this is unacceptable. What is the point of a nationwide network and Wellness Plan if records and continuity of care cannot follow your pet?
Extremely disappointing. Avoid this location at all costs.
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.
