Overpriced and Disappointing Experience
I took my dogs in for their annual dental cleaning today, and I left feeling completely ripped off. They charged me $350 to remove a broken tooth, but the biggest issue was the inconsistent pricing and the way the situation was handled.
My wife received a message stating the procedure would cost under $600, while I was told it would not exceed $400. When my wife called back, she was quoted $250–$350. So which price was it?
We were also told that if we didn’t have the tooth removed today and had to bring our dog back later if it became infected, the cost could be three times as much. That felt like unnecessary pressure to make an immediate decision.
What bothers me most is the lack of consistency and transparency. The front desk employee also claimed their prices were cheaper than those of her small-town veterinarian, but after checking prices elsewhere, that claim did not appear to be accurate.
We have been going to this clinic for over 12 years, which makes this experience especially disappointing. After more than a decade of trusting them with our pets, I expected honest communication, consistent pricing, and better customer service.
Unfortunately, this experience has left me questioning whether we can continue to trust this clinic.

Upon arrival there was no one at the reception, I waited awhile and had to wave to get someone attention. I still waited a while. When someone came out to went straight to the phone, no greeting and all she said was I be right with you. I still waited awhile while she finished the call.

Great for quick vaccinations but I did not have a great experience trying to get my cat diagnosed for her teeth problems. The receptionist and nurses were wonderful and helpful. But the doctor herself was rude, extremely disrespectful, and judgmental. When I asked about next steps to help my cat, she stated it like it was completely obvious and I was stupid to have asked. The nurses actually gave me advice on how to help my cat, and great recommendations. But we definitely will not be going back just because of how the doctor treated me.
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.

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.
