When you need petcare for your dog or cat that’s right around the corner from your Richmond Heights home or business, choose Banfield Pet Hospital. For general services such as vaccinations, microchipping, or the occasional scrape, scratch, or sting, our vet clinic is ready to help with your petcare needs.
You can find us just north of Interstate 64 in St. Louis’s Richmond Heights suburb at the corner of Big Bend Boulevard and Clayton Road. Whether it’s a drop-off appointment while you run errands at Richmond Center or a quick follow-up visit, our location in Richmond Heights makes getting general petcare simple.
There was a time when I could wholeheartedly recommend this location--in fact, it was the only Banfield location I COULD recommend. Not anymore!
Our senior dog, who has heart disease and an established cardiologist, needed a dental cleaning. He's also been a regular patient twice a year at this location since 2019, with multiple visits each year, so he's not a new patient. He's also a completely fine vet patient and we've never received any complaints from them about him before.
When we called to schedule the dental, we mentioned he's been cleared to be under anesthesia by his cardiologist. Banfield staff felt it was appropriate to waste everyone's time and said that we needed to call his cardiologist for the cardiologist to then call Banfield to confirm he can be under anesthesia. Unnecessary steps, but sure--we called the cardiologist, they said they would give Banfield a call. We didn't get any follow-up from Banfield, so called the next day and they said they didn't get a call and to reach out to the cardiologist again. We called the cardiologist, and they said they left a message to confirm but no one had called back from Banfield. This continues for like a week because, for some reason, the staff at the Banfield are completely incompetent and can't make a phone call? To confirm care for a patient they're going to be paid to see? I chalk this up to their staff who answer the phone usually being inept at communicating with humans, but maybe they do occasionally have people who know how to use a phone or how to speak in one of the various languages humans are capable of using.
When we finally confirm that yes, as we said initially, he's good for anesthesia, they then tell us, "He'll need to be seen by Dr. Turley for an initial exam ahead of the cleaning, she's not seen him as a patient before." I didn't think that could be correc, as he's been to the same Banfield multiple times within the last year, but I went along with it, because why would they lie to me about it when I could just sign into the account and see the records of past visits? Maybe they were hoping I wouldn't actually check, so they could squeeze some additional money out of me for an appointment he didn't need--because funnily enough, he did see Dr. Turley just over a year ago (screenshot included as a fun little receipt)! I confirmed this in the minutes before the appointment was about to start, so went on in and promptly canceled the appointment for that day and for his upcoming dental cleaning.
Godspeed to anyone foolish enough to think you'll be treated like a human being at Banfield. If they treat the humans this bad, how are they treating the pets?

I spent $500 for test and my dog was misdiagnosed. I called several times within 2 weeks of visiting with concerns and was brushed off. They did not offer any medication for my dogs constant diarrhea.
I finally took him to another vet and he was better within 24 hours. New vet plus 2 medications cost me $100. I will not go back to Banfield.

Sarah is quite possibly the greatest vet tech on the planet, but she recently moved on. Same with Dr. Kern and Dr Turley, who will go well above and beyond to ensure your pets cared for. Banfield Richmond Heights 👍👍
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet 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

• 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.
