Banfield Pet Hospital® - Rockaway 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.

I need to share how knowledgeable, helpful, compassionate, sincere, caring & wonderful the vet Dr E was with us last week with our beloved dog, George. He gave us lots of time 3 days in a row, explained what was happening, detailed our options, and went above and beyond to help our little furry family member giving him comfort and care and helping him to feel better, and calling to check up on him at home.

I HAVE BEEN ON HOLD FOR 30 minutes! I have called several times and they either hang up or put me on hold! This place is ridiculously unprofessional. ! I have an optimum wellness plan for 2 dogs and I have a sick dog and I can’t get anyone to answer the phone!?!?!?

My boy Noah did something to his Paw. Knucklehead dog! The folks here at Banfield were great from the first call. Very nice people, well staffed, and fairly priced. I think we have Noah well on his way back. Thank you to the team at Banfield Rockaway.

I cannot say enough positive things about how well our Sophia is cared for. The team is amazing from start to finish. Sophia always gets nervous but they manage to calm her down. Dr. E is very detailed and takes time to explain everything. We know Sophia is in great hands. Thank you!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this veterinary practice was extremely disappointing. During one of the most difficult times a pet owner can face, I expected compassion, understanding, and guidance. Instead, I felt like I was treated as little more than a bill.
The costs were extraordinarily high, and at no point did I feel there was transparency regarding treatment options or associated expenses.
What was even more upsetting was the complete lack of empathy shown during a very emotional situation involving a beloved family pet. The staff and veterinarian seemed detached and indifferent, offering little comfort or support. As pet owners, we trust veterinarians not only with our animals’ health but also to help us navigate heartbreaking decisions. Unfortunately, that compassion was noticeably absent.
I left feeling devastated, frustrated, and disappointed. No pet owner should feel like they are being treated as a transaction when they are facing difficult medical decisions for a cherished member of their family.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice and would encourage others to ask detailed questions about treatment options, pricing, and expectations before proceeding with care.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

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).

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.
