DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE!!! I made an appointment and kept me waiting for hours! When I said I would take my pet and leave they still charged me for a visit even though they did not treat my pet. WARNING DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE

Staff from receptionist to nurse to doctor, all were polite, helpful and caring. Really appreciated the high level of comfort as I was stressed out completely. Was able to get a diagnoses for my sick dog to which he was able to get treated. Go here if you want yourself and pet me treated with the most care!!

I have had an incredibly bad experience with this place. Id give it 0 stars if i could. My first visit i arrived after a 30 minute drive only for them to tell me their online booking appointment was wrong and they have no availability. Tried to call to make another appointment recieved voicemail no return call so decided to try booking online again. They called this time and canceled it. Called back was put on hold for 20 minutes only for them to connect me to voicemail. After several attempts finally talked to a rather rude receptionist but made an appointment. On the way I almost got into a major accident arrived 9 minutes late I was shaking very rude receptionist could care less and turned me away saying dr couldn't see me now even though I called and they told me that as long as it was before 15 minutes id be OK. There was another receptionist there that said id be seen as well. Im not sure what that was all about but it's been a complete nightmare. The headache is not worth saving yourself a few bucks. Do yourself a favor and find an actual vet office. I do not recommend this place at all!

It’s fantastic in the sense that they offer a payment plan, most vets do not. Most of my experiences here have been nothing but fantastic. However, this last experience was frustrating!!! I have been calling since last Friday to get results of an x-ray. I was told the results would be ready by Friday and the doctor would call. I should’ve known that was not going to happen. I called Friday four times got nowhere. I called Monday. Left a message. Nobody called me back. I called Tuesday, someone told me their systems were down which tends to be happen all the time And that they took a note and will let the doctor know I called and they will call me back. They did not call me back. Here we are today Wednesday I called three times. On the third time, I finally got in touch with somebody they said yes I see we have your x-ray results, but I cannot Over them with you I have to have a doctor call you.
I understand they are a business and they are busy, however, when you say you were going to do something, and you do not do it that is severely irritating and not great customer service.
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.
