I came in 6/22/26 for an appointment regarding my dog Coco. Dr. Ahmad, Mia, and crew took very good care of her, I felt heard and valued which I truly appreciated. The care that she received put me at ease and Coco will be on the road to recovery. Thank you guys!!

We have been bringing our dog Macy to Bandfield for 14 years. We love it there. Great location but most importantly great staff. I can’t thank them enough for always going above and beyond.

I was very pleased with the care our puppy received here. The staff was kind, and you can tell they genuinely care about the animals. However, I was frustrated by the lack of clear explanation of the care plan. It’s more of a payment plan, and nothing is truly “covered.” Overall, good care, but I wish the communication around the plan was more transparent.

I have to rate this place a 3 only because they have a couple of rotten apples working there. You can tell the people who care and who don't they never answer the phone or call back maybe they need to hire someone to answer phones hell I wouldn't mind answering the phones however they did have two people that stood out to me and I'm forever grateful for them my dog Gizmo did pass but they cared so much for him please don't let Dr.Aguayo and nurse Shannon go unnoticed they really are the gems of the company and they are the only reason I will come back for my dogs to see them other then that y'all need a new crew of people who care for animals and stop hiring anybody because they need a job.I love writing reviews and taken names so I really hope they get better people.

Due to a software update, which I'm sure was completely unnecessary, this office is somehow locked out of my dog's account. As a result, I can't get her medications refilled, and she's about to run out.
They had to contact the central office to get it resolved, but after three days, that still hasn't happened. I tried calling this office, but they never answer the phone, even before this issue (maybe corporate should let them have more staff instead of hiring the bare minimum). I called corporate, and of course the call center is closed "due to circumstances beyond their control."
This is completely outrageous. If a dog does not have it's medications, then one would think this matter would be handled with some urgency, but apparently not. I don't blame the front desk staff. They're as helpful as they can be with the resources they have. But this place is run horribly, and I will never use Banfield again once this dog, who is elderly, passes away. And since we can't get her meds, then that may happen sooner rather than later.
I've seen Banfield respond to other negative reviews. DO NOT give me an e-mail address to contact. You can give me a phone number where I can reach a living, breathing human to speak to, or don't even bother.
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.
