Banfield Pet Hospital® - Columbus Northeast 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. We are accepting new patients now.
I’m usually not someone who leaves negative reviews, and I was actually very impressed with our first visit here. Unfortunately, everything after that has been extremely frustrating and confusing.
My puppy had a fecal test performed at her first visit. More than 10 days later, I learned that the veterinarian had reviewed the results and said she was positive for roundworm and coccidia BUT I had never been contacted about the positive results or told that she needed treatment. In fact, the results displayed in my Banfield account appeared to say “Normal,” so I had no reason to believe anything was wrong.
I only found out because I scheduled another appointment after noticing blood in her stool. While discussing the reason for the appointment, a doctor apparently overheard the conversation, reviewed her previous lab results, and that is when I was finally told about the parasites.
I came in today to pick up the prescribed medication and tried to ask basic questions about what to expect during treatment, when she should be rechecked, and who I should contact if I have questions or concerns. I was simply told that the front desk did not have any information for me and was only there to give me the medication.
I completely understand that front desk staff are not veterinarians and cannot provide medical advice, but I would expect someone to be able to connect me with a technician or doctor, provide written treatment instructions, or explain how I can get my questions answered… especially after there had already been such a significant delay in notifying me of the abnormal lab results.
I really liked the staff and experience during our initial appointment, which makes this even more disappointing. The communication and follow up since then have made what should have been a straightforward, treatable puppy issue much more stressful and complicated than it needed to be. I hope the hospital reviews its process for communicating abnormal lab results and making sure pet owners understand their treatment and follow up plan.

UPDATE: took my dog in. Had a wonderful experience. Very impressed!
Trying to get a prescription confirmed that they wrote is nearly impossible. Admittedly, I ordered the wrong prescription at first, but I only found that out after I called them to confirm the order. I ordered again and still cannot get the prescription confirmed. It’s been over two weeks. Staff is friendly, but they are overwhelmed.

Kind, helpful, and knowledgeable staff! Great value and affordable pricing. They put in a lot of effort to teach us what we needed to know. Grateful for them calling other pet hospitals near us to transfer us when needed, and doing their best to make us comfortable while we waited for test results.
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.
