Banfield Pet Hospital® - Houston Heights 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 love this PetSmart and was excited to bring my dog to Banfield Pet Hospital. I booked my appointment online in advance and arrived 15 minutes early. Unfortunately, after waiting for a few minutes, the front desk employee, Rene, asked us to wait outside and then called to inform us that our appointment would need to be rescheduled because the doctor had left early.
Since this was my first visit, I also wanted to ask about the wellness plans and insurance options available for my dog. Rene was extremely rude, rushed through the conversation, and seemed uninterested in answering my questions. His behavior was unprofessional and made for a very disappointing first impression.
I later spoke with a manager at PetSmart to get additional information, and they were much more helpful. Overall, the customer service I received from Banfield was very poor, and the experience left me frustrated and unlikely to return

Do NOT bring your dog here. I simply wanted my dogs nails trimmed and of course this purely for profit vet needed $400 dollars worth of BS vaccines and shots to do it.
Immediately after the shots my GF calls and my pugs face is so swollen that she’s bleeding through her skin and has shallow breathing.
They’re extremely lucky that my dog didn’t die. The issue is my dog and your dog doesn’t need this unnecessary poison. The dog doesn’t NEED anything but they NEED your money so they put your animals at risk. Then to top it off I get my dog back with a $400 bill and nails clipped on 2 of 4 paws.
We didn’t look up this office but I wish I had because the reviews are consistently bad for a reason. If you love your animals stay away.

Dr Adams is completely incompetent. She can’t properly administer tests, and I had to go to a new vet just to find out that Dr Adams completely missed the diagnosis. Doesn’t communicate well at all, tries to rush you out the door and won’t explain anything. Highly recommend avoiding this place.

I brought my dog in for a scheduled vaccine appointment and left disappointed.
The front desk did not acknowledge me upon arrival, and there were noticeable cleanliness issues -- visible urine near the front area, a dirty scale, and pet hair on the exam table.
After waiting about 20 minutes, my dog was taken to the back for the exam. I never saw or spoke to the vet at any point during the visit. An ear cleaning was recommended, but I was told it would take a couple of hours due to consent verification and other appointments. For a routine visit, this felt excessive and poorly communicated.
I chose to leave and go elsewhere. I do appreciate that they did not charge the exam fee. However, overall the experience felt transactional rather than professional. I hope the clinic improves cleanliness, communication, and client interaction standards.
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.
