All of my animals have been treated at Banfield Federal Way and have had wonderful care from basic checkups/vaccinations to urgent care for illness or injury. The staff and vets are top notch!

Scheduled an appointment weeks in advanced based on an ad offering first visit free. They refused to honor. Showed proof still refused claiming needs to be printed out. Go to website same offer clink on link and get not available. This is a bait and switch tactic. When I told them I would file a formal complaint with Atty Gen. They told me to go to another vet. They don’t like educated consumers.
Started looking into Banfield and found they and VCA are owned by the same corp.
Large corporation that is more concerned with profit than pets. STAY AWAY.

My Loki is very healthy due to the treatment done for him. I also love the fact that he gets his teeth cleaned once a year which prevents gum disease

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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.
