I’m very disappointed with my experience at Banfield Pet Hospital regarding my 17-year-old terrier mix, Skippy.
Skippy had been diagnosed with renal disease and pancreatitis for years by the same vet, so his condition was well known. When I recently brought him in because he had stopped eating, I expected guidance focused on his existing illness and quality of life. Instead, after I enrolled in a senior wellness plan, it felt like the focus shifted to using as many plan benefits as possible. He was put through several tests, including heartworm testing and x-rays, and was prescribed probiotics he wouldn’t even eat, even though these didn’t address his known conditions.
No one clearly told me that Skippy was likely nearing the end of his life or suggested focusing on comfort care instead of more testing.
I wish the vet had been honest from the beginning about his prognosis so I could have focused on keeping him comfortable in his final days instead of putting him through unnecessary tests.

I'm torn on this review. There are definitely pros and cons to this place.
The people that work there are the best. Every doctor and vet tech has been absolutely amazing in every way. I have no complaints whatsoever for the people I've interacted with here over the almost 10 years we've been coming here.
However, the wellness plan and the insurance company behind it is abysmal. You pay so much for it and there's are still fees on top of the monthly payment. And the company itself is soulless to the core.
I had to bring our cat in to be put down yesterday after we brought her in multiple times to find out what was wrong (was cancer). Each person that helped our cat was great. And the vet tech and doctor that put her down while I pet her were so amazing and thoughtful.
However, we tried to cancel the insurance today and they refused, even though it auto renewed a couple of days ago they said we still need to pay the $900 for the entire year. After "talking to their manager" they said they'd lower it to $480... For a year of insurance for a cat that is dead. Looked up reviews for the wellness plan online and there are so many similar stories.
Because of this we are not going to renew with them after the year is up for our other two pets, and we're going to find a different insurance and vet.
Again, LOVE the staff here!

We needed a prescription refilled. Even with an appointment, we waited 2 hours for the dog exam. I would have preferred that they called and pushed back the appointment. They do the exam in another room away from the owner. All I heard from the vet was "She's fine". No questions or interaction by the vet.
Lastly, they said they would order the prescription that day. It took over two days and multiple requests for them to order the prescription.

What is 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
