Banfield the Pet Hospital

I took my 13 year old Pomeranian and 8 year old Yorkie to Banfield initially because of the convenience and the Wellness Plan. However, I got so much more than I bargained for. My pom has a heart murmur and a narrowed trachea, but he had developed a cough over the last several months that really concerned me. I called our previous Vet and he stated that "that is how the murmur progresses" and "there isn't really anything that can be done about it". So NOT true!! Banfield signed him up on the Wellness Plan, did all the diagnostics and put him on the medication that he needed to prolong his life and make him more comfortable. They even addressed the eye boogies that my yorkie gets and gave him eye drops to clear the issue (another issue our prior Vet had said was breed specific and not worth treating). My babies are receiving the best care that they have ever had, and considering that we live in a rural area with dozens of Vet's per square mile, that is saying a lot. This clinic is very professional, clean, the staff and Veterinarians are very knowledgeable, and very cost effective. I have had dogs and cats all my life and I won't ever go anywhere else again.. more

I have an 8 month old chihuahua. I've taken all three of my dogs to Banfield religiously my whole pet parent years. No. Never ever again. They ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY. My dog has a compromised immune system due to inbreeding (thanks to another vet who SAVED ME DOGS LIFE DUE TO THE INDESCRETION OF THIS VET). My dog had a super bad chest infection but they wanted $400.00 in tests and claimed it was intestinal upset and a blockage. That his chest rattling and is just in his throat and we wouldn't be able to hear it. My dog almost died. He was weak and unable to breathe and because we couldn't pay 400.00 of unnessesary tests my dog almost died. He had all these symptoms and even a fever and they sent us home with no antibiotics or anything. Finally we took him to another vet where we got three injectable antibiotics, three take home antibiotics, and critical care food. The vet knew what he was talking about and instantly knew my dog was imbred. He even gve us a discount on everything. A few days later my dog has completely turned around, but he may never get his bark back, due to losing it from the infection. I hate Banfield and they lost my trust. Don't ever go here. All they care about is money AND IF SOMEONE THAT WORKS THERE THINKS DIFFERENTLY THEY FIRE THEM. more

I just got a new puppy about a month ago, and was prepared to spend quite a bit of money at the vet for the first year, especially the first six months. They need to be spayed, have 5 sets of shots, and my puppy has a herniated umbillical cord. Well, on a day of shopping at petsmart, I was amazed with the help and care of the people who work at Banfield pet hospital!! For only $19 a month with a $99 sign up fee, My puppy will be spayed, have her hernia taken care of, and get all of her shots, and I will not be worrying whether or not I have thew money this month to get a certain thing done for her. This is an amazing plan and I think that everyone with pets should look into this!! more
