How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Banfield Pet Hospital

Preventive care

DO NOT LET THEM TRIM YOUR DOGS NAILS! Victoria and the tall white dude: they were obviously inexperienced and could not tell body language of animals. They didn’t seem like they wanted to do it and Victoria had a “might as well” attitude about herself. They were very aggressive with handling my dog. He is very docile and manner-able. He was literally bucking out of their hands to get back to us. He was afraid the entire car ride home, I can tell he was muzzled because of the marks on his face. I don’t get why I couldn’t be there to help keep him calm during the process. He has never needed to be put on a table to get his nails trimmed. If they had wrestle him on the table like they said “they were being aggressive and hostile”. Animals have instincts, his instincts told him they were danger. Do not let them trim your dogs nails. Victoria was rude with my wife too until I stood up. Do not go here! Go to a better bansfield. Will not be coming back to this location.

So much love was shown to me and my puppy. I loved that her veterinarian came out and sat down and talked to me. Every single question I had was answered! I was a walk in and I was still taken care of in a timely manner. Great doctor and staff!

This is our dog's regular vet. Their optimum wellness plan is a good option. Sometimes the wait is too long even if you have an appointment.

An absolutely scam of a “vet”. Over priced for nothing and have tried to update my card on file multiple times and never goes through so they send payments to collections instead of trying to get an updated card on file correctly. They charge $800 to get a cat spayed or neutered.

Very busy office, I find going in personally is the best way to get great service. I went in Saturday and they fit me in for their last availability appointment on Sunday! Mary Heaton we extremely helpful. She Updating my plan to save the most money and I returned on Monday to make a Dental appointment since they told me my plan was about to turn over and I was going to lose my free dental cleaning. Dr. Bailey was extremely nice and helpful on answering my questions about Kiki’s weight and dental care. Best experience since I’ve been going there over this busy holiday weekend! Great staff!!!
