Preventive care

Good pets hospital inside pet store. Wait time might be pretty long, even if you have a scheduled appointment. I visit this place from time to time, and wait time might depend on time of the day. Early in the morning is better. Staff is friendly. A few times I didn't get a solution to my pets problem and felt like a girl on registry didn't really care or were willing to help. That's more of an exception though. Standard procedures they handle well.

Oh my God what can I say about Banfield hospital East Brunswick they're absolutely above and beyond always. The receptionist Michelle is above and beyond. She is just so amazing kind patient. You could tell she really cares about the pets and that the people sometimes are bringing them in not for always good circumstances. And is always there to help you with whatever you need. All three dachshunds that we have go there.

This Banfield hands down is the best in this area. Woodbridge is never ever available I don't even know why they pick up the phone to listen to people because they never have availability. Metuchen doesn't even know how to look people up but Edison is always available and their staff is really polite. However, the biggest irritation with this location has got to be when you drop off your pets. It should not take 25 to 30 minutes to drop off your pet that is crazy to me. please fix this. I don't know what's clogging the flow but this is not convenient for anyone. what is the point of a drop off if you're still going to have us sit 25 to 30 minutes for you to just come simply get them and take them to the back?! Wild.

The prices are impossible. It's overprice. I bought the insurance for both of my dogs which is a rip off. I want to stop and they want to charge me 500 per dog. They are unbelievable. X rays are almost $ 400. You can find half the price in the area. The insurance does not cover anything. It's better to get the shots from your city hall for free. I would put them 0 stars.

The entire staff provides exceptional service to our 2 dogs on a regular basis. Dr. Mohamed truly went above and beyond this past week after successfully performing surgery on our puppy despite being extremely busy. We highly recommend this business because they care and are compassionate for the animals and families that they work with.
