Well I will say I jumped the gun in writing a positive review. I will absolutely never take or recommend anyone taking their animal to Banfield ever again. I have a 10 month old RESCUED puppy that I thought may be having an allergy issue so I called on a Monday. They said I could not get an appointment to bring him in until the following Wednesday. Initially I said I would wait but it just kept getting worse. I called back in the afternoon the next day to see what options I could do and when I asked if there was anything sooner they said I could bring him for a morning drop off and pick him up around 4 pm and I expressed I did not want to leave my dog in their kennels in the back...

I have had this insurance for about 3 years. Last year we got a puppy and added him to the service. When we decided to move we called Banfield because we had to give the dog away as we were moving into an apartment which doesn't take dogs of his breed. We asked to cancel the plan. After going through several people I was told that the service was separate and I needed to call another number. I tried numerous times and got the same run around conversation. They basically wanted me to keep paying. One operator told me that I would just have to pay the balance that I owed that I used from our puppy's last service. She said that she couldn't take the payment however and gave me an 800... Read More

We purchased the wellness plan for our Yellow Lab Puppy, Beau. Included with the plan was his flea/tick & mosquito repellant ~ FirstShield Trio. My dog vomited and was lethargic after we applied it. When I looked it up online I discovered that it's been making dogs sick AND many are dying. There's a class action lawsuit in the courts now and Banfield has an exclusive contract with the manufacture which is why they continue to use it. We took the 2 doses we had to Banfield, explained that it was making Beau sick and asked if they had something else we could use. We were told no ~ that was all the plan offered. They could refund the money for the 2 we returned and take it off of... Read More

I currently have 3 pets on the Banfield Wellness Plan. I had an additional pet, a stray that I took in. I added him to our plan, an additional $39.95/mo, because I believed that he was going to be a part of our family. We could not keep him, and after 9 months of paying $39.95, I called to cancel the plan. I was informed that their policy had changed and I needed to pay an additional $104 to cancel the plan. So, if your pet dies, you are screwed. You will owe FULL PRICE for any services you have used during your membership. There have to be better options out there. Even if there aren't, I'd rather pay full price for vet services than give this company any more money. I will be... Read More

Went 3 times new vets seemed to do the same tests and exam each time. The company failed to link eft payments each month. Called to fix. By 5th month we had inadvertently missed payments. They canceled us and payment was due for all the visits. Not a good plan.

Banfield Veterinary Hospital on Eastern Ave Silverado Ranch Las Vegas NV inside PetSmart. CRUEL HEARTLESS GREEDY EVIL !!! My 16 year old cat had to be put down and I called Banfield to make arrangements. I was quoted $150 for group cremation and $239 for private cremation with ashes returned. I arrived shortly after and chose the group cremation. They checked me in and needless to say I was sad and grieving. As they proceeded, no one there showed any compassion, like robots. When the doctor came in to euthanize I questioned if I was doing the right thing. She snapped back at me saying without examining him she didn't know what was going on but agreed it was his time. Banfields ad said... Read More

When my dog died of cancer I still had to pay most of the remaining amount of the contract. I would understand that if i just dropped the plan but to make me pay for a deceased pet is ridiculous. Oh and when I brought my sick dog to Banfield they told me to come back in an hour, they're going to lunch. We recently rescued 2 more dogs and needless to say I will not be going back to Banfield.
