I feel like my dogs vet changes way too often and so she's extra on guard when we go. They tell you that your dog may need services and such when they don't even offer them. I don't drive and it's the closest vet but not the best for a dog that doesn't like the vet.

This is located inside the Petsmart. While I normally enjoy Petsmart, this is one of the worst ones. Dog waste was through out the store floor. No one was available to help (as usual)and no one was really looking after the place. The fish tanks looked well as did the rest of the pets available. Only reason I stop at this place is out of convenience when I'm shopping nearby at the Brickyard.

I have a plan with Banfield the biggest problem I have is that they are never able to see my dogs when they are sick. They call to schedule their wellness check but I need a vet who can see my dogs when they are sick not just when they are doing well and need vaccines and teeth cleaned. I was lucky enough to get an appointment after someone cancelled because he was yelping every time we picked him and was shaking uncontrollably. We were told that he was checked and didn't find anything wrong with him except inflammation. They prescribed 5 days worth of pills ($50) and sent him on his way. 3 days later, my dog stopped eating and drinking and was still in pain. We called the vet, of course they offered us an appointment in two weeks and vet over the phone suggested xrays $160 and blood work $150. Concerned about him, we took him to the emergency hospital. The vet said that he believed it was his spine, he took him and examined his back and in 2 minutes was able to locate the source of the pain in his spine (without xrays).My doggie may have hurt himself rough housing with my other dog. He said the pain was causing my dog not to eat. He gave him 3 medications and put him on rest for 4 weeks. The next day my dog was walking and eating because his pain was managed. The visit cost me 160 with 3 bottles of medicine which was half of what I would have paid for and my dog suffered an extra unnecessarily. I called an cancelled my plan and will be finding another vet.

Don't take your dog here. Had a dog taken in on the assumption she might be pregnant was told it was too early to check. Took her back in 3 weeks later again thinking she's pregnant. Told she was NOT pregnant and they would not do x-rays because they knew she was not pregnant. It's now been another month and a half later my dog is very bloated so we thought maybe it's a false pregnancy since they were so sure she wasn't pregnant. We followed our instincts and Brought her to a different hospital. Turns out she's pregnant and has 8 puppies inside her. Clearly the doctors at banfield need more training. Great job on the diagnosis

I scheduled an appointment through their website and received a confirmation email on July 31st. However today when I called to ask about pricing for my cat I was told I needed to receive a phone call confirming the appointment. I'm upset because my cat is sick and I was referred to this clinic because my normal vet does not have the equipment to treat him. The receptionist said the next available appointment would be the 18th. She didn't offer another clinic or ask what was wrong with my cat. Customer service is not a priority here.

Just got a return call that the only way they can see my dog with an ear infection is if i call back and drop him off.

They said they are backed up for appt for 2 weeks, so I guess sick dogs are sh.. out of luck. BYW the hours are not what is posted online, so maybe if they followed the hours they are suppoed to be open they would have time to see sick dogs. I thought this office was going to be better than the Skokie office but they are all the same, no service,-- just collect your money every month. Can't get a same day appt for a sick dog!

I went to this location because it was close to home and I quickly regretted it. I made an appointment and was not let into a room until 30 minutes later. Once we were in the room we had to wait another 45 minutes for a vet. After that they charged me a 'restraining' fee when my dog wouldn't sit still long enough for them to extract some blood. However, they never brought me into the room to help them out which I'm sure would have been a simple solution. Also the vet technicians were less than professional. My wife and I are pretty young and I guess that meant to the vet tech that it was fine to curse around us. I was not offended by the cursing but more about the lack of professionalism. I will definitely not be returning to this location.

Call ahead! While some days are slow, they stop taking walk-ins by 6, and the receptionist told me if I was going to be late for a 5:30 appointment to not bother showing up. I appreciate the honesty. I'd rather know what I'm getting myself into. When I got my first cat in St. Louis I took him to a Banfield for his shots, never had a problem. When he was really sick I walked in for an appointment, and while there was a long wait in the room, it was worth the wait to get the problem taken care of in one day. The main concern is that if you're there for over an hour, it would be nice for there to be water for the pet, and in my case, a litter box for kitty. He ended up being sick all over his carrying case b/c there was no where else for him to "go."My most recent experience with a new kitten went very well, the vet tech was very efficient, the Vet herself was very friendly and helpful. The tech came back to show me how to clean the kitten's ears and ended up doing the entire thing herself for free because they were SO dirty (kitty was a stray) that she wanted to make sure the difficult parts were taken care of while a Vet was close by, I really appreciate the extra time she gave the kitten. The wellness plans are a great deal, and I would recommend Banfield. They've been good to my kitties.

My dog had been displaying unusual behavior such as , loss of appetite, shakiness, and lethargy for two days, symptoms seemed to be worse and since I just got the dog I did not have a regular vet. I decided to look for the closest place to my home so I did some quick internet research and the Banfield Pet Hospital popped up. It was close by, stated they welcomed walk-ins, and showed office hours until 7 p.m. I got there at 6pm and I was told my dog could not be seen because they closed at 7? Both front desk girls were rude, they did not ask why was I coming in, I had to tell them I thought it was probably something real serious since he had all these symptoms. One of the girls called the vet and with an expression of unbelief and sarcasm told the vet that I claimed this had been going on for two days as if I were lying. Then I was told that I should go to the emergency room instead!! They gave me an address and when I asked how could I get there they did not know???? I felt soo angry and at the same time very sad for my dog. I do not understand how is it that these people work there. I know that close to the end of your working day everyone wants to go home as soon as possible, but 6pm was an hour before there closing time. Horrible people and questionable Vet. Would not take my pet there even if they paid me to do so.

Strongly disagree witht he above statrement i took my Pets there and the staff oculd'nt be more helpful and friendly, keep in mind people respond in the same way they are approached. So give some niceness and you should receiver that right back. There are two new Doctors and are both women and they are very knowlegable and very very kind.

My dog had been displaying unusual behavior such as , loss of appetite, shakiness, and lethargy for two days, symptoms seemed to be worse and since I just got the dog I did not have a regular vet. I decided to look for the closest place to my home so I did some quick internet research and the Banfield Pet Hospital popped up. It was close by, stated they welcomed walk-ins, and showed office hours until 7 p.m. I got there at 6pm and I was told my dog could not be seen because they closed at 7? Both front desk girls were rude, they did not ask why was I coming in, I had to tell them I thought it was probably something real serious since he had all these symptoms. One of the girls called the vet and with an expression of unbelief and sarcasm told the vet that I claimed this had been going on for two days as if I were lying. Then I was told that I should go to the emergency room instead!! They gave me an address and when I asked how could I get there they did not know???? I felt soo angry and at the same time very sad for my dog. I do not understand how is it that these people work there. I know that close to the end of your working day everyone wants to go home as soon as possible, but 6pm was an hour before there closing time. Horrible people and questionable Vet. Would not take my pet there even if they paid me to do so.
