I took my kitty to have her teeth checked as I thought she had a cavity on her eye tooth. It was broken off and she needed to have it extracted. I asked the price of everything that needed to be done and was quoted $74.35. The tech quickly started to tell me that if I purchased the insurance packet that everything would be covered except the $74.35 and I agreed. I made an appointment to take her in to have the extraction, teeth cleaned and shots. I wasn't even my driveway when I got a call that the total price would be $195.00, payable when I picked her up later that afternoon. I was in shock, I told them about buying the insurance, they told me that the person made a mistake, I was already distraught over my cat. They also informed me that she has Feline Leukemia. I bought her from Petco less than a year from this day. I told them to do what they needed to do as she was already sedated. When I went to pick her up they said you owe $195.00, I told them I would pay $74.35. They kept running to the back as if they were bargaining with someone. I ended up paying $100.00, said I would pay the rest this Wednesday October 10th and they finally agreed with a warning that if I didn't they would send it to collections. I couldn't wait to get Baby home. No one called to ask how she was doing...they could care less! I did get a call today saying they will send it to collections, I had no intention of not paying the rest of the money but I am so angry I feel like I was lied to and totally taken advantage of. As far as the Leukemia why didn't they know last year when I bought her? UNPROFESSIONAL and uncareing! I am thinking of calling the Better Business Bureau, and Fox 4 News. They need to be held accountable for their lies. Read Less

Vet is not there for the animals. He doesn't want to talk to you and has the vet tech tell you everything. The only thing she wanted to do is upsell to a package deal. I went in for a simple blood test that cost $38. And they wouldn't do it if I didn't buy a package. So I left still needing a blood test. Luck they have a coupon on their website for a free exam or I would have been out $45 also. The Dr's first name was Lee. Try to avoid him at all costs. You are just a burden to him. Read Less

Do NOT purchase the pet wellness program!!! I bought the program thinking I would save money on teeth cleanings. Once I found out we couldn't use the cleanings since the anesthesia might kill my pet due to a heart condition, they were unwilling to use the cost of said cleanings toward another procedure. AND it would cost me $400 to downgrade to a cheaper plan...on top of the cost of the cheaper plan itself. Additionally, the plan AUTO-RENEWS unless you cancel. And don't even try cancelling the plan early, it'll cost you way more to do so than just keeping it for the remainder of the year. I'm paying for this plan and choosing to go to a different vet simply due to these facts. Read Less

For maintenance stuff this place is great, if my dog needed an expert I would take her to Broad Ripple Animal Clinic. The docs here feel more like PA's at an Urgent Care place, and there seems to be a lot of push for up selling. That being said the wellness plan offers a good value on the basic shots and bloodwork and such you should be getting for your pet annually. Read Less

Horrible experience. My girlfriend and I took our newly rescued dog in for a check up. What did the vet do? (Pretty sure her name was Dr. Petty.) She did nothing. We were there a good five minutes. They did not check our dogs temperature, teeth, breathing or anything of that nature. They just asked what we were there for and we're basically silent for the other four minutes. Definitely a waste. Do not go here. Update: The future head of this branch contacted me and set me up with another appointment with a different vet. His name is Dr. T and he was amazing and so was the assistant. This isn't a horrible place, Dr. Petty is just a horrible vet. Ask for Dr. T! Read Less

My husband and I moved to the area 3 weeks ago. Our 2 dogs are on the wellness plans with Banfield. Leaving our main Banfield was very difficult as we have been going there for 11.5 years and have become very comfortable with the staff mostly the Doctor's. Our male Weimaraner is on an arthritis medication that requires a prescription. In order for another Banfield to fill the med, he needed to be seen. I felt very welcomed by the entire office as soon as I got there. Dr. Thulluri made me as well as my dog feel very comfortable. It was a quick in and out visit-which was wonderful. Thank you to the staff for making this a great visit. We look forward to working together while we live in Indianapolis. Read Less

They did one of two things that messed up. They either gave our dog a rabies vaccine unnecessarily a year after she got a three year vaccine somewhere else or they messed up the records. I suspect they messed up the records, though I'm not sure. (People who work there constantly get the wrong people's accounts up by accident.) We were called about getting her being vaccinated, but when we got there, we were told she already had her vaccine, only a year, according to the records, after she got a three year rabies vaccine at Face. I went to Face again so our dog could be vaccinated from rabies. I showed the lady at Banfield the updated records. The lady was very snooty. She said, "Why do you have a wellness plan here despite going to Face" I saw her write the wrong month in when she wrote the new vaccination record in from Face. She was snooty again. She got impatient with me for correcting her. She said the rabies vaccine on record was at their clinic, but someone else who worked there said earlier that the records were about another place. What a contradiction. They sent our account to a collection agency because we haven't been paying them. The credit card number was changed. I didn't know we had to cancel officially. We got no warning. I thought if it wasn't being paid they just canceled our membership. We need to officially cancel.Read Less

I am a HUGE fan of Banfield hospital. Four years ago my cat threw up 7x in one night so I took him to Banfield. My bill (for office visit, blood work and saline) came out to $376. WHOA! You might be thinking I'm complaining, but keep reading.I heard that they had a wellness plan for pets so I looked into it and I purchased it. Every month, I pay $25 and my cat has free office visits all the time, two blood tests a year, two fecal exams a year, physicals, ALL his shots, AND a dental! Let me mention that the dental alone almost costs $400 and this plan costs $300 and includes everything I just mentioned, so you can do the math.I got a puppy last year and we signed her up for the plan immediately. We paid $32 for her every month for the first year but it included ALLLLL her puppy shots. That could become so expensive. She also had free office visits and her ovariectomy was included. Now that she's one she went on the $24 plan, which does not include the ovariectomy.The service is always fantastic. We get reminder calls and emails. We get phone calls when shots are almost due, and most of the people working there know who I am and my pets names if I just pop in. It's incredible!Every time we check out and get the receipt, it amazes us. There is a column with "total expenses" and then a column for "how much you paid. I kid you not, we usually average around $300-500 for "total expenses" and it usually comes out to $0 for "how much you paid".Please, sign up. If you care about your pets but think that healthcare is expensive, it's really, really reasonable here. As I mentioned earlier with my cat getting sick and throwing up 7x, if I had that plan when I took him there, it would've been completely free except for the saline they gave him for hypovolemia.

I am never taking my dogs to this hospital ever again.About 10 years ago when we bought a puppy I started taking her to that hospital. I knew already that my puppy was allergic to 1 vaccine. I warned the nurse and the vet I said it more than twice. The reply was "we know". So I drive home with my puppy (20 min drive from that location), good thing I was at home and layed her bed near my office table. Then after 10-15 minutes I look at my puppy and her face is horribly swallen. She's unable to move and has difficulty breathing!I pick up my puppy and run to the car. Drive her back as fast as I could. I rush in and tell them she got an allergic reaction - they said "sorry" we'll give her a shot! A few minutes later my puppy was fine. So I'd assume they'd make a record of it.........NOT.Six months later I come with my puppy for other set of shots. I tell them again she's allergic to one vacine. They also have their notes in her medical profile. Guess what? They do the vaccine again without the benedryl shot. Again I drive home, her face swells up severely. I rush back and again they said "sorry". Not even paid me for my gas nor for my time. I paid a hefty bill for all shots (nearly $400) and my puppy almost died twice. If I'd left her home after first shot, she would've been dead!Now she's 11 years old, alive and happy senior (thanks to another vet's hospital). Read Less
