THE THEATRICAL RELEASE...
Banfield has been great for my dog Dozier. They are friendly, attentive, knowledgable and convenient. It is always easy to get an appointment within a day or so. The staff really love animals and you can tell by how they greet them. They remember specific things, which for me is helpful since Dozier is blind. They always try to get me into a room as soon as they can. The vets that are on staff are great. They always answer all of my questions and are willing to listen to what I have to say when it concerns my baby boy. He is on one of the Wellness Plans, highly recommended for any cat or dog you have. We have already saved what it will cost us annually and we are only four months into it, so everything from this point on is free.
THE DIRECTOR'S CUT...
We have taken our pets to private vets in the past and they all have been great, but they are just so expensive. If you can't pay up front, or can get Care Credit, they usually don't want to deal with you. Then we found Banfield Pet Hospital's Wellness Plans. This is better than pet insurance and you don't need good credit, it's just a monthly payment via debit or credit card and you are covered for whatever level you pay for. With traditional pet insurance you pay the vet upfront then submit the bill to the company in hopes of being reimbursed by the insurance company sometime. Having it cover exams, bloodwork, vaccinations and much more is great for us. I highly recommend you check it out for your pets, it is well worth the money!!!!
I can't say enough great things about Banfield. The vets they have on staff are so friendly and willing to take time to talk to you about your fur kid. I have never felt like I was being rushed out the door so they could get to their next patient or not listened to. In fact today, 4/6/2018, they were without power for most of the morning so they were behind. My appt was at 4:30 pm and I was in the room at 4:30 and the vet came in at 4:35. She was great as I had a lot of questions for them today.
The vet techs are fantastic as well. They actually listen to me when I tell the specific things about my dog. For example today, Dozier was in for his vaccinations including bordetella. They started grabbing his head to keep him still that made him try to get away. He does not like being forced onto a position like that. I interjected and told them to just hold his snout and he won't pull away. When they did that he calmed down and up the nose went the vaccine, no issues.
Everyone is very gentle and loving. They get right down on the floor with Dozier and pet and love on him like he was their own. It is nice to see that a corporate type of system like this still has people that really care. It doesn't feel like a factory line type of vet at all. We will be signing our other dog Kaya up for their Wellness Plan before long. She has recently been diagnosed with cancer and we have spent almost $2000 at another vet getting her better. It is time we bring her into the Banfield family.
I don't use that word lightly, family, I truly mean these people are like family to us and our fur kids. If you don't have a vet, even if you do, check Banfield out. Most definitely check out their Wellness Plans, they have saved us almost $700 so far, that is much more than we will pay into the plan for the year. You walk in get what needs done that your plan covers and walk out without a bill. I only wish human insurance was that good. A shame really, but that is a discussion for another day.
I would highly recommend Banfield Pet Hospital in the Henrietta PetSmart to any of my friends or family that has a cat or dog. I am not sure if they see small animals, I think maybe ferrets, but it would not hurt to call and check.
