Banfield at petsmart What do you guys think about banfield at petsmart? |
I've never been but was told by several people not to go because they like to push a lot of unnecessary treatments on their customers. |
That was something i was worried about Quote:

I have heard many many horrible horror stories about banfield. |
I'm one of the very few that likes Banfield. Actually, I like the vets at the Banfield I go to. I think the best thing to do is ask friends/family that have pets and see who they'd recommend. |
I have heard people say that they tend to over vaccinate dogs and also that other services beyond their plan are ridiculously expensive. I don't know this for a fact as I would never use them but these are some of the things I have heard. You might want to Google Banfield complaints and do some reading about them. Here are a some links I just found: Top 990 Complaints and Reviews about Banfield Pet Hospital 1,042 BANFIELD PET HOSPITAL Complaints and reviews @ Pissed Consumer https://www.facebook.com/pages/Banfi...51680344859815 |
I quit using them some time ago. The were "shortening" the periods between inoculations on my guys. I'm SO much happier at Richmond Ave. |
Yeah, it's good to have a puppy policy for their initial exams and shots, etc. I did feel like they really up the charges and procedures required to rack up the bill. I am getting a new puppy in July and I am just going to use my regular vet. When I did the Banfield I only did it for one year which was just long enough to get the shots and checkups required for a puppy then cancelled the contract. If you use it like that it's probably not too bad. I wouldn't do it again. |
On of our vets told me yesterday that Banfield's national policy is to vaccinate every year no matter what. Having a little girl that had a reaction to vaccines, I know that would never be able to work for us. So glad YT has given me an education on vaccines and when to do and sometimes when not to do. |
would not go there |
My pup goes to Banfield and they are awesome to me. The plan is affordable and I never had a problem with them so far and my dog has been there a year. But I guess it depends where you live. Also the grooming there is much cheaper then most groomers. |
Oh wow tea bentley is three so i wouldnt use it for that and he is up to date on Everything we went to petco although they do everything i was just inquiring about dental work if he ever needed it he had a deep cleaning in the middle of last year and ive been keeping up with his teeth and they are fine i was just lookin for someone just in case Quote:
|
I went and checked them out it seems affordable but i dont want them to just start finding stuff to do and charging me for things u know. I soooo picky about who grooms him lol the groomer at petco does an amazing job he goes today :-) Quote:

I think Banfield can be reasonable the first 6mths-1 yr of a pup's life, but after that their plan isn't really that beneficial -- nor is it any sort of "insurance" like some people tend to think. Their "care plans" when something is actually wrong automatically recommend a TON of things based on whatever diagnosis is entered into the system. |
All my puppy shots have been free so far and exams with Banfield. All the office visits are free and I get a 10% discount on all meds for just $25 a month. But yes meds can be expensive but that's anywhere. But for my Yorkie I just took her to another vet got all her shots there because they wave the exam fee on first time visitors. Not sure if I want to get another puppy plan tho. |
