Banfield Pet Hospital: Vet Care & Contact

U.S. Veterinary Network Guide

Banfield vet care, appointments, doctors, prices, hours and contact information

Banfield Pet Hospital is one of the largest preventive veterinary-care networks in the United States, with more than 1,000 hospitals across the U.S. and Puerto Rico and more than 3,600 veterinarians. Banfield was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1955 and joined the Mars, Incorporated family of businesses in 2007.

This guide focuses on the questions pet owners actually ask before a visit: what a consultation can cost, vaccine and surgery pricing examples, which services Banfield provides, whether emergency care is available, how doctor availability works, what records you can access, parking, walk-ins, wellness-plan charges, prescriptions and the correct customer-service numbers.

Information reviewed: August 18, 2026. National facts, current plan rules, service information, contact numbers and sample prices below were checked against current Banfield pages. Individual hospital staffing, prices and hours can change.

If your pet may have a life-threatening emergency: Banfield does not position its national network as a 24-hour emergency-hospital system. Its own guidance tells pet owners not to wait and to contact an appropriate local emergency veterinary hospital immediately. Routine Banfield hospital opening hours should never be treated as emergency-service hours.

What is Banfield Pet Hospital?

Banfield is a national veterinary-care organization focused heavily on preventive care. It operates more than 1,000 hospitals in the United States and Puerto Rico and says its practice is powered by more than 3,600 veterinarians and more than 19,000 associates.
History

Founded in 1955

Banfield was founded in Portland, Oregon. It became part of the Mars, Incorporated family of businesses in 2007.

Location formats

Several hospital types

Banfield’s current locator recognizes full-service hospitals, Express locations, hospitals inside PetSmart stores and mobile-van locations.

Geography

U.S. and Puerto Rico

The network is widespread but does not operate in every state. Banfield’s June 2026 state directory, for example, lists no Banfield hospital in West Virginia or Wyoming.

What kinds of pets does Banfield treat?

Dogs and cats make up the core of Banfield’s patient population. Selected hospitals also publish care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rodents, reptiles, amphibians and other exotic or small-animal patients. Exotic care is not available at every hospital.

Banfield’s Optimum Wellness Plans are offered for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. An exotic pet being accepted at a particular hospital does not mean that pet is eligible for an Optimum Wellness Plan.

Banfield Pet Hospital hours

There is no single nationwide opening schedule. Hours belong to the individual hospital. Many Banfield hospitals are inside PetSmart, but the veterinary hospital can have different hours from the retail store.

Real published 2026 Banfield hours

Hospital Address Published hours Phone
South Boston, MA 9 West Broadway, Boston, MA 02127 Mon-Fri 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
Sat-Sun 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
617-269-0610
Palm Coast, FL 5270 East Highway 100, Palm Coast, FL 32164 Mon-Sat 7 a.m.-6 p.m.
Sun 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
386-437-7017
Vancouver East, WA 130 SE 192nd Ave, Vancouver, WA 98683 Mon-Sun 8 a.m.-6 p.m. 360-254-0362
Vancouver Mill Plain, WA 11600 SE Mill Plain Blvd, Vancouver, WA 98684 Mon-Sun 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. 360-254-2361

These examples show why a nationwide article should not claim “Banfield is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.” Some branches open earlier, some close earlier on weekends, and holiday schedules can change.

Are Banfield emergency hours the same as hospital hours?

No. A Banfield hospital being open does not mean it operates a dedicated emergency department. Banfield’s national emergency message instructs owners with a life-threatening medical emergency to contact a local emergency veterinary hospital immediately.

Banfield veterinarians, doctor names and availability

Banfield says the network includes more than 3,600 veterinarians. Individual hospital pages often identify current veterinarians and other clinical team members, but Banfield does not publish one national doctor-by-day schedule.

Doctor timing accuracy: hospital opening hours are not the same as an individual veterinarian’s shift. Banfield’s public location pages identify doctors at many branches, but a Monday-through-Sunday DVM rota is generally not published. Any website claiming a specific Banfield veterinarian works “Monday 9-5, Tuesday 9-5” without current branch confirmation may be inventing the schedule.

The names above are examples of current doctors appearing on official Banfield location or veterinarian-profile pages. They are not presented as a complete roster of Banfield’s 3,600+ veterinarians.

Can you request a specific Banfield veterinarian?

Yes. Banfield’s current Wellness Plan FAQ says clients may request a particular veterinarian for a visit, depending on availability. You can also use a different Banfield hospital when necessary because records can travel within the Banfield network.

How do you know when a specific doctor is available?

The reliable answer is the branch’s current scheduling system or scheduling staff. Banfield does not expose a permanent public weekly schedule for every DVM because veterinary shifts, procedure days, time off and staffing change.

Banfield appointments: in-room, drop-off and virtual visits

Banfield currently offers several ways to receive care.

Clinic visit

In-room appointment

You remain with your pet while the veterinary team completes the visit. Banfield says these are commonly used for first visits and appointments where owner participation is important.

Extended visit

Drop-off appointment

You bring your pet to the hospital, usually earlier in the day, and leave while the team performs the planned exam, diagnostics or treatment. The hospital contacts you when your pet is ready.

Remote care

Virtual visit

Eligible Optimum Wellness Plan members can have virtual appointments with a Banfield veterinarian or credentialed veterinary technician for appropriate non-emergency needs.

How online booking works

Choose your hospital. Banfield’s locator searches by ZIP code or city and state.
Select a visit. Availability depends on the hospital, date and reason for care.
Sign in or continue as a guest. Existing clients can use MyBanfield; new clients can start without an existing account.
Add the pet information and visit reason. This helps the hospital route the correct appointment type.
Review the exact hospital, date and time before confirming. Do not rely on a doctor’s general hospital affiliation as proof that the doctor is working that day.

Does Banfield take walk-ins?

Banfield’s national location finder specifically says to call ahead for walk-in availability. An open hospital may already be fully booked or may not have capacity for the type of problem your pet has.

How do you cancel or reschedule?

The Banfield app supports scheduling, cancellation and modification of appointments. Some appointments may require contacting the hospital directly to reschedule.

Banfield vet fees and consultation costs

Banfield uses the term office visit for the veterinary consultation and physical examination. There is no one national office-visit or “case fee.” Banfield’s own pricing pages show meaningful differences by city.

Real Banfield office-visit fee examples

Banfield location Office visit Additional pet office visit What it includes
Mobile, Alabama $60.95 $46.95 Veterinary consultation + physical examination
Temple, Texas $64.95 $50.95 Veterinary consultation + physical examination
New Hyde Park, New York $89.95 $69.95 Veterinary consultation + physical examination
San Diego Campus Plaza, California $91.95 $70.95 Veterinary consultation + physical examination

What this means: a generic statement that “Banfield charges $X for an exam” is inaccurate. In the official examples above, a standard office visit differs by more than $30 depending on location.

Banfield’s pricing pages also state that an additional office-visit fee is required for services such as vaccines unless that visit fee is covered through an applicable plan or offer. Other diagnostics, medications and treatment can also be added after the veterinarian examines the pet.

How to get your local Banfield price

Use Banfield’s official ZIP-based price estimator only for the final local number. The estimator is useful because local pricing changes and the exact service your pet needs may differ from these published examples.

Banfield vaccination fees: published examples

Banfield’s location pricing pages make an important point: vaccination prices are generally in addition to the office visit. Some vaccines require boosters, which can mean another visit.

Dog vaccine examples

Vaccine Mobile, AL Temple, TX San Diego, CA
Bordetella $30.64 $31.79 $37.70
DAPP $35.82 $37.16 $44.07
Bivalent influenza $48.50 $50.31 $59.68
Leptospirosis $21.92 $22.75 $26.98
Lyme disease $39.34 $40.82 $48.41
Rabies $25.45 $26.40 $31.32

Cat vaccine examples

Vaccine Mobile, AL Temple, TX San Diego, CA
FVRCP / feline distemper $30.08 $31.21 $37.02
Feline leukemia virus $32.40 $33.61 $39.88
Rabies $25.45 $26.40 $31.32

These are published examples, not guaranteed national prices. Vaccine recommendations also depend on species, age, prior vaccination history, exposure risk, local requirements and the veterinarian’s assessment.

Banfield dental cleaning, spay and neuter fees

Banfield publishes estimated anesthetic-procedure packages at many locations. Its pricing pages say these packages include routine bloodwork, an IV catheter and fluids, and routine anesthesia and monitoring. Some pets may require additional anesthesia, laboratory work or other services at additional cost.

Dog procedure examples

Procedure Mobile, AL Temple, TX San Diego, CA
Professional dental cleaning $359.95 $380.95 $491.95
Neuter package, over 6 months $459.95 $476.95 $565.95
Neuter package, under 6 months $394.95 $408.95 $485.95
Spay, over 6 months / over 50 lb $554.95 $575.95 $682.95
Spay, over 6 months / under 50 lb $484.95 $502.95 $596.95
Spay, under 6 months $420.95 $435.95 $517.95

Cat procedure examples

Procedure Mobile, AL Temple, TX San Diego, CA
Professional dental cleaning $359.95 $380.95 $491.95
Neuter, over 6 months $253.95 $262.95 $311.95
Neuter, under 6 months $203.95 $210.95 $250.95
Spay, over 6 months $343.95 $356.95 $423.95
Spay, under 6 months $292.95 $303.95 $359.95
Dental warning: a published “professional dental cleaning” estimate should not automatically be treated as the final cost of every dental case. Additional dental X-rays, extractions, medications or other treatment can change the total if medically necessary.

Banfield emergency care, emergency hours and emergency fees

Banfield is not a nationwide 24-hour emergency-hospital network. Its national message says that if the situation is a life-threatening medical emergency, do not wait—contact a local emergency veterinary hospital immediately.

So what are Banfield’s emergency hours?

There is no national Banfield emergency-department schedule because normal Banfield hospitals are primarily preventive/general veterinary practices. An individual hospital may be able to assess some urgent problems while it is open, depending on staffing, appointment load and what the pet needs.

Does Banfield publish an emergency examination fee?

Banfield does not publish one nationwide “emergency fee.” A local Banfield office visit is priced by branch, while true emergency and specialty cases may be directed to an emergency or specialty veterinary hospital.

Important Wellness Plan emergency benefit

Current Optimum Wellness Plans include one waived emergency or specialty-care exam fee at participating BluePearl Pet Hospitals or VCA Animal Hospitals, with a stated value of up to $300.

This is an exam-fee waiver. It does not mean an emergency hospitalization, imaging, surgery, medications, laboratory testing or other treatment is free.

Signs Banfield says can require emergency care

  • Difficulty breathing or blue-colored tongue, lips or skin
  • Serious wounds, trauma or bites
  • Known or suspected poisoning
  • Obvious severe pain or distress
  • Pale or white gums
  • Repeated seizures
  • Inability to walk normally
  • Inability to urinate despite trying
  • Serious eye injury
  • Facial swelling accompanied by hives

If any situation appears life-threatening, the safest action is to contact an emergency veterinary hospital rather than waiting for a routine Banfield appointment.

Veterinary services available at Banfield

Exact capabilities differ by hospital, but Banfield’s current national and location pages describe a broad range of preventive, diagnostic, surgical and supportive services.

Wellness exams

Nose-to-tail examinations used to evaluate overall health and identify changes over time.

Vaccinations

Routine dog and cat vaccines including rabies, DAPP/parvovirus, Bordetella, FVRCP, FeLV and others when appropriate.

Screening, treatment and preventive products for fleas, ticks, heartworms and other parasites.

Radiography for bones, joints and internal structures; dental digital X-rays are also available at many hospitals.

Dental care

Professional dental cleaning, dental evaluation and additional treatment when indicated.

Spay & neuter

Routine reproductive surgery for eligible dogs and cats.

Selected hospitals provide medically supervised grooming for severe matting, skin disease or pets needing special handling.

End-of-life care

Quality-of-life support, palliative discussions and humane in-office euthanasia are published at participating locations.

Exotic-pet care

Selected hospitals treat rabbits, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and other nontraditional pets.

Some locations publish WISDOM PANEL canine DNA testing for breed ancestry and genetic-health information.

Nutrition guidance

Veterinary guidance based on age, breed, weight, lifestyle and health needs.

Banfield Optimum Wellness Plan costs, benefits and cancellation rules

An Optimum Wellness Plan (OWP) is not pet insurance. It is a year-long preventive-care package that bundles specified Banfield services.

Benefits Banfield says are included across its current OWP offering

  • Unlimited office visits
  • Comprehensive examinations
  • Routine recommended vaccinations
  • Diagnostic testing
  • Fecal examinations
  • 24/7 Pet Chat
  • Virtual-care benefits
  • Discount on many non-plan Banfield services and products
  • One waived participating emergency/specialty exam fee, up to $300 value
  • Yearly payment or 12-month payment option

How much is the OWP discount?

Banfield currently says the discount on many products and services not included in the plan ranges from 5% to 15%, depending on the plan.

It applies to many non-plan Banfield services, parasite-control products and prescriptions. Banfield specifically identifies therapeutic diets and PetSmart services or merchandise among exclusions.

How monthly payments work

When a client chooses monthly payments, Banfield says the first payment and applicable one-time enrollment fee are due when enrollment is confirmed. Remaining payment dates can be set for the 5th, 12th, 19th or 26th of the month.

Is there interest on the 12 payments?

Banfield describes the 12-payment option as monthly installments with no interest fees.

What happens if you cancel early?

Banfield describes OWPs as annual commitments. Its budgeting guidance says that if you cancel early, you can be responsible for the retail value of services already used during the plan year, minus what you have already paid toward the plan.

That makes cancellation different from simply stopping a month-to-month subscription.

What if a pet dies while the plan is active?

Banfield tells clients to contact the plan team to discuss cancellation and any remaining balance. The published cancellation/general-question number is 888-649-2716.

Banfield Access Plan

Banfield also offers a lower-level Access Plan. Current published benefits include:

  • Unlimited office visits
  • Two comprehensive examinations per year
  • One annual heartworm test
  • 5% discount on most Banfield products and services
  • 24/7 Pet Chat in eligible states

Pet Chat availability

Pet Chat provides round-the-clock text access to a credentialed veterinary professional for eligible plan members. Banfield notes that state telehealth rules can restrict this service, and its current enrollment information says Pet Chat is unavailable in Arkansas.

Does Banfield accept pet insurance?

Yes. Banfield currently states that its hospitals accept most pet insurance plans.

Pet insurance and an Optimum Wellness Plan are different products:

Preventive package

Banfield OWP / Access Plan

  • Set annual package
  • Includes specified preventive services
  • Unlimited office visits
  • No deductible
  • 5%-15% plan-dependent discount on many additional Banfield services
Insurance

Pet insurance

  • Separate insurance product
  • Often designed for illness and injury expenses
  • Coverage depends on insurer and policy
  • Deductibles, exclusions and reimbursement rules can apply

You can have pet insurance and a Banfield Wellness Plan at the same time. Confirm the exact claim procedure with your own insurer because insurance contracts differ.

What to expect at a Banfield visit

Before leaving home

  • Confirm the exact Banfield branch—not just the city.
  • Check the current appointment time and visit type.
  • Use a secure carrier for cats and suitable small pets.
  • Use a secure leash or carrier for dogs.
  • Bring prior veterinary records if Banfield does not already have them.
  • Bring or list all medications and supplements your pet currently uses.
  • Have relevant vaccination history available.
  • Write down major symptoms and when they started.
  • Keep your phone available during a drop-off appointment.

Drop-off appointments

Banfield says many appointments can be handled as drop-offs. You leave the pet with the veterinary team while you continue with your day. The team may contact you for permission before adding tests or treatment, so the person authorized to approve medical care and costs should remain reachable.

Fecal sample

Banfield’s visit-preparation guidance may ask clients to bring a fresh fecal sample for visits where parasite testing is planned. Follow the specific instructions from your hospital rather than collecting one automatically for every appointment.

Interpretation services

Banfield location pages state that free interpretation is available for more than 350 languages, including ASL, through phone or video interpretation. Tell the hospital before the appointment when possible.

Where to park at Banfield Pet Hospital

Parking is location-specific because Banfield hospitals operate in several formats. Many are inside PetSmart locations; others are in standalone or other retail settings.

There is no nationwide Banfield parking fee and no nationwide rule saying every location has free parking.

Verified parking example: Palm Coast, Florida

Banfield’s current Palm Coast page says the hospital is inside PetSmart at Palm Coast Landing, near East Highway 100 and Belle Terre Parkway, minutes from I-95 Exit 284. It specifically states that free parking is available directly in front of PetSmart.

Palm Coast address: 5270 East Highway 100, Palm Coast, FL 32164.

If your pet has mobility problems

Call the individual hospital before arriving and ask which entrance is easiest. This is especially useful for large dogs with orthopedic problems, pets recovering from surgery, anxious animals, or owners who need accessible parking.

PetSmart locations

When Banfield is inside PetSmart, do not assume the veterinary hospital’s hours match PetSmart’s retail hours. Park for the store location, enter through the appropriate customer entrance and follow Banfield signs inside unless the local hospital gives different instructions.

Banfield medical records, invoices and MyBanfield

The Banfield app and MyBanfield account contain significantly more than appointment information.

Banfield says clients can view:

  • Visit summaries
  • Diagnoses recorded in Banfield care history
  • Medications
  • Invoices
  • Appointment information
  • Pet medical records

The app also allows records to be downloaded and shared with another care provider, which can be useful when a pet needs a specialist, emergency hospital or veterinarian outside Banfield.

Where is my Banfield Client ID?

Banfield says existing clients can find the Client ID in the upper-right area of a Banfield invoice. New clients receive a Client ID after their first appointment.

MyBanfield login problems

If you cannot identify your account email, username or Client ID, Banfield currently lists its MyBanfield/website support line as 877-656-7146.

Banfield prescriptions, pharmacy and medication refills

Many Banfield hospitals have an in-house veterinary pharmacy. Official location pages describe medications such as antibiotics, pain relief products and parasite prevention being dispensed during the veterinary visit when prescribed.

Online prescriptions

Banfield also operates an online pharmacy/shop for eligible prescriptions and pet-health products.

Important current rules include:

  • Prescription orders require veterinarian approval.
  • The prescription request can be sent to the veterinarian for authorization.
  • Prescription medications cannot be shipped to a P.O. Box; a street address is required.
  • Some medications, including certain controlled or refrigerated products, may require tracking and a signature.
  • Banfield Shop does not accept prescription products for normal return/resale, even when unopened, because of regulatory requirements.
  • If the wrong or damaged prescription product arrives, Banfield directs customers to order support promptly.

Online-order and home-delivery support: 888-626-3992.

The Vancouver headquarters address is administrative and should not be used as a destination for veterinary treatment.

Banfield Pet Chat and virtual veterinary care

Pet Chat

Eligible Optimum Wellness Plan and Banfield Access Plan members can use Pet Chat for 24/7 text-based veterinary guidance. Banfield describes the service as access to credentialed veterinary professionals who can help owners decide what to monitor and whether a pet should be seen.

Pet Chat has no separate per-chat fee for pets enrolled in eligible plans.

You can upload photos and short videos during a Pet Chat conversation when useful.

Virtual visits

Current Optimum Wellness Plan information includes virtual-office-visit benefits. Banfield says virtual visits can support situations such as:

  • Medication-use questions
  • Preventive-care questions
  • Post-procedure discussions
  • Reviewing test results or X-rays
  • Puppy and kitten guidance
  • Non-emergency follow-up care
Pet Chat and virtual visits are not substitutes for immediate in-person emergency veterinary treatment.

What Banfield does not publish nationally

A trustworthy hospital guide should be clear about information that simply does not exist as one nationwide figure.

Question National answer Why
Exact doctor schedule by weekday Not nationally published Staffing changes by location and date.
Single Banfield consultation fee No Published office fees vary by location.
Single emergency fee No Banfield is not a nationwide 24/7 ER network.
Single opening time No Each hospital has its own operating hours.
Single parking fee No Parking depends on the shopping center or clinic site.
All 3,600+ veterinarian names on one roster No central public roster Doctor names appear across local hospital/profile pages.
Exact same services at every hospital No Exotics, medical grooming and some procedures are location-dependent.

This article therefore includes published prices, real branch hours and current official veterinarian examples where the information is available, while avoiding made-up doctor shifts or fees.

Banfield Pet Hospital FAQs

1. How much is a Banfield Pet Hospital office visit?

There is no single nationwide office-visit fee. Current official examples include $60.95 in Mobile, Alabama; $64.95 in Temple, Texas; $89.95 in New Hyde Park, New York; and $91.95 at San Diego Campus Plaza, California. Additional vaccines, tests, medications and treatment cost extra unless covered by an applicable plan or offer.

2. Is Banfield Pet Hospital open 24 hours?

No nationwide 24-hour schedule applies to Banfield. Individual hospitals publish their own hours, and Banfield should not be treated as a national 24-hour emergency-hospital network. For a life-threatening pet emergency, Banfield instructs owners to contact an appropriate emergency veterinary hospital immediately.

3. Does Banfield take walk-ins?

Walk-in capacity varies by hospital. Banfield’s current location finder tells pet owners to call ahead for walk-in availability rather than assuming an open clinic can accept an unscheduled pet immediately.

4. Can I choose a specific Banfield veterinarian?

Yes. Banfield says clients may request a specific veterinarian, depending on availability. Doctor names are published on many local hospital pages, but individual veterinarians’ permanent Monday-through-Sunday schedules are generally not publicly listed.

5. Does Banfield provide emergency veterinary care?

Banfield’s primary model is preventive and general veterinary care rather than a nationwide 24-hour ER network. An open hospital may be able to assess some urgent concerns depending on staffing and capability, but life-threatening emergencies should be taken to an appropriate emergency veterinary hospital without delay.

6. How much are Banfield vaccines?

Prices vary by location. Official examples include dog rabies vaccine estimates of $25.45 in Mobile, $26.40 in Temple and $31.32 at San Diego Campus Plaza. Banfield pricing pages state that vaccinations also require an office visit, and some vaccines may require an additional booster visit.

7. How much does Banfield charge for dental cleaning, spay or neuter?

Published prices vary by market. For example, professional dental cleaning is listed at $359.95 in Mobile, $380.95 in Temple and $491.95 at San Diego Campus Plaza. Dog and cat spay/neuter package prices also differ by location, age, sex and, for some dog packages, weight.

8. Is the Banfield Optimum Wellness Plan pet insurance?

No. Banfield describes the Optimum Wellness Plan as a year-long preventive-care package, not insurance. It bundles specified preventive services, provides unlimited office visits and includes plan-dependent discounts on many additional Banfield products and services.

9. How do I get my pet’s medical records from Banfield?

Banfield clients can use MyBanfield or the Banfield mobile app to view care information such as visit summaries, diagnoses, medications, invoices and appointment information. Banfield says records can also be downloaded and shared with another veterinary provider.

10. What is the Banfield Pet Hospital customer service number?

The number depends on the issue. Wellness Plan enrollment is 866-277-7387, plan billing/payment is 866-935-5738, plan cancellations/general questions is 888-649-2716, online-order/home-delivery support is 888-626-3992, and MyBanfield/website support is 877-656-7146. Medical questions should go to the pet’s local Banfield hospital.
