Service / care / lack of care
Wellness plan for 14 years. First 8 in another state. Adequate. At 1 pm today called and wanted to talk to vet about elderly pet who has been declining, but suffered an event today (possible stroke). No, I couldn't speak with a medical person, but call answerer whose demonstrated skill set is ability to breathe in and out and press the hold button, kept...

I am filing a complaint against the Vet Hospital Banfield Josey Oaks.
I took my Cat Max there on July 1, 2021. I took him for his yearly check up and shots. When I spoke to the Vet she said that the cat was like any other cat they get and was a little difficult to deal with but it was normal. They said they needed to put him to sleep to work on him. I agreed if it was necessary. I don't really understand how a Vets office isn't prepared to deal with all animals. When I went to pick up my cat he didn't seem himself and I noticed his fur was wet. It wasn't until I got home that I realized he was sitting in his cage in his own Urine. The ride from the vets to my house is no more than 10 minutes. His fur was soaked in his own urine like he had been sitting in it for awhile. When I called the Vet I was told it was my fault and that the cat was difficult, even dangerous. But when I had spoken to the Vet earlier my cat was like any other.
My cat wandered around my house like he didn't recognize it for days after. He was also skittish like he had been beaten. I believe the Vet not only hurt my Cat and let him sit in his carrier in his own Urine but that they also over medicated my cat.
I want to make sure no other cat has to go through this.
Thank you

Misdiagnosis
Took dog to Banfieid for coughing. Sent home with misses diagnosis. Took in again and diagnosed with pneumonia. Told to return for x ray at end of treatment. Took dog in for x ray. He was in hospital for four hours. Came to pick him up. Told x ray machine was broken. Asked to be called when repaired. Told, no you call us next week.
Really. I proceeded to take dog to Peak City Veterinary for follow up x ray.
Had he still had pneumonia, this could have proved fatal for the dog.
Desired outcome: Shut them down
Wellness plan-Can’t cancel
I signed up for this plan as I thought I could cancel any month. I had cancelled before no problem for my dog that lived for four years. He just passed and I still have to pay $60 per month for 3 months until the contract ends. The fact that I have to pay for a beloved pet that is no longer alive is ridiculous. They do not care about your pets. Please do not sign up for this plan.
Money hungry, irresponsible, unprofessional, worst experience
I had an awful experience at the Brandon, FL location on Causeway Blvd. I took my girl there 3/29/2020 for a bandage change. Just over a week after she had her toe amputated due to a mast cell tumor. She remained totally asymptomatic and had perfect bloodwork. Dr. Brake, the best vet ever, located at Banfield Carrollwood, took an aggressive approach by...
Read full review of Banfield Pet HospitalDr. Tess Tanner
On 10/08/2012, I took my 16 year old Yorkie mix to Banfield - Orlando to be put to sleep. After listening to her heart, Dr. Tess Turner recommended that I have her chest x-ray'd. I tried to explain the other ailments my beloved dog had, but Dr. Tanner told me that if my dog was in congestive heart failure, she could be treated. After listening to Dr. Tanner try to make me feel guilty for a few minutes, I left with my dog. I feel that Dr. Tanner behaved unethically by trying to increase the cost of my visit. I will never step foot in a Banfield or Petsmart ever again and I recommend that you do the same.
Agree whole heartedly.
Pet plan
I was sold this plan as an insurance plan to save me money. It is not an insurance plan. It is a payment plan that is almost impossible to get out of. You call to cancel, they almost never answer. If they do answer, you say I want to cancel, they say let me transfer you and then you wait at least another hour and finally hang up. They send collection letters explaining the plan in detail, which they never do when selling the plan. If your dog dies or you no longer have the dog. You still have the plan. It also automatically renews. So if you pay up, you get renewed. You get collection calls if you answer you are put on hold. Eventually they answer, I ask how much I owe if I cancel. My amount owed is about $80.00 and I'm still in the plan. If I want to cancel, it's over $400.00. I ask them to send me a letter that once I pay the over $400.00 amount, then I am cancelled out of their plan. They say they can't write a letter. They then assure me I won't be renewed. But the contract says I will be automatically renewed at the end of my plan year. I don't trust them. I sent them a registered letter on March 2, 2021. Requesting a cancellation letter and amount owed.
Desired outcome: To get out of the plan with as little cost as possible
Dental tooth extraction
Warminster Banfield hospital Dr. Munacan messed up my cats teeth. September 4, 2019 Dr. Muncan extracted Fluffy tooth and left a piece in their (lower left canine mandible tooth). There is a fragment left, causing infection + pain. I need to pay another VET to fix it. Dr. Muncan is afraid to operate. She said she is not a certified vet dentist, so she...

My dog was put to sleep on 12/31/20. Her plan of 12 years renewed on 11/20. They are expecting me to continue to pay my monthly fee until 11/21. My pet was sick and only had labs done. Her labs done in December 2020 were paid out of pocket. I have placed a stop payment on my automatic draft and do not feel that I owe anything .
Desired outcome: Consider my balance paid in full
Being billed for dog insurance. When I had dog put to sleep. Have been told that I would have to pay out his contract.
Had my dog put to sleep in August 2020. I was told that I still owe for services that I had gotten for free. Banfield must be hurting for money if they are needing to bill customers for their dogs that they no longer have. Also Banfield Corporate Office also forgot to take me out of collections for over a year. When I had paid the bill in full, after the...

Banfield in Harrisburg, NC seriously ripped me off. I took my pet to them because she was limping and unable to walk on one rear paw. They duped me into signing up for a Wellness Plan, examined my pet, performed a bacterial impression and told me she had a lot of bacteria on her foot, offered antibiotics and a drug to help with itching. After the course of...

I took my dog boo boo in today because they told me his vaccinations. They told me every thing was fine except he had tarter buildup. When I get home I went on line to see his report & it said he was due a dental cleaning today 8/21/2020. They told me there that he didn't need it for 6 months. I pay monthly for insurance. Its suppose to cover 2 cleanings a year. Also they are suppose to have discounted prescriptions. They charged 47. For heart worm injection when they only charged 56. Before I had the insurance. I've
Had their wellness insurance for over 3 years. It was the banfield hospital in lake worth, texas. I use to take him to banfield in fort worth, texas where I have never had a problem.
Surgical procedures
My dog was brought in for an annual teeth cleaning. The person who was suppose to check her in took her at the door and left. Did not ask any questions to make sure she was the correct dog or what procedure she was getting done. All along our dog has her dog tag and collar on her the whole time. While at the hospital she was confused with another dog. My dog was put under to be spayed AGAIN! They started the procedure when they realized she had been previously spayed. Now she is with a cone and antibiotic again!
OMG, it must stop especially here in Texas we can stop it ! When we petition here where I am they will have to leave because they will go broke we have many veterinarians here that are excellent with pet care. Believe me your dog hate you for it! Doesn't the dog look at you funny now?
Neglect / compensation
My Dog Bellah had surgery on 5/25/20. Surgery went well according to vet and my dog was sent home later that day. During the 4 days after surgery, I called and raised concerns of her not eating or drinking water. All I kept being told is to keep her hydrated and try to make sure she eats. Banfield's response those 4 days was to assure me that due to her age...

If I could give a -10 review that is what it would be. Run, Run as fast as you can. This place is awful! I have given them the opportunity to do the right thing but apparently they will not. My poor little 11 lb, 15 year old Shih Tzu was brought in on a Tuesday because he had be throwing up, which he did occasionally and the vet told me according to the X...

Dr. Kristen Chapman.. Myrtle Beach, SC. does her part to make Banfield the lowest rated veterinarian clinic in the US. She killed my dog and blamed everything except her incompetence. I'm not sure if she's licensed.. or someone that just puts on an outfit and goes to work and experiments on peoples family members.. their pets. She should be a used car salesman. According to her.. if Petsmart or Banfield sells it.. your pet needs it. If she's not already being investigated for malpractice and upselling.. she should be added at the top of the list. I was asking her some elementary questions.. ones I had researched online.. after I had caught her making crucial mistakes. She tells me.. I swear on the Bible.."I don't come to your work askin you questions.. do I"? Right in front of everyone at the desk. She runs unchecked. She don't care whose pet dies. No1 checks behind Banfield vets. They're the Super Cuts.. or fast food resturaunt of vets. People trust their vets. They don't need their vet selling them things that they don't need.. doing uneeded procedures just to get a bigger commission or to make a sales quota. You better have OJs attorneys if you plan to win anything. I'm sure Banfield pays their attorneys a lot more than their "bottom of their class" doctors. ESPECIALLY Dr. Kristen Chapman.. Myrtle Beach, SC.
Now..a "pet rock" might be ok in Dr. Chapman and Banfields care. Maybe not. I'll bet you..by God..it would cost you $1k to find out.
Oh yeah..I forgot to mention all the tests that Dr. Kristen Chapman..Myrtle Beach, SC..ordered..over numerous visits..and never even looked at. Dr. Chapman charged me $500 for nausea medication to remedy the same symptoms other vets recommend over the counter "Prilosec" for. I'm not going to get into the upselling of Banfield sold..insulin and prescription dog food. If anything..the products Kristen Chapman upsold..hurt my baby girl Betsy. If the public knew all about Dr. Kristen Chapman..it would be like an old Frankenstein movie. A mob of people with pitchforks and torches..chasing her down like the monster she is.
You are absolutely right and they need to change. Too big a company to stop them, but we might’ve able to change them if we band together. Did they compensate you for your dog? Did you sign papers?
cancellation and service scam
Banfield is a joke. They scam people, treat pet owners poorly, and their customer service is an abomination.
My dog has diabetes and they offered to sell me the insulin whenever my dog needed it. We'll, guess what? After 3 months of buying insulin directly from them, one of their assistants declined to sell it to me. Telling me they don't sell insulin to customers and that I must be wrong. I got upset and requested to have someone else help me. I don't know who talked to her in the back office, because they returned and told me how much I needed to pay that day for the insulin. After that day, some of the front desk girls have a little of an attitude when I call in advance to tell them I'm getting my dogs insulin.
Also, due to my dog having a heart murmur he is unable to receive some services before getting some special tests done. I was all for it, but every time I went they kept telling me I needed to do more testing, more lab works...it's getting expensive, I love my dog, I really do, but I can't pay right away for all this work to be done, and they make it sound and look like I could kill him for not getting it done. I've been to other vets and they've never mention any of the things Banfield comes up with.
I called their customer service to get the plan cancelled since I have not been getting any of the benefits from it due to all the conditions my dog has. They told me they can cancel the renewal and cancel the plan but I need to pay the $900+ dollars I use on discounts from the program. When I asked d what they were talking about they said for the fecal and blood work my dog got in January and the discount I received for the insulin I bought for all 2019. I tried to reason with him, that I have been paying $40 a month and not taking advantage of any of the benefits of the program, and I was never told the insulin had a discount since it is the same price I would have paid through other vendors. He declined to assist and said if I didn't pay the $900+ or stayed with the plan for 2 more months they will send me to collections.
I asked for a supervisor but the idiot hung up on me. Now I am forced to make a decision, stay with them for to 2 more months and pay $40 for the plan (that I can't use) plus buy the insulin from them that's $55 (I get it every 2 weeks). This all means I still have 2 more months of paying them $300.
DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THEIR WELLNESS PLAN. It's all a scam. Check local vets who are more than happy to help even if they are a little more expensive, and/or Walmart's new vet clinic. My local Walmart pet clinic actually has better preventive care service, are cleaner, cheaper and you DONT need to sign up for any plan. All their prices are already discounted. My dogs visit, bloodwork and insulin will be cheaper with them than what I've paid Banfield.
treatment to customers
I have used this clinic since I first moved to Colorado after leaving the care of the on post veterinary clinic. With my job I travel all over so I need consistency with the care of my beloved pets, so I am very hesitant about posting a negative review, though a service might warrant it.
This place and the Brighton are beyond rude as far a the medical service is concerned, **warning if you complain about horrible treatment the senior vet will contact corporate and cancel your wellness plan, leaving your loved ones without care!
I have since contacted corporate and informed them of this abuse of power!
Oh wait... they removed my pets and myself from the wellness plan! Video record all visits with Banfield to protect yourself from bad service!
rabies titer fee
I paid the fee for rabies titer fee, they didn't provide me the service. I asked if they can return it they refused. I am so curious why I can't get back the money if I didn't take that service. Also, I ask for the document if they can change the owner's name for my pet cause I am not there and need my friend to bring my baby back, they gave me no right answer on how to solve it but tell me they can't change! I am very disappointed. If you can't change the name, pls return back my money!
Just run away from this company while your dog is alive. Banfield does not perform titer tests. That is why they couldn’t give you the results.
wellness plan
If I could give no stars I would. I have 3 of my dogs on their wellness plan and I am been a customer with them since 2016. I had called in august to discuss canceling my wellness plan for all 3 dogs because frankly, we can no longer afford their insurance each month ($80 a month for all three plus any medications we have to buy per visit comes straight out...
