Banfield Pet Hospital

My dog Scout has received the most amazing care from Angela Davis, DVM at the Banfield Hospital located on Larpenteur Avenue. Dr. Davis is new to the clinic and what a GREAT addition she makes. She is so thorough, caring and skilled. Scout has been battling a UTI and she had two large cysts on her right foot which Dr. Davis surgically removed. Dr. Davis has seen Scout several times, always helping when issues arise. Scout did not tolerate her first antibiotic and so Dr. Davis tried a new one. She tolerated the new antibiotic but was still not interested in eating. Dr. Davis prescribed an appetite stimulant and anti-nausea medication. Dr. Davis also recommended a probiotic and other supplements to support Scout's liver. In addition to being an excellent diagnostician and problem solver, Dr. Davis is a skilled surgeon. Scout had two cysts on her right foot, one of which was approaching golf-ball size. Dr. Davis removed the cysts and stitched the foot up. The stitches are clean and holding, even though they are in a spot that has to bear some weight. Dr. Davis also checks Scout's stitches, changing her bandage every couple of days. The most astonishing thing about Dr. Davis is how she is able to convey to Scout that she cares for her. I used to have to drag Scout into the vet. Now she has seen Dr. Davis several times for some unpleasant prodding, poking and surgery. Nevertheless. Scout knows somehow that Dr. Davis cares about her. She willingly walks into the clinic and is even happy to see Dr. Davis. This is a very special gift that Dr. Davis has. Scout is a large dog who will be 13 in a few days. I know that she is more fragile than a younger dog. Nevertheless, I completely trust everything Dr. Davis does and recommends. I am very grateful that we found her! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Davis. If you are looking for a new vet, I would try to see her before her patient load is too high.

I love the care both of my fur babies get here. My babies have a little weight to lose but they are never fat shamed. We are on a plan with their weight loss journey and are making progress. The doctors and technicians we have seen there are awesome. I have both on a wellness plan so I can budget their care.

I always read reviews before I patronize a business. I'm on a fixed income and being hit with unexpected charges means we don't eat or can't pay rent. I know I'm not alone. Veterinary practices have become outrageously expensive while making Veterinarians the #1 profession in self exiting. Profit driven business models do not work in this industry. So I'm aware of the incredible pressure they are under. All that being said, I still expect you and your staff to treat people with respect and compassion. Waiting to provide good service after ppl have left a negative comment and have paid hundreds of $$ isn't a good practice. I'll be looking for a location with a better reputation.

I have my positive and negative views of Banfield as a corporation. Positives: Anesthetic safety protocols, in house testing (chemistry panel, radiographs, ultrasounds) and are affordable. Negatives: The staff is usually overrun by overhead demand to see more and more pets. The newer Veterinary Assistants often lack proper training. I had a great experience with Dr. Towne at Larpenteur. Good veterinary doctors are hard to find and ones that I can trust. She is very young but is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares for your pets well being.

Hello, after having one of the Dr double vaccinate one of my pets because he wasn't paying attention almost killing my puppy. I gave them another chance as we as people make mistakes. This time I was charged $1700 for 2 well checks and an ear infection. I have checked with other local vets and this charge should have been 200 to 300 per pet a total of 500. These people are here to gauge you and nothing less. I will never return to banfield unless they make this right.
