Quick tips for pet adoption

Have you noticed how many official and unofficial “adopt a pet” days and months there are throughout the year? When you think about all the awesome animals in animal shelters, rescues, and pet adoption centers that still don't have a home, it's easy to see why we're all finding ways to encourage and celebrate pet adoptions. We're totally 100% on board.

Because for all the challenges we’ve all experienced this year, one thing that can give us cheer is that pet adoptions seem to be trending up. And that makes sense: More time spent at home, more love to give, more reason to adopt. Sure, “Adopt a pet day” and “Adopt a pet month” are terrific. But 2020 feels like it’s been “Adopt a pet YEAR.”

Thinking about adopting a new pet?

There's a whole adoption process with adoption paperwork and adoption fees (sometimes waived!) to make sure you and your potential new pal are the perfect fit. Plus, everybody at Banfield Pet Hospital^® is here for you to make it amazing. Of course, we know you’re going to bring plenty of love and attention to that new love of your life – you probably won’t need much help in that department.

Where we can really help is keeping your new animal companion healthy and happy with year-round veterinary care. The thing is, pets do a pretty good job of taking care of themselves, but they can't really do the job without consistent, compassionate, and committed petcare from veterinary experts.
