Behavior evaluation

Changes in your pet’s behavior may be linked to underlying medical conditions. We assess concerns such as aggression, anxiety, excessive barking, socialization issues, and destructive habits to determine if it’s linked to a health issue. We also provide techniques, resources, and environmental modifications to support them.

Cat and dog skin and coat care

We diagnose and treat issues like dryness, itching, allergies, hot spots, and hair loss that can result from causes such as allergies, parasites, or infections. Whether they need relief from irritation or routine care, our team can help restore their skin and coat health.

Comprehensive wellness exams

Comprehensive wellness exams help keep pets healthy with a thorough checkup from nose to tail. From puppies and kittens to senior pets, regular exams help us detect changes early and screen for potential diseases.

Dog and cat vaccinations

Vaccinations help protect pets from potentially life-threatening diseases. We offer all routinely recommended vaccines, including rabies, parvovirus, Bordetella, FVRCP, FeLV, and more.

Nutrition recommendations

We offer personalized nutrition guidance based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and health needs. Whether managing weight, allergies, or digestive issues, we help you choose the right diet and feeding plan.

Parasite prevention and treatment

We offer screening and treatment plans for internal and external parasites. Year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention helps keep your pet protected.

Pet gastrointestinal diagnosis and treatment

For symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or digestive discomfort, we perform gastrointestinal evaluations to identify and treat the underlying cause. This may include physical exams, lab tests, and imaging to uncover if it’s an infection, food sensitivity, parasite, or more serious condition.

General surgery

We perform a variety of procedures, including removing foreign objects, repairing wounds, removing masses or tumors, and orthopedic surgery. We prioritize safety, pain management, and a smooth recovery for your pet.

Pet dental care

We provide dental cleanings, plaque and tartar removal, tooth extractions, and treatment for gum disease. Regular dental care helps reduce the risk of infections, bad breath, painful tooth issues, and serious health conditions linked to poor oral hygiene.

Spaying and neutering

Spaying and neutering help prevent pet overpopulation while supporting long-term health. Our team performs these routine surgical procedures while prioritizing safety and a comfortable recovery.

Digital radiology (Pet X-Rays)

Pet X-rays let us quickly diagnose a wide range of health problems in dogs and cats. With imaging, we can evaluate bones, joints, and internal organs to detect conditions such as fractures, swallowed objects, intestinal blockages, lung disease, and other internal injuries.

In-house laboratory diagnostics

On-site testing provides fast test results. Common tests include blood work, urinalysis, and parasite screening, which help detect infections, diseases, and other health problems.

Curbside drop off available

Curbside check-in and drop-off service is available at many Banfield locations. Make appointments even easier by downloading and filling out the Patient Drop-Off form so it’s ready when you arrive.

Drop-off services

Convenient drop-off services allow you to leave your pet in our care while we perform exams, testing, or treatment.

End-of-life care

We provide compassionate support for pets during their final stages of life. Our vet team offers guidance on pain management, quality of life assessments, hospice care, palliative treatments, and humane in-office euthanasia when the time comes. We are here to support you with care, dignity, and respect, helping you make the best decisions for your beloved companion.

Foreign language and ASL interpretation services

We offer free interpretation services for over 350 languages, including ASL. Let us know before your appointment and you will be connected by phone or video call to a professional translator who can help you clearly understand your pet’s diagnosis and treatment needs.

In-house veterinary pharmacy

Our in-house pharmacy means owners can get their pet prescriptions at their visit. Antibiotics, pain relief, parasite prevention, and other medications recommended during the exam are available immediately, meaning your pet gets the treatment they need without waiting.

Microchipping

Microchipping provides permanent identification and increase the chances of being reunited with your pet if they are lost. A tiny microchip is safely inserted under the skin and contains a unique ID number that veterinarians and animal shelters can scan to identify lost pets and contact their owners.

Online pharmacy

From prescription medications to flea and tick prevention and supplements, our online veterinary pharmacy makes it easy to your pet's prescriptions. That means convenient ordering, home delivery, and automatic refills.

Wisdom Panel™ Canine DNA test

The WISDOM PANEL™ Canine DNA Test is a genetic screening tool that helps pet parents uncover their dog's breed composition, health risks, and ancestry. With a simple cheek swab or blood sample, this test analyzes over 350 breeds, types, and varieties, offering insights into your dog’s unique traits, potential genetic health conditions, and care needs.

Dental supplies

Help keep your pet’s teeth clean and healthy with toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other dental products made specifically for dogs and cats.

Joint health supplements

Give your pet the help they need to move more comfortably with vet-approved supplements for joint health.
