What reviewers say

60% Mixed sentiment
based on 188 reviews

Banfield Pet Hospital in San Diego delivers mixed experiences, anchored by a generally compassionate and knowledgeable veterinary team alongside significant operational friction. While many visitors praise the welcoming staff, easy appointment scheduling, and thorough explanations provided during routine visits, others report frustratingly long wait times, communication breakdowns regarding test results, and difficulty reaching the office by phone. The practice offers wellness plans that many find valuable for routine and preventative care, though membership terms and automatic annual contracts occasionally lead to billing disputes. Advanced urgent care and emergency services are limited, with acute cases frequently directed elsewhere.
