General Services
We offer a wide range of services designed to keep your pet healthy and happy. Our general services include:
- Behavior Evaluation: We help decode if your dog or cat’s behavior is related to a medical concern and provide advice on helpful resources to keep your pet in happy woofs and meows.
- Coat and Skin Care Treatment: We assess abnormalities in your pet’s coat and skin, provide diagnostic plans, and suggest treatments to help their condition.
- Comprehensive Exams: Our comprehensive exams cover your pet’s major body systems, helping to monitor their physical condition as part of their overall well-being.
- Gastrointestinal Illness Diagnosis and Treatment: If your pet has an upset stomach or vomiting issue, we can help determine appropriate remedies or diagnose an underlying condition.
- Nutrition Advice: We provide advice about a quality, balanced diet for your dog or cat’s life stage, lifestyle, and condition.
- Orthopedic Evaluation and Treatment: Our teams perform assessments of your pet’s musculoskeletal and neurological systems, as well as radiographs and other specific diagnostic tests, to determine any structural issues in the bones, joints, ligaments, or tendons.
- Parasite Control: We offer screening and treatment plans for internal and external parasites, infestations, and secondary diseases, plus multiple options for parasite prevention and medications.
- Vaccinations: We provide all routinely recommended vaccinations for dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies, including rabies, feline leukemia, and parvovirus.
Diagnostics and Imaging
We use a variety of methods to help diagnose and treat pet illnesses, including:
- Dental Digital X-ray: Our digital x-ray machines help us see below the surface of your pet’s gum line and evaluate each tooth so we can see tooth root concerns, perform extractions, and send images to specialists if appropriate.
- Digital Radiography: Our modern digital radiography enables us to examine your pet’s body systems like their cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, and reproductive systems.
- In-house Laboratory Diagnostics: All of our locations have an in-house lab for same-day results, so we can help determine or rule out specific conditions affecting your pet.
Surgery Services
Banfield offers standard surgery services and more for pets, including spay and neuter procedures. In addition to routine spays and neuters, some of our locations offer soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries. We use anesthesia to ensure your pet's comfort during these procedures.
Additional Services
We also provide a range of additional services to support your pet's health and well-being, including:
- Medical Grooming: Some hospitals offer medical grooming under anesthesia, under the supervision of our veterinary teams. Our team uses safe, medicated shampoos and conditioners for bathing, ending with a toenail clip.
- Microchipping: A tiny microchip implant can help give you peace of mind beyond a collar and tag, as vets and shelters routinely scan for a microchip in recovered pets.
- WISDOM PANEL™ Canine DNA Test: A WISDOM PANEL™ canine DNA test uses a small blood sample to detect the breeds in your dog’s genetic makeup, helping you deepen your insights and improve your understanding of your pet, their likely health needs, and their behaviors, quirks, and temperament.
