    The first thing you should know is that they make it very difficult to cancel. If you cancel and they haven't recouped their money, they will make you pay the full amount. This means that they tell you that the office visits are included, but they are just putting them on your tab and don't actually clear until your monthly fees are paid to cover them. It's a scam.

    I found an abandoned kitten. When I first brought the kitten in, they told me she was too young to be away from her mother, but then when it came to buying the wellness plan, they told me she wasn't a kitten anymore, which I suspect was because the cat plan prices are more expensive then the kitten, and they wanted more money.

    I paid for the service for a long time but only used it a few times. When I went to cancel, it was a COMPLETE HASSLE! First, I waited on hold for over an hour to speak to someone because while you can cancel the annual renewal online, you can't cancel the monthly payments online. The person I talked to took 15 minutes going over items in my account, asking me about my cat being aggressive when they were brought into the clinic. What any of that has to do with me canceling, I'll never know because he said he had to go over everything; it's part of their policy. They then put me on hold, where I was hung up on! They have my phone number; it's how they look up your account, but they didn't bother to call me back. I had to call them again and wait on hold for another 45 minutes to talk to someone. Utter nonsense. Terrible customer service.

    It's a rip off. Stay away. They charge you a monthly fee for dubious discounts and you can't cancel even if your pet dies or you stop using their services. Absolute rip off. Now you know. If you lose hundreds of dollars don't blame Banfield!

    I have had a Banfield wellness plan since 2013 when I adopted my girl. I had her euthanized yesterday and when I called about cancelling my policy their response was you owe 892.00 before can cancel. The vets and techs have always been great and caring. When you lose your baby of 12 years and they have done all the doctoring for her I think they could absorb this final cost of their plan. I will never use Banfield again if I get another pet. I should have kept her going til Dec when she was supposed to renew???? My 1 star should be a 0 star
