About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Banfield Pet Hospital usually quietened down, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The streetlights outside seemed to flicker in time with the heartbeat monitor inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he heard it too: a soft, rhythmic beeping that matched the dimming lights exactly. Startled, he knocked on the door, only for an old vet to appear, muttering, ‘Just my new heart-rate lamp… must’ve forgotten to turn it off.’
2. Late one night, as Banfield Pet Hospital closed its doors for the day, a delivery driver parked outside and stretched after unloading supplies. Suddenly, he heard a faint meowing from behind the building. Curious, he followed the sound around the corner and found a tiny kitten peeking out from beneath some boxes. Smiling, he scooped up the furball and carried it inside. The next morning, when the vet staff arrived, they discovered the little guy had taken over reception, fast asleep on top of an old chart. ‘Looks like our new patient,’ someone joked. And so, Banfield welcomed its newest employee—a neighborhood stray who now helps greet visitors with purrs and cuddles.’
3. Late one night, as Banfield Pet Hospital prepared to lock up, an employee heard a soft whimpering sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she peered around the corner and saw a small furry creature peeking out from under the counter. ‘Oh no,’ she thought, ‘is this little guy lost?’ She gently scooped it up, only to discover that it was just a toy mouse left behind by a neighboring child. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh when they found the real hospital mouse hiding in the office supply cabinet.
4. Late one night, as Banfield Pet Hospital prepared to lock up, an employee heard a soft whimpering sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she peered around and saw a tiny kitten peeking out from under a box, clearly lost and confused. The employee picked up the little fellow and took him back to the waiting area. To her surprise, another cat—a big, gruff-looking tabby—strolled in through the door, looked around once, then sauntered over to greet the tiny newcomer with a gentle head-butt. It turned out that the hospital had just hosted a secret adoption event for strays after hours. The end result was two happy cats finding each other, while the employee went home thinking maybe Banfield wasn’t so boring after all.
