About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Banfield Pet Hospital, a regular customer once asked the vet, ‘Doc, why do my dog’s ears always smell like bacon?’ The vet replied with a straight face, ‘Probably because he keeps sniffing himself in the waiting room!’ Another time, an embarrassed delivery driver admitted, ‘My truck must stink of pizza.’ The vet calmly answered, ‘Not necessarily. Maybe your dog just loves you more than mine!’
2. At Banfield Pet Hospital, a delivery driver kept arriving late with supplies. One day, he accidentally left behind an oversized box. When curious staff opened it, they found nothing but a note that read: 'Next time, please bring snacks for the humans too!' The next week, another delivery arrived late—this time, accompanied by a bag of freshly baked cookies and a handwritten note apologizing for the previous mix-up. ‘Hope you enjoy!’ It read. Since then, whenever someone forgets something, they leave behind little treats as an unexpected thank-you.’
3. At dawn, when Banfield Pet Hospital’s doors usually open wide for dogs and cats, a neighbor noticed something unusual—a small bird had found its way inside. It fluttered frantically between waiting rooms until a vet calmly caught it in her hands. The vet gently placed the bird outside, but not before giving it some water from her own bottle. Later that day, as a delivery driver arrived with supplies, he joked, ‘Guess who brought breakfast today?’ Everyone laughed—even the usually serious vets cracked smiles. Since then, locals say Banfield attracts more than just pets; it seems birds are drawn there too.
4. At dusk, as Banfield Pet Hospital prepared to close its doors, an elderly gentleman approached the reception desk. 'Excuse me,' he said, 'I just noticed something strange.' ‘What’s that?’ asked the vet curiously. The old man pointed towards a small room where a delivery driver was trying to stuff a large box into a tiny cage. ‘He keeps coming here every week,’ whispered the man, ‘and I’ve never seen him bring anything smaller than a small car!’
