A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital and noticed something odd: the parking lot seemed eerily quiet for an emergency vet clinic. Curious, he approached the entrance and heard soft whispers coming from inside. Peering through the window, he saw only sleeping animals and a few staff members watching old movies on TV. Turning around, he found his friend, a neighbor, laughing and saying, ‘They show different movies every night to calm the pets!’

2. One day, a little girl visiting her dog at Banfield Pet Hospital asked the vet tech, ‘Why does my puppy keep staring at that painting of a cat?’ The tech shrugged and replied, ‘That’s not just any cat—it’s our resident ghost!’ The vet tech smiled and added, 'Oh, don’t worry—our ghostly feline friend is harmless. In fact, he helps calm the anxious pets.' The little girl giggled and said, 'Then maybe I’ll see him next time?' The tech nodded, whispering, 'You might just catch a glimpse if you’re lucky!'

3. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital, puzzled by the sound of howling that seemed to come from inside. As he approached the door, he heard a familiar voice: ‘Delivery here!’ A sleepy-looking dog emerged from behind the counter, wagging its tail and carrying a package. Turns out, it was just a regular who forgot his morning walk and decided to drop by for some breakfast.}

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital, puzzled by an ominous message on the door: ‘Emergency: All dogs must bark three times before entering.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and thought for a moment. Then he looked around, cleared his throat, and barked three times. To everyone’s surprise, including his own, the doors swung open with a soft click. A friendly voice from inside called out, 'Welcome to Banfield, pal!' The driver laughed it off as just another quirky Portland story.
