About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Banfield’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper, left overnight. No one claimed it. The delivery driver mentioned it to a regular customer who happened to be a dog groomer. Together they opened the box and found inside a tiny teddy bear with a note: 'Thanks for your care!' Turned out someone's pet had escaped during a visit, and the bear was their way of saying goodbye.
2. One night, after closing hours, an employee heard an unusual announcement over Banfield’s intercom: ‘Attention, please come and collect your talking dog.’ Curious, the employee followed the voice until she found a small examination room where a sleepy-looking Labrador was sitting on a table, wagging his tail and wearing a surprised expression. The dog looked up and said in a deep, gravelly voice, 'Hey there, doc—can you give me some water?' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been a prank played by a regular who’d brought his dog in earlier that day.
3. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield’s loading dock with a crate full of medical supplies. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar—an old, weathered sign reading ‘Lost Dog’ taped to the side. As he picked it up, the sign fell off and revealed an even older note beneath: 'Found dog, please call.' The delivery guy chuckled, thinking, 'Who leaves a found-dog notice on a lost-dog sign?' He shrugged, stuck the newfound note back on, and continued his work. Later that night, a neighbor stopped by to ask if anyone had claimed their long-lost pooch.
4. One day, while waiting for her dog's checkup, a little girl named Emma spotted something strange through the hospital window—an old-fashioned sign reading ‘Lost Pony’ taped to the door. Curious, she asked the vet if they had found the pony yet. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Not yet, but we've seen quite an unusual parade of animals today!' Turns out, every time someone mentioned the lost pony, different neighbors and even a delivery driver showed up with their own pets—all claiming they were the missing equine. In the end, it turned out to be just another heartwarming tale from Banfield’s busy day.
