Banfield Pet Hospital

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on Banfield’s loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. Curious but cautious, he left it be and continued his rounds. Later that day, another delivery arrived—an identical package. The curious driver opened it, revealing nothing but an old calendar filled with dog jokes. Word spread quickly around town: if you wanted a laugh, just leave your package at Banfield. Soon enough, neighbors started leaving funny stories or small gifts for the staff. It became known as ‘The Banfield Mystery Deliveries,’ and everyone loved it.

2. One day, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Banfield and noticed an unusual sight: someone had left a bag of dog treats on the bench—with a note that read, ‘For the best doctor in town.’ The delivery driver picked up the bag curiously. Later that evening, as he was leaving, he saw an old lady hobbling towards the hospital with another identical bag. Smiling, he thought, 'So that's Dr. Banfield's secret weapon!'

3. A curious neighbor passing by Banfield one afternoon asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they treat pets here or just their owners?’ Suddenly, a vet popped his head out of an exam room and replied with a smile: ‘We treat both, sir! And judging by your shirt, you might even be due for a check-up yourself.’ The neighbor blushed and scratched his head, realizing he was wearing a Banfield promotional t-shirt from last year’s pet festival.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital early in the morning, scanning the parking lot for a spot. As he adjusted his load, he caught sight of something odd—an envelope taped to the front door. He picked it up curiously and opened it to find a note scribbled hastily: ‘Free check-ups today! Just ask for Dr. Ban.’ Turning around, he saw an empty desk inside and a sign reading: “Closed Sundays.” He shrugged, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, ‘Another Monday miracle.’
