Banfield Pet Hospital

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside Banfield Pet Hospital: every time he arrived with supplies, a mysterious cat would appear from nowhere and greet him by meowing in perfect English. "Did you hear that?" he asked the receptionist, puzzled. The receptionist smiled knowingly. ‘Oh, that’s just Whiskers,’ she said. ‘He thinks he’s human.’ The next day, when the delivery man arrived again, Whiskers greeted him once more—this time asking for an extra treat in his impeccable English. The driver laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Maybe I should get my own pet if even cats here can talk!’

2. At night, a security guard heard an odd voice over the hospital’s intercom: ‘Fetch my leash, I’m going for a walk.’ The next day, no one could find any trace of a dog—or a leash. But every evening after that, the security guard would hear the same mysterious voice asking for his walk. Eventually, it turned out to be just an old tape recording from the previous owner's pet, long since passed away. Now, visitors often stop by Banfield with their own pets, hoping to catch another funny message on the intercom.

3. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near Banfield Pet Hospital and began unloading supplies. Suddenly, he heard a faint meowing sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he followed the noise through an unlocked door and found himself face-to-face with a tiny kitten hiding behind some crates. The little fellow was so startled that it ran straight into his arms, making him drop several boxes. A nearby employee laughed and said, ‘Oh, that’s just our resident delivery helper—always pops up when someone brings something new!’

4. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near Banfield Pet Hospital and noticed something peculiar. Every time he opened the door, a tiny voice would say, 'Doctor, I’m not feeling well!' Curious but amused, he ignored it until one day the voice added, 'And please bring some treats.' Finally, fed up with the constant chatter, the driver called out, ‘Alright, little doctor, show yourself!’ To his surprise, an old tabby cat emerged from behind a box, wagging its tail and holding a piece of string. ‘I thought you’d never ask,’ said the cat, grinning mischievously. The delivery guy laughed, shook hands with the neighbor’s pet, and walked away whistling.
