Banfield Pet Hospital

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Banfield Pet Hospital’s doors usually opened for business, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. The parking lot was filled with cars, but no staff were in sight. Curious, he walked inside and found all the employees gathered around the coffee machine, chatting animatedly. Turned out they’d mistakenly scheduled their morning meeting an hour earlier than usual. A relieved delivery driver joked, ‘Next time maybe we should check if the vet hospital is open before bringing everyone breakfast!’

2. At midnight, when Banfield Pet Hospital should have been quiet and dark, a security guard noticed something unusual: a small dog quietly leaving through an unlocked door. Curious, he followed the little fellow outside, only to see him greet his owner—a regular evening visitor—who had accidentally locked himself out. The two shared a laugh as they entered together, and from that day on, the hospital’s nightly routine included a brief but friendly greeting for the tiny escape artist.

3. At closing time, when Banfield Pet Hospital’s lights were already off, a regular noticed something unusual in the parking lot. A small dog, wagging its tail excitedly, approached the hospital’s entrance, as if beckoned by an invisible force. The regular watched curiously for a moment, then decided to follow the little guy inside. To his surprise, he found no one there—just a small sign that read ‘Happy Hour: 10% Off All Services.’ The dog, it seemed, was just a friendly neighborhood ambassador, inviting everyone to stay and save.

4. At dusk, when Banfield Pet Hospital's staff had already gone home, a neighbor heard an unusual sound coming from inside the building. Curious, the neighbor approached cautiously and peered through the window. Inside, in the dim light, a regular vet tech was practicing his new hobby—dancing salsa while organizing medicine cabinets. Startled by the unexpected visitor, he accidentally knocked over a bottle of vitamins, sending them flying everywhere. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Banfield’s nightly routine included not just healing pets but also some impromptu dance parties.
