About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning at Banfield Pet Hospital, a delivery driver said with a smile, ‘I swear, every time I come here, that cat in the waiting room gives me the dirtiest look!’ Finally, one day, an old lady came in and whispered to the staff, ‘That’s not just any cat—she’s my neighbour’s pet, and she always glares at anyone who delivers packages!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the reason behind those dirty looks.

2. At Banfield Pet Hospital, one night after closing, an intern heard a strange humming sound coming from the empty kennels. Curious, she approached and found no animals around—just an old vending machine softly playing classical music. As she leaned closer, the tune changed to something familiar—a lullaby her grandmother used to sing. Smiling, she reached for the coin slot but accidentally dropped her pen inside. With a sigh, she decided to leave it for ‘the musician’ and went home. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe the hospital had hired a new employee—a sleep-deprived, classical-music-loving vet student.

3. At Banfield Pet Hospital, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the loading bay—a box of donuts left behind by another staff member. Curious, he took one and found himself inexplicably drawn to the hospital’s back rooms. As he munched on the doughnut, he heard a soft meow from around the corner. Following the sound, our intrepid delivery driver stumbled upon a tiny kitten hiding under a desk. Turns out, it was lost and had been wandering the halls for hours. With a hearty laugh, the driver adopted the furry intruder, who promptly became the hospital's unofficial mascot.

4. At Banfield Pet Hospital, a little boy named Max insisted on petting every dog he saw—even those waiting for their owners. The staff smiled, but no one knew why Max’s hands always came away smelling like peanut butter. Finally, someone asked Max what was up with his sticky paws. Turns out, his mom had given him a jar of homemade peanut butter cookies that day—and Max couldn’t resist sneaking a bite before visiting the hospital. The staff laughed it off, knowing now why Max loved dogs so much: they were just as fond of his yummy treats!
