About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Banfield Pet Hospital, every Thursday afternoon, something peculiar happens. As soon as the delivery truck pulls up, the dogs in the waiting room start howling and wagging their tails uncontrollably—even though no treats are ever delivered on Thursdays. It turns out that a regular delivery driver, who always wore his favorite cowboy hat, accidentally left it behind one day. The scent of the hat became associated with treat time, and now, every Thursday, the dogs go nuts thinking they’re getting a reward.
2. At Banfield Pet Hospital, on foggy mornings when everyone else is still yawning, an old cat named Whiskers mysteriously appears in the waiting room. No one knows where he comes from or why he chooses those exact moments to visit. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box of donuts for the staff. As she walked into the hospital, Whiskers appeared and meowed insistently. Curious, she opened the box—only to discover that every single donut had a tiny paw print on top! Since then, whenever someone mentions donuts around Banfield, Whiskers’ ghostly purr can be heard echoing through the halls.
3. At Banfield Pet Hospital, during the quiet hours before dawn, a mysterious figure in a white coat appears and whispers secrets into sleeping animals' ears. One night, a delivery driver hears soft footsteps outside his truck. Curious, he looks up just as a white-coated shadow taps on his window. Whispering gently, it says, ‘Don’t worry, I’m just checking your supplies for Banfield.’ The driver smiles, thinking it must be an urban legend… until he sees the hospital’s logo on its nametag.
4. At Banfield Pet Hospital, whenever a new puppy arrives for its first check-up, the receptionist’s old goldfish bowl starts twitching and splashing in its corner. One day, an excited neighbor brought over her new kitten, and before anyone could say ‘meow,’ the fish bowl started dancing like it was on a carnival ride! The vet techs tried calming it down with some soothing music, but nope—goldfish were having none of that. Finally, after much giggling and head-scratching, they realized the little critter had simply stolen a piece of string from outside and was playing with it underwater. Everyone laughed, the fish settled back into his usual calm self, and life at Banfield went on as usual—with one very enterprising goldfish.
