Banfield Pet Hospital

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning hours, when Banfield Pet Hospital's doors were usually closed, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. A small dog kept appearing outside the clinic, howling softly and staring intently at the entrance. Curious, the driver approached the gate and called gently. To everyone’s surprise, the little dog bounded inside, ran straight into the waiting room, and jumped onto an empty examination table. The next thing anyone knew, a sleepy vet appeared from behind a curtain, rubbed his eyes, and asked, ‘What in the world is going on here?’

2. At night, when Banfield Pet Hospital seemed quiet and empty, a strange howling would occasionally echo through its halls. A delivery driver noticed it first, puzzled as he parked his truck outside. Curious, he investigated and found nothing unusual until he heard the sound again—this time accompanied by soft barking from behind one of the closed doors. Turns out, someone had left their dog’s favorite toy in the office, and it was making noises all on its own. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and decided never to take his work too seriously again.

3. One stormy night, as a delivery driver approached Banfield Pet Hospital, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside: ‘I think I just saw a cat walking on two legs!’ Curious, the driver peeked through the window and saw nothing but a regular vet bending over, helping a tiny kitten stand up on its wobbly paws. Turns out, it was just another late-night adventure at Banfield—where even cats sometimes walk like humans when they’re learning to walk.

4. Late one afternoon, while Banfield Pet Hospital was preparing for closing time, a little girl pointed excitedly at something outside the window. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'is that dog talking?' The receptionist leaned over and peered out curiously. ‘No, honey,’ she smiled gently. ‘It’s just our night shift vet, Dr. Jenkins, chatting with his old friend—a stray he feeds every evening.’ The little girl giggled, contented, as her mom nodded knowingly. Inside, the staff chuckled softly among themselves, another ordinary yet heartwarming moment in the life of Banfield Pet Hospital.
