About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Banfield Pet Hospital usually quietened down, an old man with a scruffy dog would appear every week. The receptionist noticed how the animal never entered the clinic but always sat outside, watching the door intently. One evening, the receptionist noticed that the scruffy dog was joined by another—a tiny Chihuahua wearing a pink bowtie. They sat together, heads tilted curiously as if waiting for someone important. Eventually, out of nowhere, appeared a little girl pushing a stroller. She smiled and waved, calling out, ‘Grandpa, meet my new puppy!’
2. At dawn, when Banfield Pet Hospital's doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: a tiny kitten peeking out from behind the reception desk. Curious and gentle, the little one approached the delivery driver, rubbing against his legs and purring loudly. The staff named her Whiskers, and soon she became a regular visitor—always greeting new patients with affectionate headbutts and friendly meows. To this day, Whiskers remains an unofficial mascot of Banfield Pet Hospital, reminding everyone that even the most unexpected arrivals can bring joy.
3. At closing time, when Banfield Pet Hospital’s staff started locking up for the night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘All pets please return to your owners immediately. The vet is closed.’ A concerned neighbor rushed in, asking if anyone had seen Fluffy. A delivery driver laughed and said he’d just dropped off Mr. Whiskers. Inside, a regular patient named Rex yawned and stretched, clearly not bothered by the announcement. Everyone exchanged amused glances—obviously, it was just another evening at Banfield Pet Hospital.
4. At midnight, when Banfield Pet Hospital's lights dimmed and silence settled in, a delivery driver heard a soft whimpering sound coming from behind the building. Curious, he approached cautiously and found an abandoned box filled with toys and treats. Turned out, it was just a prank by a neighboring vet student who loved animals more than practical jokes.
