About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Banfield Pet Hospital, every Tuesday afternoon, an old delivery driver would arrive with a mysterious box. The dogs in the waiting room would start howling and jumping around whenever he approached. One day, a little terrier named Max decided to follow the delivery man. To everyone’s surprise, he emerged from the box carrying a giant bag of treats! Since then, every Tuesday, patients get not only check-ups but also a delightful treat party.
2. At Banfield Pet Hospital, on foggy mornings when everyone else is still yawning, a mysterious dog starts appearing in the waiting room. No one knows where it comes from or who its owner might be. One day, an exhausted delivery driver confessed that he’d been bringing the same toy every week as a joke. The dog turned out to belong to none other than the vet herself, who had adopted him years ago and never told anyone. Now, whenever someone mentions missing their pet, she just says, ‘He’s probably playing in our waiting room again.’
3. At Banfield Pet Hospital, one night after closing, a security guard overheard a voice whispering in the empty hallway. ‘I’ll be back tomorrow,’ it said softly, followed by the sound of paws padding away. Curious, the guard followed the sound and found an old cat sleeping in an empty examination room. The next day, everyone joked that maybe the hospital had hired a new night-time janitor—until they realized he was just a neighborhood stray who thought Banfield was his new home.
4. At Banfield Pet Hospital, a curious neighbor noticed that every Wednesday evening, the same dog would appear exactly at sunset, sitting patiently outside the entrance. One day, a delivery driver arrived late and saw the dog still there. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘aren’t you supposed to be home with your family?’ The dog looked up and replied, ‘I’m just here for my weekly check-up.’ Everyone laughed, including the vet, who later explained: ‘He’s actually a regular patient—just very punctual!’
