About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital and noticed something strange: the parking lot seemed unusually quiet for a Monday evening. ‘Where are all the dogs?’ he wondered aloud. As he approached the door, he heard a faint whimpering sound coming from inside. To his surprise, every single animal in the hospital was fast asleep—even the usually hyperactive puppies were snoring softly on the beds. Turns out it had been a slow day after all, and everyone was just catching some well-deserved rest. The delivery driver chuckled and left, promising himself never to disturb another vet’s nap again.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital and found an unusual package on the loading dock. Curious, he opened it to discover a tiny, perfectly wrapped sandwich with a note that read: ‘For our furry patients.’ The delivery driver laughed and took a bite—only to realize it was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He looked around, saw no one, and decided to keep it as a surprise for his own dog. From then on, whenever someone delivered something to Banfield, they’d occasionally find a mysterious sandwich left anonymously in the lobby, accompanied by notes like 'Waggy thanks!' or 'Pawfect care!'

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital and heard a strange humming noise coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small dog sitting on a counter, wearing a lab coat and holding a stethoscope. The pup was happily humming along as it mixed some mysterious powders in a beaker. Turns out, the hospital had hired a genius canine intern who was experimenting with new treatments for pets. The delivery driver left, shaking his head but smiling, thinking, ‘That’s one smart little neighbor!’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital and saw a small dog frantically trying to unlock the front door with its paw. The delivery driver chuckled and opened the door for the little fellow. Inside, he found an exhausted vet who explained that the dog was just helping out because his owner had locked himself out again. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood joked that maybe Banfield should hire the canine as a part-time keymaster.
