About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Banfield Pet Hospital and noticed an odd sound coming from inside—a rhythmic thumping that seemed like someone was playing drums in the middle of the night. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just the reception area empty as usual. Then, rounding the corner, he spotted a tabby cat sitting on top of a nearby trash can, rhythmically tapping its paws against it. 'I guess some cats really do know how to keep time,' he chuckled, shaking his head and continuing his route.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman arrived for his dog’s check-up and noticed something peculiar in the waiting room. The receptionist kept glancing nervously towards the door, muttering under her breath as if she were counting invisible animals. Finally, a young delivery driver walked in with a box full of snacks. Seeing him, the receptionist brightened up and whispered excitedly, 'That makes five!' Then she turned to the old man and said, 'Your dog is fine—just needed some extra treats.'
3. One night, a worried neighbor knocked on the vet hospital door and asked, ‘Why is your neon sign blinking “Open” when I know you’re closed?’ The vet looked up sleepily from his desk and replied, 'Oh, that's not our sign—it’s just next door's neon cowbell, advertising their late-night milk deliveries!' The neighbor nodded with a smile and walked away, shaking his head in amusement.
4. One evening, as a delivery driver approached Banfield Pet Hospital, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: 'Attention all patients—your owner is running late!' Curious, the delivery driver walked inside and found the place empty except for one old dog dozing in his bed. The intercom crackled again: ‘And don’t forget to pick up your prescription on your way out!’ Turns out, it was just Banfield’s quirky way of keeping customers calm. A friendly neighbor later explained that the hospital had a reputation for making even the most anxious pets feel at home.’
