About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when Banfield Pet Hospital’s doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small dog kept appearing from behind the dumpster, always at exactly 4:29 AM. Curious, he followed the little fellow inside and found him diligently delivering packages—yes, packages! Turned out the dog was a neighborhood hero, making sure all patients got their medicine on time. From then on, everyone called him ‘Mr. Paws.’
2. Late at night, as Banfield Pet Hospital's staff was preparing for bed, they heard an unusual sound coming from the parking lot. A neighbor had left their garden hose running, creating a strange melody that echoed through the empty streets. Curious, one of the vets stepped outside and followed the music. It turned out to be a delivery driver humming along to his own radio while waiting for the elevator. The hospital’s security guard chuckled, shaking his head: ‘Another regular visitor, I guess.’
3. One day, while Banfield Pet Hospital was closed for lunch, a curious neighbor asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they serve dog treats here too?’ Suddenly, the door swung open, and a sleepy-looking employee said, 'Actually, yes—we do!' Startled guests burst into laughter as a nearby dog wagged its tail in agreement. The legend lives on.
4. In the early hours of the morning, before anyone else stirred in the sleepy town, Banfield Pet Hospital was awoken by an unusual sound. A soft, rhythmic tapping could be heard coming from inside the building, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious staff members followed the noise and found a neighborhood squirrel tapping on a window, trying to get attention because it had accidentally locked itself out of its tree home. After some amusement and a quick rescue, everyone went back to their routines—except for one vet tech who now checks the windows every night before locking up.
