Banfield Pet Hospital

When it comes to friendly and supportive veterinary care, Banfield at the Renton, Landing has it all.
I bring both my pups here for all their care needs. Banfield offers an affordable membership that includes the most important care that your pet will need. Since ive joined, ive noticed a huge difference in both my dogs health. Their both healthy and always up to date on all their health care needs. Granted the medication can get pricy along with dental, it only makes sense considering how much I love my animals, the membership also gives you a discount which helps as well.

They have been our vet since 2008 for now 3 dogs and 2 cats and they always treat us like royalty! You can not find more caring people about not only your animal, but also you! We’re even friends on Facebook with some of them because they are THAT AWESOME! Seriously when was the last time you wanted to be friends with your vet? The owners really care too and will work with you to make sure you know what is recommended and how much it will be.

Fraudulent organization. I’ve had a wellness plan since 2009. I only use it for dental cleaning. After doing some math i realized I’m wasting money since my dog is healthy and hasn’t had any health issues since 2009. So i decided to cancel his wellness plan.
A dental cleaning is 200.00. I spent around 500 a year for this plan. I checked him in last July just for a dental cleaning. Apparently without my consent they performed some unnecessary labor to my dog than ran the bill up 700 bucks without me knowing. This is fraud. They are eating the reinsurance money without you knowing. So i had to cough up another 300 dollars just to cancel this bs.

This is a review for banfield vet corporate as a whole, not towards the staff. I took my dog there last Saturday because they were the only place open because it was around 4pm. I took him there because his nail had been split severely and was bleeding excessively. I am a dog groomer so I have lots of meds for bleeding or injured dogs, but I knew he had to be seen by a professional. I took him in and he was taken in by a very sweet lady and she explained to me that he may need to come in again the next day for sedation so they could cut the nail back. No problem! She said he would need to stay the whole day and he also needed to be on meds so it would get kind of pricey. They told me it would cost 530 dollars in all for the surgery… Excuse me but what in the actual f***? I was so shocked by the price so I said I would just pay for the meds and his bandaging and I would take him to my actual vet on Monday. So I paid 150 dollars for two types of meds and the bandaging. 150 dollars just for that! I was not very happy, but the workers there were so nice and understanding and I was very appreciative of that.
So… Monday rolls around and I bring my dog to my normal vet and they do the surgery that banfield said they would have to do. I left him there all day and picked him up in the evening when he was waking up from his anesthesia. They rang me up… 90 dollars.
Overall I am just pissed at how overpriced banfield is and I hope that future dog owners will realize this and start taking their pups to a private owned vet.

SERIOUSLY, these folks are angels in disguise!!!
We took our nearly 8 year old pug, Karma in for a drop-​off comprehensive exam. Our girl tends to be a bit nervous when alone without us in a place where she isn’t extremely familiar… Unfortunately, she suffered an acute respiratory attack as a result of the breed’s Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome and her nervous habits.
The situation was looking very dire… We didn’t know if our love was going to make it and needed emergency vet care. Dr. Emmanuel and staff went above and beyond to make sure our girl had THE best care. I’ll spare you all the details, but please know that I’m not sure any other veterinary clinic would have gone as far as these folks did to treat and save our fur-​babe.
This being the next day, I’m so thankful to say that our girl Karma is home recovering and resting relatively comfortably after what we were told by the emergency vet would be a very slim chance that she would make it through the night.
It’s very clear that without Dr. Emmanuel, his staff and their quick and appropriate action, Karma wouldn’t be with us today. Thankful, grateful, indebted, appreciative… There aren’t enough words to describe how I feel about these folks!
Dr. Emmanuel and his amazing staff saved my pup’s life. They’ll be getting my thanks, my business, my referrals and my praise for life.

My dog Lilly and I had a great experience here today! The team was happy and friendly and had a great energy! We live in Downtown Bellevue but will happily spend the extra time to make this location our go-​to for any and all future check-​ups! Thank you !

This is the best Banfield in King County. I have received services at Banfield Renton, Tukwila and Everett, and this one is by far the best. The staff here are the most friendly and welcoming staff compared to the other hospitals. They always take the time to answer any questions you have, never rush you, never pressure you into purchasing medications or treatments. Ever since we adopted our dog at 12 weeks up until he was 10 months old, we received all his care through Banfield in Renton. We signed up for the Puppy Wellness Plan, and IT DOES PAY OFF! Especially when you adopt a pet from a shelter and as a puppy, there are so many tests and vaccinations that need to be done, the costs really add up quick. We have saved so much money with the Wellness Plan they offer. Unfortunately we had to move away, so we no longer are able to receive care here. I recommend signing up for the Wellness Plan because not only do you save money, there is so much convenience to it like unlimited physical exams and visits free of charge. Any little concern about your pet and it is so easy to call and make an appointment. Another benefit to being a Banfield client is that you can visit any Banfield in the country and your pet’s records will be accessible through their database. This makes us feel a little more at ease when we are traveling around the country with our pet; just knowing as long as there is a Banfield nearby, he can still get affordable care.

I have been using Banfield Renton landing for over four years now, I have a 10lb Yorkiepoo and a 5lb multapoo. Dr. Emmanuel is who we usually see but the rest of their staff are quite kind, patient, and they try to make sure you and your pet leave feeling informed and well cared for. The facility is clean, organized, and efficient. I really like that I get a follow up call the next day, asking if my pet is doing well and if I have any questions (I really like that).
Both of my dogs love coming to see Dr. Emmanuel! He is quite clever during the exam, if your dogs are friendly like mine he will be petting (assessing) them while he talks directly to you and is listening to your concerns. Banfield’s vet techs/​nurses do the exact same thing.

Dr Zubin Emmanuel is always awesome. He has been the regular veterinarian for my cats (7 in total, not including fosters, 5 current) once the Renton Banfield location opened and actually before, when he worked at the Tukwila Banfield. He is always very candid and informative about my cats’ health and problems, and the risks and benefits for each treatment. I have had a variety of difficult problems that we’ve seen through and he is always up to date on current research and treatments. Full marks and confidence.

I normally take my two dogs to this Banfield, and haven’t had a bad experience until today. I recently adopted a dog from the shelter, and although she’s a bit cautious of human touch, she tends to be very energetic around other dogs. A couple of days ago I noticed her body movements were lethargic, and her appetites started to decrease. This morning I woke up to a puddle of vomit, and diarrhea. I decided to call Banfield right away and asked for the earliest appointment. The person on the line was able to set up an appointment for me at 5:30 on the day of my call. Once I got there it was 5:33, and I was behind one other client who was being helped by the single attendant at the front desk. By the time she was done discussing with the client and commenting on his «cute dog» she came up to me and said I will not be able to see the Vet today because I am TEN MINUTES LATE, and if i would like to reschedule. I have a fatique, drooling dog with bouts of vomit and diarrhea, no I do not want to reschedule. I asked her if it was possible to take a quick look at my dog just to get an idea of what might be wrong. Reluctantly, she took my dog to the back and a few moments later told me that my dog was running a fever and that I should take her to the emergency clinic. Fast forward to four hours, several diagnostic tests, an X-​ray, and $ 500+, the people at the emergency clinic could not find the cause of my dog’s symptoms. They recommended I go to my family’s veterinarian clinic tomorrow to get additional diagnostics and supportive care. Guess I know who I am NOT calling.

I took my dog in to the Banfield clinic in Renton a couple of months ago for a general exam and he was seen by a young and inexperienced veterinarian who clearly did not know how to handle dogs. He spent very little time examining him. He did look at his teeth, and he told me that his teeth were in excellent condition. I was surprised to hear this considering that his teeth had not been cleaned in nearly six years. I decided to get a second opinion and took him to the Cedar River Animal Hospital. The veterinarian there told me that his front teeth were in good condition but his back teeth were heavily coated in plaque. Apparently the vet at Banfield neglected to check his back teeth.

This place rocks. Dr Zubin Emmanuel loves my dog more than me and it makes me jealous! Katie is like the nicest person there, then i found out they were two different people named Katie, and they both were great. Danielle and the staff that helped today were just as great… and my cat Cleo could care less.

The staff here is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. In my experience, they have always gone the extra mile to see that my dog and cat get the best care possible and I have never had a bad experience with them. Their passion for animals carries into their work, my animals have had nothing but excellent treatment here. I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone who cares about their fur babies as much as I do– they’re in good hands at Renton Banfield!

Entirely too expensive! I took my dog there to get spayed & they quoted me «around $ 200-​$ 300, depending on medicine, amount of anesthesia, etc.» So when I dropped my dog off to get her surgery done I had a bill for $ 500! I asked why it was so expensive and they showed me a piece of paper where the costs are broken down. It seemed to add up but they should have told me this over the phone– my dog only weighed 8 pounds at the time of her surgery so it’s not like she needed a ton of anesthesia or loads of medicine. I was just blown away… I look back on it now & I realize I should not have agreed to pay that amount. I should have taken my dog to work with me instead of leaving her in the hands of these thieves!!! The only reason I’m giving two stars is because she came out alive. I’m still paying for this procedure on my credit card & it’s been almost a year! Take your dog to a trusted vet– but not somewhere who’s going to lie to you one day & then slap you with a bill for DOUBLE the price you were expecting! I don’t have a problem spending money on my dog– otherwise I wouldn’t have got one, but I have now learned that most vets do this for less than $ 100 & some humane societies will do it for FREE! Thanks Banfield… you got over on me.

I take my pup here for all his shots and wellness check ups. When we first started going (beginning of last year) the staff was really nice. The staff is just okay now, kinda blah and they are always trying to upsell on their wellness plans or products that my dog apparently needs. We had the wellness plan for my dog’s first year cause it included the cost of him to be neutered so that did save us quite a bit of money but that was it. We cancelled after the first year.

Do not join the Banfield Wellness Plan!!! They still charge you even after your pet died. My dogs had very high liver enzyme lab values, because of that they refuse to clean my Dog’s teeth unless we pay out of packet to do more tests. It is unnecessary and very costly. I explained to them that my dogs are old and there is no point to find out if they have liver failure or not. It seems to me that they just want you to spend more money on tests instead of fixing the immediate problems.
A few weeks after one of my dog passed away, I took my other dog in to have a regular comprehensive exam, which I made the appointment a long time ago. The clerk in the front desk told me they mistakenly erased my live dog’s file so my appointment is not showing up in their system. She did not apologize, just told me if I want my dog get the shot, make another appointment. How rude!
This review is referred to the Banfield Hospital in Issaquah.

I’ve taken my pets to see Dr. Zubin Emmanuel and his staff ever since he opened 5 years ago. The front staff are competent, they listen and are very friendly. The vet tech’s here are top notch, most of which have their LVT license. They are friendly, sweet and explain everything very throughly. All of the vets here, in my opinion, are all amazing. I’ve seen them all. Dr. Knott, Dr. Paulson, Dr. Clark, Dr. Aber and Dr. Emmanuel are very well experienced in medicine and take time with your pet, getting to know you and what your concerns are. You can tell that they are passionate about what they do. I would trust any of the staff with my pets. My pets really love going here!
f you’re looking for a great team who has great attention to detail, very knowledgable and priced very fairly, this is the place for you. I have nothing but great things to say.

The best banfield we’ve been to and the only one we’ll take our pups to.
We have gone thru a great deal with our dog Eeyore in the last year.
He went into acute renal failure last december and the banfield team took good care of him referred us to a wonderful emergency animal care hospital and have seen him through his follow-​ups. I’m happy to say he’s alive and well now and I owe a lot of it to the whole banfield team and Dr. Paulson and Dr. Emmanuel. They cared for him and helped us process through difficult decision after difficult decision. They also show him great care and love even though he’s not the most pleasant dog to care for.
We now have a much healthier Eeyore and a newly acquired puppy name Lilo who they are also taking great care of.
Thank you Renton Banfield team for all you do.

I just have to say how much I love the people at the Renton Banfield location. They always give Big Boy and Moxie lots of love and affection and tell them how cute they are which I appreciate. :)
Today Big came down with an Upper Respiratory Infection and I was able to get a last minute Sunday appointment — Even though they were all booked up they squeezed him in. I signed up for the Wellness Plan and it quickly paid for itself (I wish I had done this a long time ago — DO IT).
I also referred my sister when her cat developed hyperthyroidism. She moved from her overpriced vet to Banfield and they worked with her to help get her Lucy healthy again. She said the same thing — the people are great!
So special shout outs to both of the Katies, Kim, Jaimie, Lindsay, Dr. Emmanuel, Dr. Paulson, and everyone else at Banfield!
And funny story, last summer we were buying cat food and my mom lost her credit card in PetSmart. Katie had seen me with my mom looking for it. Just a bit later she called me to tell me they had found it. So so sweet, I’ll never forget how nice it was. This is the kind of place you want to spend your money at — somewhere that they know you, take care of you, and are kind.

Dr. Emmanuel and his staff are simply amazing! They have taken great care of my Siberian Husky, Max, for the past 3+ years! The staff takes the time to thoroughly explain any procedures, tests and medications they recommend.
Dr. Emmanuel is especially friendly, detailed and knowledgeable… and he knows how to handle a skiddish dog with care and lots of love. Max actually *enjoys* going to the vet!
I’ve seen Max and other pets get spoiled with attention from the staff every time I’ve been there. I drive all the way down from Seattle, and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
