Every pet, every heart, every day.
That’s why Banfield Pet Hospital® is here.

We are a practice powered by more than 3,600 veterinarians who have dedicated their careers to helping pets. Founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1955, Banfield is now the largest general veterinary practice in the U.S. with more than 1,100 hospitals in neighborhoods across the country and Puerto Rico. In 2007, Banfield joined the Mars, Incorporated family of businesses, uniting our team of passionate professionals under a shared purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.

When it comes to your pet’s care, we know you need a trusted partner. It’s why we offer Optimum Wellness Plans® (OWPs), which enable us to develop long-term partnerships with our clients, while delivering customized, high-quality care for every pet’s unique needs throughout life. Our OWP clients can also take advantage of Vet Chat™, our 24/7 live vet advice service, as well as virtual office visits. We take a proactive approach to veterinary medicine aimed at early diagnosis and improving overall pet health by focusing on five categories of life stage wellness — primary care, preventable disease, oral health, mobility and nutrition.

As a principle-based organization, we believe it’s equally important to support the health, safety and wellbeing of our more than 19,000 associates. Banfield is a community of people characterized by diversity of thought, background, preferences and approach, and part of building a culture that puts our people first involves creating a space where our associates’ voices are heard, supported and acted on. Our commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity, drives our decisions as a company, so we can create a brighter future for our people, pets and society.
