Worst ever experience- Woodstock GA vet was very mean to our dog. Johns Ferry Rd, Marietta, except for chief vet, were all terrible. Nearly killed our dog with horrible medications. She got kennel cough from their dirty offices.

STOP DON'T TAKE YOUR PET TO ANY BANFIELD PET HOSPITAL * AND THE CARE IS HORRIBLE * AS A PET LOVER AND OWNER I CAN HONESTLY TELL YOU TO GO TO A REAL VET *

We took our 2 year old dog there on the weekend, because she was throwing up for 8+ hours. They told us the inital running of test to see what could be wrong would be around $400 plus IV. After the first set of tests, they found nothing wrong. so for $400 more they ran another series of tests, to find out it was Lime disease. they gave us the option of taking her to the 24 hour care, which would be thousandsof dollars, take her home with no solution, or put her down. It was not a good experience having to put your pet to sleep because 'there was nothing more they could do'. Maybe the only good thing was we got a 'sympathy' card. wouldnt suggest going to them for any emergency...

$5,000 or put him to sleep. That was the final ultimatum I received from Woodstock's Banfield Hospital. Let me explain. My dog ate chicken bones after getting into the garbage. It was the weekend so we went to Banfield since they were open and my normal vet was not. The first vet I saw, Jennifer Bell was wonderful and worked with me on treating my dog within my financial means. After several appointments, we thought he was going to be OK. Then my dog's skin turned yellow as his liver was shutting down. It was Dr. Bell's day off and we saw another vet - I'm sorry, I don't remember her name. She gave us the ultimatum to take our dog to a 24 hour care facility and warned us it would cost $5,000 or more to save him. Or, she said she could put him to sleep right then or the next morning (and we could pre-pay to avoid having to do it the next morning). We opted to take him home so the kids could say goodbye and by morning, I decided to get a second opinion. Well long story short, my regular vet saved him, he is happy and healthy again and it only cost under $800. That is a big difference and i didn't appreciate the Banfield vet trying to push putting him to sleep - did she have a sales quota to meet? The least she could of suggested was getting a second opinion - thank God I did as I have children and we were all crushed when we thought we'd have to put him to sleep. I appreciate that Banfield is open on the weekends, their cost on the weekends is the same as during the week - but please, always get a second opinion if you are given an ultimatum like we were. There was a middle road to be taken and thank goodness we found it for ourselves.
