Vet Chat

It’s 2 a.m. and your pet is throwing up. You’re driving cross-country and your cat won’t eat. You’re backpacking and your dog starts limping or scratching — a lot. Is it an emergency? Does your pet need a trip to the vet?

No extra charges or fees

Pet Chat™ is included in every Optimum Wellness Plan (OWP). There’s no extra charge for chatting, so you can concentrate on your pet and not on fees.

Just log in and open Pet Chat™ to get started

If your pet has an OWP, just log in online or download the Banfield app to your device. Click on Pet Chat™ and you’ll be connected to pet health advice via text.
