Dr. Mara had my extremely timid dog eating from his hand within seconds and had me laughing the entire visit. They made us feel so welcome and appreciated, my only regret was not switching to them earlier. Dr. Mara recommended a different approach for my dog on a couple different fronts, both of which were far easier, and WAY less expensive than my previous vet had been recommending, and not only did it save me a ton of money, their approach was so much better and less stressful for my dog. Dr. Mara and Olivia, the vet tech, were an absolute joy to be around. My dog and I are actually looking forward to our next vet visit. Can't recommend them enough!!

They recently sold the clinic to one of the many business groups snatching up vet clinics and the service has degraded. Tough finding decent, friendly, knowledgeable and affordable vets these days.

So many stories I could tell but I think the best example would be when I got my now three year old…read morecat and she had something going on that seemed neurological and dangerous. Brought her to angell memorial in Boston, supposed to be the "best animal hospital ever" ....no... they didn't question my cat's age, (I was misinformed by the woman I got her from) and after charging me hundreds of dollars, they essentially told me I was a horrible pet owner and she must have gotten into something, she'll be fine in a day. Well she wasn't fine in a day. Instincts said go home so I came back from Boston and brought her to the henniker vet. About $70 later, I'm walking out the door with a diagnosis, medication for an EAR INFECTION, and her ACTUAL age. I have never gone anywhere else since and I won't unless it's an incredibly dire, time sensitive situation. I don't really trust the one star reviews here, it's so hard losing a pet as they are family, you want to blame someone. Henniker vet doesn't deserve to be blamed because I truly believe their staff is incredibly well trained and are amazing doctors and people. Thank you guys for always being so good to us

Brought my cat here as well and they died a week later after shots. Banfiled want you on a plan. Which they cram what they can into one visit if you have a plan. If you don't have a plan they will let you come back for other services because you will then pay more. With or without a plan they will up sell you anything they can find to suggest you might want to buy as well. When I started going to Banfield they had like maybe 8 to 10 animal names on the board for the day and actully cared and my pet was given great service. Now its like 30 or more pet on the board each day. They will forget stuff (undersrandably given client load per day) and then try to say you didnt keep up or you forgot. Im not the vet, they are. I dont recommend going to any of these corporate run vets. Don't be fooled that the plan will help you afford it better. You pay monthly and might see them a couple of times a year and they have TOO many clients! If you have serous issues they might refer you to a pet er which won't be covered by your plan. Son even the extra emergency visit might not be covered. Find a local vet and work out an affordable way to help your pet get what they need. Or find a vaccine clinic to get shots and other services for free. My biggest recommendation is, if you cant afford a lot and are worried about your pets care, Banfield is not your best choice.

Banfield veterinary clinics are found inside PetSmart locations. They are owned by Mars Veterinary…read moreHealth. I use Banfield in Concord, NH and have had great experiences there. Especially with Dr. Palladino and our cat, Jessie. Dr. Palladino has been a caring, knowledgeable and authentic-passion-for-animals vet. You see, recently, Jessie developed a cyst on his head at the base of his right ear. Early on, while it was small, Dr P advised watchful waiting as surgical removal in that spot was problematic for healing. Fast forward a year and that ugly cyst had tripled in size and had to come off. Dr Palladino warned that healing would be difficult. You see, in that spot there is little skin to suture together. But we had no choice and she did it flawlessly. Thanks to her skills and a cooperative feline, the cyst is gone and benign. Pets can't communicate very well, but I am confident Jessie would speak well of his caretaker. Her assistants' follow up was timely and thorough. And Dr P's knowledge made us comfortable and confident.
