I know this anecdote is very unique, but my wife found a tiny puppy that was incredibly sick. Everywhere we knew of was closed, except for Banfield. The tech who took him back told us that all of the health conditions they could identify were easily treatable, but very expensive. They later called us to pick up the puppy and confirmed that everything was treatable but would cost hundreds of dollars. She gave us some recommendations for food and care, told us to go buy those items, and then meet her in the parking lot in half an hour when she gets off work; she’d give us advice on where to find cheap medicine. When we met her in the parking lot, she gave us a paper bag filled with all the medicines we’d need. We asked how we should pay for them, and she said, “fuck this place, I stole them. You can pay for the medications by never bringing another pet to Banfield.”
What do they actually cover?
Hang nails
Because of the first and last lines, nothing is covered. Pre-existing condition is code for “we will deny you coverage when we feel like it”.
Terrorism acts, unless OP cropped it out
No that’s their full list. I didn’t continue the screenshot down the page as I didn’t want to be an unwitting advertisement for them.
I appreciate not wanting to promote them, but could you name them so we know who to avoid? Or at least DM me.
according to my friends in the vet world, Banfield. Anything owned by Banfield.
Ugh, I already had a run-in with them. They are on my permanent shit list.
Yes. This times a kazillon.
Stay FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR away from anything Banfield.

Conventional war only. JDAMs and such. 3 hellfire missile strikes cap per year. Mustard gas and anthrax. Cyber warfare.
New conditions or illnesses. That’s why it’s best to get it when your pet is young. Learned that one the hard way.
Not nuclear war, that’s for sure.
Or cloning. What sorta outfit is this anyway?
Usually routine visits and emergencies. But there’s typically an age cutoff to enroll a pet
Routine visits are not covered per the last point, no?
I definitely missed that one
