Banfield Pet Hospitals

Banfield Pet Hospitals, established in 1955, is a provider of veterinary services with a network of more than 1,000 hospitals in over 40 states. The company provides a range of veterinary services such as vaccinations, parasite control, dental care, nutrition, etc., along with a twice-a-year physical examination. In June 2019, the Banfield Pet Hospitals network launched a telehealth service called Vet Chat, marking the first appearance of a major pet retailer in the on-demand veterinary service industry. The new service offers on-demand access to pet care advice for its Optimum Wellness Plan clients. Banfield’s telemedicine app was developed by Ask.Vet, a company that provides veterinary telemedicine services.
