Have the wellness plan for three years and never had a single issue. Get all her shots done..medication refills..annual exam including blood work at a reasonable price. For me its easier to pay a small amount monthly instead of large bills a few times a year, Thr Vets have always been nice to me and my dog..No complaints. It is a vet office and can be very busy. Most are. I do not use the drop off service so i make my appointments after each visit months in advance to avoid having to wait fir an appointment. Front desk girls are great. If they are busy..I leave a message and have always been called back in a timely manner. After three years we are still happy with them read more

UPDATE: I'm no longer taking my dog here, and I don't recommend it to anyone. It turns out the doctors are not as nice as they initially seemed. At my last visit here, Dr. C was outright nasty to me and cold toward my dog. My rescue is terrified of vets, and I guess the doctors here got it in their heads that because they don't know what to do, this must be the owner's fault. The last time I went there, Dr. C. came into the room already fuming as if I'd offended her by bringing my dog here for his annual exam. I was shocked. She implied that my dog had problems he doesn't have, such as food aggression. Another doctor here once said with authority that my dog was reactive with them because he was "guarding" ME. They even wrote in the notes that he's "fractious around mom," which is not true at all. They've tried taking him in the back and it doesn't help. He's terrified of the VET. He is not like this at home. Full stop. Dr. C. apparently drew on her lack of knowledge about this to tell me unequivocally that he's like this because I'm "too soft." She said they "see it all the time" at Banfield Princeton, which doesn't surprise me, because if you're going to make this assumption about every owner whose dog is afraid of you, you're going to "see" this problem everywhere. The doctors here seem to never read the notes, so they implied almost every time I went there that I hadn't taken my dog to training, which couldn't be more false. In fact, I've seen several trainers, both in classes and one-on-one. I've read extensively about conditioning via positive reinforcement, and I interact regularly with behaviorists online. Of course, I'm not perfect. I'll continue to look for ways to make this easier for the vets, and for my dog! I don't want him to suffer like this. It was awful for me to sit there being belittled by this doctor while my baby was going through this traumatic experience. I just wanted to help him and comfort him. What disappoints me most is that I thought we were all on the same page. Until Dr. C. walked in with eyes squinted in hatred I thought we were all trying to help my dog. I could see how much she despised both of us. It was disturbing. I tried to give feedback to Banfield, but they said it will just go back to the doctor in charge at this hospital, and I think this attitude is pervasive there. I managed to find a Fear Free vet, so I'm going to take my dog there instead. That vet, who did specific training in dealing with this kind of fear, confirmed that this is not being caused by anything that I'm doing. My dog is likely afraid of the vet because of experiences he had before I adopted him as an adult dog. This is what the trainers and his previous doctor said, so Dr. C. and her colleagues are definitely in the minority. Although my dog was afraid of his previous vet, they had a matter-of-fact approach to dealing with this. I don't know how Banfield Princeton got it in their heads to blame the owners for this, but it's not helpful. There's plenty of (free!) information available online for vets looking to assuage vet-averse animals. Some of the recommendations would be very easy and cheap to adopt. For example, just putting a mat on the exam table can make a big difference, because dogs are afraid of walking on shiny surfaces. I also want to note that the communication problems I noted in my previous review persist. More than once, I had to drive there because they don't pick up the phone. On multiple occasions, I would get there, still on hold, and find someone sitting at the desk free to help. They say every time that they "think" there's an issue with the phones. Well, I can confirm that you definitely have an issue, so maybe can go ahead and look into it. I don't recommend this place even if your pet is not fearful at the vet. I always felt that they were ignoring questions about my dog's health, and they never followed up about previous medical care unless I specifically asked about it. This is a corporate machine, and they don't seem interested in doing anything that would slow them down. Just getting refills for medication was a big hassle. At this last visit, Dr. C would not even give me a refill for my dog's preventative heartworm medication because I had not done a fecal test that day (it wasn't yet due). I hope for the sake of the animals under their care that they see this feedback and use it to improve this place. read more

My family has been bringing our dog to the Banfield in Princeton for many years now and I'm so glad we do. The staff is always so helpful and Dr Z is the best! He always spends as much time with us as we need and explains things to us in detail. Charlie (our pet) loves him too. He is very gentle and caring and patient. I can't imagine using anyone else. I highly recommend Banfield and Dr Z. read more

After 3 visits taking my niece's dog to Banfield I have come to the conclusion that Vets are rock stars..... They certainly get paid as such. Banfield is very clean and efficient at check in as the young ladies that attend to the front desk are always very polite and helpful. Pets are separated and well taken care of but at these prices there had better be a spa with a masseuse back there... read more

Banfield is horrible. if you join the monthly plan and your pet dies or you no longer need the service (you move, pet gets lost, give the pet away, etc.) Banfield continues to charge you for a year. if you cancel with your credit card company, they will do everything possible to destroy your credit rating. Banfield is horrible. And they injured my dog while she was there because of their unqualifed inexperienced staff. My dog died a short time later, and they made me pay for a whole year before getting my credit rating knocked down 100 points. there is a special place in Hell for everyone that works at this evil company. read more

We have been going to Banfield Pet Hospital in Princeton for a couple of years now and used to be very satisfied with their services. We have had our pug's teeth cleaned twice there and were happy with the communication and service. Lately their communication is horrible, they are impossible to get on the phone. We brought our 10 year old pug in for a rabies shot and check up on March 2nd. WE made this appointment IN PERSON because we could not get them to answer the phone and the online services only said "call to make an appointment". They insisted that we drop him off at 8:30 and leave him there until around 3 for pick up our to Covid regulations. They made it seem like dropping him off was the only option. Our pug started developing a terrible wheezing cough on Friday March 11th. We called them on Monday because it sounded like Kennel Cough. After multiple attempts to get another appointment we made one for March 17. I mentioned that he was not around other dogs and he definitely got the cough from being at the vet's office too long. She replied, "well you can't drop him off for this appointment because he has a cough" IRONIC. They gave him cough drops and swabbed his throat for testing. They originally said results would take a couple days but a week later we hadn't heard back and once again could NOT get them on the phone. I called on March 26th and left a message that they did not return. Finally got them on the phone a couple days later and they said that the doctor that ran the tests was not in the office but another person looked at the results and said that he is positive for Kennel Cough and we could pick up antibiotics. 3 WEEKS LATER. They never once called me, we would probably still be waiting for a call and still have a sick dog who got SICK at the VET. What is happening at this office? This is negligence. read more

I always used Banfield Hamilton for both my pets, but this time due to lack of surgery appointments we had to book an appointment at Princeton location. My 9 month old puppy had castration done yesterday. First off all the person at the front desk is not friendly at all. and then they send my dog with a small cone around his neck, because of which he was able to reach the incision and lick it. I called today to ask them to give me one size bigger cone then they ask me to bring the puppy to size him. why they have to size him again, first of all you gave a wrong size cone and now again they want me to bring him when he is in pain. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars - I would! So glad we chose the doctors at Banfield (Dr. Z and Dr. McPeek) as our veterinarians for our two pups! I have tried every vet hospital in the area and once I found them, I never looked elsewhere again. We also have both pups on the plan and have had nothing but good experiences with it. I could really go on and on about them but will try and keep it short! :) The guys and gals on staff are incredibly friendly, sweet and helpful. I feel like I am always calling to get an appointment for my frenchie who always needs a checkup for something or another and they always fit him in! Dr. Z. and Dr. McPeek are absolutely wonderful!! They are both wonderful wonderful doctors. For starters, I really feel like they treat our pups as they would their own. They always always give my guys a thorough examination and give them more than enough attention. I never feel as if I am being rushed out of there and I am in there often with the frenchie! All my questions are always answered (and I often have a lot!) :) My husband and I absolutely love them and are so happy we have them to look after our boys when they need it. We would not trust anyone else with them! read more

Banfield Pet Hospital - Milton & Ralphie - Veterinarians Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Banfield in Princeton is providing excellent veterinary service. I left recently feeling insecure about a diagnosis for my pug. Dr. Z returned my phone call promptly and provided the necessary information in layman terms so that I was able to make informed decisions. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and neighbors. Thank you Dr. Z!! read more

One of the best pet hospital staffs anywhere... When my girlfriend and myself got two puppies back in December of 2012 my girlfriend searched some vets and found Banfield and there wellness programs... You can drop your dog off for an appointment in the morning and pick it up at your convenience just as long as the vet is not closed. So far today we have savued over $2,000 in vet fees for both our pets and they are both in good health... Dr. Corey Z. and his staff are the most nicest people you can meet... read more

I tell all of my friends and family that we have the best vets, Dr. Z. and Dr. McPeek. Since Banfield has opened at 111 Nassau Rd in Princeton, we have had all of our pets taken care of by this group. Our dogs black lab, Miss Angel and our husky, Neeko; our cats Merry, Pippin, Mr. Darcy, Piratessa and Peaches. They take the time to listen to what our concerns are and then give each pet a thorough examination. They honestly tell us what their findings are and what our options are for treatment. The front desk staff is wonderful. They always greet us with a smile and kind words. They remember our names and talk to our pets. The technicians are caring and gentle with the pets. Any time I have called and needed an appointment at the last minute for something urgent they found an appointment for me. Scheduling is easy. I really like the pet care plans that are offered because they include the services I want and need for my pets at a yearly price which can be budgeted easily. They are the most caring and friendly group of people I have ever met. We have brought in our pets that are all different ages (kittens to 15 year old dogs) and Dr. Z. and Dr. McPeek have helped us through all kinds of issues due to the age differences. We cannot thank them enough for their professional and heartfelt way of helping us through the passing of Miss Angel and Pippin. This group of people are like family to us. Quality pet care in a caring environment. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I'm sticking with this Banfield! read more

See all

Not sure if they know what they are doing there. I've taken my dog there many times and she still has the same issues. Will be looking for another vet. Update: Found another vet and they diagnose the issue fast. Skin scrape came up positive. Banfield did the same test 3 months ago and it came up negative. They kept guessing and giving medicine on a hunch. Stay away from this place! read more

We have been going to Banfield since our dogs were pups and have been very satisfied with the services provided. Our dogs are on wellness plans which works well for us. While everyone we've dealt with there is excellent, in particular Fallon with the front desk staff and Dr Z. stand out. Fallon is professional, welcoming and always greets me by name. I know things will go smoothly when she's there. And Dr Z is the best. When one of my dogs was hit by a car, he saved his life. He stabilized him (and us!) and sent us to a 24 hr facility. He sent over the X-rays and the vet there was impressed that Dr Z was able to get such great shots that no new X-rays were necessary. We won't be going to Banfield Princeton anymore because we're moving but will go to the Banfield in Coral Gables, Fl. While I expect our dogs will get the same quality care there, I will miss the staff in Princeton. read more

The clinic never has an appointment available after a 3 - 4 weeks timeline. We are constantly asked to call for another clinic. Let us cancel the insurance is the best choice. read more

Unfortunately, Dr McPeek has left and now overtime I go, there's a different vet there. Although they are friendly, I find it difficult to get an appt for teeth cleaning (took 3 months) and very difficult to get refills on meds! They continually try to deny my refill and ask to see her for a visit (this is allergy meds she's taken for 10 years). Considering a new vet that is more accomodating. read more

I have been with Bandfield since my corgi Savannah was 8 weeks old. I put her on the wellness plan and she still has it to this day. She will be 3 in January. I have been to 2 locations in the past which have been so good to Savannah and I, 1 being the Rockaway NJ location and the 2nd one being the East Hanover NJ location. Nothing bad to say about those 2 locations. However, after relocating to central Jersey and wanting to go to a new location due to it being 8 mins from my house. The Princeton NJ location was the decision. I have had to change her comprehensive exam 3 times due to that location not letting me know at the time of me making the appointment about (not taking in room services on a Saturday, or having surgeries ). To make a long story short, I had to change Savannah's appointment again (today) which was scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday) at 4 pm. I called to confirm her appt time and the woman tells me once again that there are not in room service on Saturday(s). I mentioned to her when I spoke to the guy 3 weeks ago he asked me "drop off" or in room and I told him "in room". She proceeds to tell me " well it's a longer time for in room and we have other animals to tend to". The fact that she proceeds to tell me this disappointed me to a point where I changed my home location to East Brunswick NJ Bandfield. They put me on the schedule for today with no problem. I mentioned to the lady there (East Brunswick location) about what I just experienced at Princeton and she apologized for them (which Princeton did not apologize) All I have to say is Bandfield Pet Hospital is a great hospital. However, the Princeton location is the most unprofessional location I have been to. Learn to accommodate your clients before you start losing clientele. read more

This vet couldn't be better any more! Nice staff and nice Dr. Dr. Z is the doctor for my two tabby cats, who is proficient, kind and patient. I would tell all my friends to take their pets to Banfield Hospital. read more

I work for a veterinarian elsewhere in the state. I called simply to obtain the fax number for this location to send up a prescription for our customer to obtain her dog's medicated food. I hung up after being put on hold for 15 minutes by a quick-speaking receptionist who said "is this an emergency or can you hold?". Then I tried calling the PetSmart store associated with this hospital, and was similarly not provided with the number, being told "You should call them". I tried, sweetheart, that's why I'm now talking to you... Get it together, Banfield. Your customers don't deserve this. read more

If I could give them less starts I Louwould have Very very unprofessional they used the wrong medication on my cat for her dental and then told me not to worry about it. She walked out with a bandage I on her foot and that's fine got her home took her out of the carriera d she is limping bad and she wasnt when I brought her in. Also the doctor called me and told me that she had lumps on her belly and that they wanted to biopsy it but 300 later they say if they puncture it that it was could leak in to her body and possibly kill her told the. I would have to talk about it to my partner and I will call you back in 5 min so I call back and they say oh sorry they went out to lunch like you knew I was calling back this could be serious but yet your dont seem to take it seriously . This does not make me feel comfortable and confident that they know what they are doing. Doctors are always leaving the the staff is leaving very high turn over rate. I go every months for a checkup and never see the same face. One day I was in there and herd and awful scream I knew right away it was my baby I got up to the door and not only was she upset and crying they were mistreating slamming her on the table pulling her legs hard screaming at her to stop. I have also witnessed them sitting on dogs that they cannot control THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE and just plan wrong very dissatisfied will not be going back there again read more

Not happy at all. The first appointment they kept us waiting for over 45 minutes. The second appointment was over an hour. they keep charging us but don't seem to do all that much. They are trying to get us to sign up for their "Plan" but keep charging us for each visit and doing nothing I think we are done. read more

My dog is an established patient at this clinic and received an injury to his ear over the weekend. We called to see if anyone could see him and were told "We're full today. And tomorrow. Try somewhere else." My husband called again the next day and got the exact same response- full today and tomorrow, try somewhere else. If there is no policy allowing the addition of emergent cases, there certainly should be. We complained to corporate and received no response. We have taken the advice and gone elsewhere. read more
