Our veterinary science approach

At Banfield, we combine the power of our data and the insights of our Associates to establish evidence-based standards that set veterinary teams up for success while allowing them space to apply their own knowledge when practicing preventive medicine.

We strive to improve the quality of veterinary care and patient outcomes across veterinary medicine. We are grateful to the thousands of Banfield Associates who diligently record their observations at every appointment in our electronic medical records system, contributing to an ever-growing collection of medical data based on the millions of pets we see each year.

Banfield Pet Hospital®, a member of the Mars Veterinary Health family of practices, is the leading provider of preventive veterinary care in the United States.

With more than 1,000 hospitals in 42 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Mexico, we are in a unique position to harness the power of data and share research, best practices, and evidence-based guidance for the veterinary profession.

Together with Mars, we strive to live our purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.
