Banfield Pet Hospital

Banfield The Pet Hospital™ partnered with Pet Smart in order to provide convenient veterinary services in-store to their shoppers. This was a pet marriage made in heaven since multitudes of pet owners already knew and trusted Petsmart™, it was just a natural move to using the veterinary services on board. Banfield Pet Hospital has never looked back since starting the partnership. They are responsible for the semi-famous petsmart pet insurance, which they call the Optimum Wellness Plan.

Petsmart Adoption Programs

Upon entering the Local Petsmart, you'll usually find a showcase of cats for adoption to the left, in the typical store layout. We've always thought that cats were their 'thing" until the day we decided to ask "why no dogs"? It turns out that they do have dogs but these only come out on the weekends, their busiest periods. Smart move if you ask us. Believe it or not, in some markets they even have rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and the occasional ferret.
