Banfield Pet Hospital — Beverly

Banfield Pet Hospital — Beverly

A Banfield clinic inside the PetSmart at 9529 S Western Ave, near 95th and Western. Banfield is a national chain owned by Mars, not an independent neighborhood practice — but on the Far South Side, where full-service vets are thin on the ground, it fills a real gap.

Hours (from Banfield's own location page)

• Monday–Saturday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
• Sunday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Open Sundays. That is the thing worth knowing. Most Chicago general practices are closed Sunday entirely, which means a weekend problem becomes an emergency-room problem. This one is not an ER, but for a Sunday nail trim, vaccine, or a look at something that can wait until Monday but you would rather it did not, it is an option.

On the Optimum Wellness Plans: Banfield sells monthly wellness subscriptions covering exams, vaccines, and routine diagnostics. They are contracts, typically 12 months, and they do not cover illness or injury — they are prepaid preventive care, not insurance. Read what is included before enrolling, and be clear on the cancellation terms.

Getting there: inside the PetSmart at 95th and Western, with the strip mall's own lot. Easy by car, less so without one.
