What happens when you cancel
Effect on future billing
Cancellation should stop future recurring payments; however, timing may vary by plan and billing cycle.
Some customers report being billed after attempted cancellations - retain confirmation as proof if this occurs.
Access to plan benefits
Benefits may end immediately or at the end of the paid period depending on your contract terms.
Review your plan terms or ask customer support whether benefits continue until the next renewal date.
Account data and records
Banfield retains medical records and account information per its policies. Request copies of clinical records if needed.
Keep copies of all cancellation communications, receipts, and confirmation numbers for disputes.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Relevant law and precedent
Nigerian courts have ruled that blanket "no refund" policies can be illegal and void when they conflict with statutory consumer protections.
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 supports consumer rights against unfair contract terms.
Practical steps if you have a dispute
- Assert that refund and cancellation terms should not contravene statutory rights in Nigeria.
- If Banfield transactions originate outside Nigeria, still keep local consumer protection authorities informed and seek advice.
Where to get help locally
Document your case and contact a Nigerian consumer protection body or legal adviser if you face unlawful refusal of refunds.
See reporting examples and commentary at coverage on the issue.
Customer experiences
Positive experiences
Some customers report Banfield made preventive care affordable and that veterinarians provided extended, meaningful care in difficult cases.
These positive anecdotes highlight accessible care through wellness plans for some pet owners.
Negative experiences
Many complaints focus on difficulty canceling wellness plans, perceived unexpected billing, and challenges after a pet’s death.
Trustpilot and forum posts frequently cite customer service and billing as recurrent concerns.
Takeaway
- Experiences vary widely; proactive documentation and confirming cancellation helps reduce risk.
- If you encounter unresolved billing, escalate with written evidence and consider consumer protection channels.
Documentation checklist
Required account details
- MyBanfield account email or username and full account name.
- Plan name (e.g., Optimum Wellness Plan) and any plan ID visible in your account.
Proofs and supporting documents
- Billing statements or bank/credit card transaction showing recurring charges.
- Invoices, order numbers, delivery confirmations, and photos for damaged items.
- Correspondence: screenshots or copies of emails, chat transcripts, and confirmation numbers.
- If relevant, proof of pet’s death (vet note) when disputing posthumous charges.
Common mistakes
Assuming cancellation is immediate
Some people assume clicking cancel stops all charges immediately; in some cases benefits or billing continue through the paid period.
Always request and keep a written confirmation showing effective cancellation date.
Missing AutoShip deadlines
Not cancelling AutoShip at least three days before the next shipment can result in an unwanted shipment and charge.
Check shipment schedules and cancel earlier to be safe.
Poor documentation
Failing to save emails, call logs, and screenshots reduces your leverage in disputes.
Record names, dates, and reference numbers for every contact with Banfield or third-party services.
Comparative recap
Summary table
| Method | Ease | Refund likelihood | Timing | Notes |
