Dental care is vital to the overall health of any animal. Dental disease leads to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population in Kingston, NY.
Cold Laser is a state-of-the-art alternative therapy to assist with pain and healing. It can be used after surgery to help increase blood flow to local areas, improving healing. It can also be used for chronic pain, helping to increase blood flow to those areas. Ask your pets' veterinarian how your pet would benefit from our Cold Laser Therapy.
While your pets are with us, we will do everything we can to give them an exciting visit. If you are concerned about leaving your pet, please don't hesitate to set up a time to visit our hospital and look around our boarding facility. We will be happy to discuss our boarding policies and answer any questions you may have.
Pet insurance pays, partly or in total, for veterinary treatment of the insured person's ill or injured pet. Some policies will pay out when the pet dies, or if it is lost or stolen. As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pets' health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased.

Took my mother there cause her cat had just got hit by a car and they were the only ones open at the time, and they coldly told her as the cat is bleeding from it mouth and eye that if she didn't have the ridiculous deposit they couldn't treat her cat. Luckily another place was opening up shortly. They took the cat in before they even officially opened and cost less then what this place wanted for their deposit.

I adopted my 10 year old dog at the start of the pandemic. He gets really stressed when he gets taken away from me, because I am his third owner he's had in his life. We were so happy to be able to stay together for a vet appointment for the first time today.
My dog was able to get through his appointment stress free, which was amazing. Dr. Banister and the staff are so kind and reassuring to both me and my dog. Our appointment today moved along on schedule, and we were back home in under an hour with everything we needed for future appointments set up. I will be taking him here for all his needs

It took a week to get back a stool sample on our kitten with diarrhea. It turned out to be a parasite and I learned after a visit with a different office that both kittens should have been treated so as not to reinfect one another. My phone consults felt rushed. Office staff did not seem able to make any general recommendations on what to do for our kitten while the Dr was out of office. Overall I was disappointed in the overall experience and will return to out former office.

They were absolutely awesome!! Our boy Bubba needed to be seen and they fit him into their busy schedule within 24 hours. Other places were charging an extra $100 for an "emergency" visit but couldn't see him for 2 weeks. Dr. Banister was terrific in both listening and understanding & the staff were wonderful!

Doctor Banister is great. Incredibly thorough, smart, kind, explains everything, answers every question. Very knowledgeable staff. Been going there for 20 years. He did a life-saving surgery on my cat this year. He deserves the highest praise as a vet. I fully trust him, and the way he runs his business is with gentle kindness, humour, and extreme care.

I have had many cats and have known many vets, but my experience at Banister Animal Hospital was different. I had to make the decision that every pet owner dreads, and Dr. Banister and his compassionate staff helped us through it. They really care for their “patients” and the families.
Emmy got great medical care from Dr. Bannister in the last years of her life. I feel as though he gave her another year and I will always be grateful.
