[nagdu] Banfield Veterinary Services

[Cindy Ray]

Well, I have used their services. On the plus side, they are pretty thorough, I think. Also, they are open a lot of hours, including Sundays. If I recall, they do call to ask how the dog is doing if you have had a procedure. Lee Johnson at TSE had said to me once that she would be hesitant about using them because often they have young ets with less experience or older ones who are into retirement mode, and these aren't her exact words. I didn't feel I got any less service from them though. Because you never know which vet you will see there, I am not sure I like that aspect. They do have all the information on the computer, so the information is OK, but I'd like to know that I had more of a personal relationship with my vet than that, but that's just me. I went there for about a year when I was angry with my vet, but then I got over it and went back.
