I have a love/hate relationship with Banfield. They are very convenient--much less expensive than Dove Lewis but open on Saturdays and Sundays and later during the day with no appointments, you can get your animal in to see someone (our other vet requires hard-to-get appointments) as long as you are willing to wait. We have used Banfield as our backup vet for a few years now. They are always very caring and I think they've done well by our animals for the most part -- I have, on occasion, felt that they were more concerned about their bottom line than my pet's but that has only happened a few times. We've recently had to euthanize two pets there -- one an out-of-town friend's who received amazing care, the other our own -- my husband (who took our dog) felt very supported and cared for.
