The vet at the Petsmart where I work is a clean, nice man who's family bred GSDs many years ago. He is fun to talk to and joke with, but I have never used his services on my dogs, and I get a free plan with a discount on services. I don't care to take my dogs there. The vet often makes remarks about the practice as being Banfield, not his. I'm sure they have tight reigns over him. It's just not the place for me. The two nights per week that are wellness clinics for shots, with no office fee are popular.
