I feel very fortunate here in upstate New York...the only corporate vet office I see is Banfield at PetSmart and most people around here don't like them.

I know it's expensive but I don't feel unjustly so...the equipment and staff to take care of our babies is pretty expensive to set up and to stay up to date it doesn't ever get cheaper for the vets.

Euthanize a beloved pet over lack of current funds, not at my vets.
I dread the day that I see the corporate world take over our local vets.
