I was hoping I'd see some input here, since I'll need to find a new vet in NC very shortly. Of course I won't need one right away, but I'd like to have one lined up for when Wolf Man needs one. I believe my niece goes to a Banfield facility at her local Petsmart too - and from what she's told me of the outrageous charges she has paid for her Pug and his allergies, then I plan to stay away from them if possible. I'd love to find a vet down there like I have here - private practice with one vet - no fancy office with all the fancy trimmings - just a no nonsense old fashioned type of vet practice, yet one very up to date with all of the newest info available. Leaving Dr Annie is one thing I'll really miss about moving.
