Your right k9soul, all the banfields are individually owned and operated. When I called to add casey to their insurance since I put the new pup on their insurance and had been happy with the treatment the person I talked to said the vets were paid well (I had told her my daughter wants to be a vet) she said my daughter could own one of the banfields some day...my dream...free pet healthcare...

I do plan on being a vet tech for my daughter some day when I retire if she does realize her dream of owning her own vet practice.
