I agree with everybody else... obviously. I am a veterinary Technician student and although I am not completely done with school I know this is ridiculous. And THE biggest problem would be putting your dog under anesthesia more than once...It sounds to me that Banfield wants squeeze you dry.
I saw your post and good call on going somewhere else. I will never work for a "chain" vet office, even though I am going into large animal where there isn't as many corporate vets.
BUT for fun I am going to ask my professor (a veterinarian for 50 years) what he thinks about the Banfield vet saying this! I will let you know what he says! And make sure you get those baby teeth out soon before they get infected!
