text: I've been taking my dog to Banfield since she was a puppy and usually have sub-par service. This time, however, I was even more disturbed by my visit. \n\nI had to wait almost 20 minutes until someone came into the room to see my dog and I. The vet tech was friendly, but the veterinarian was a different story. She kept badgering me about getting a wellness plan and hinted that the plan included dental care. When she looked at my dog, she then proceeded to make comments about my dog's teeth and plaque build-up. Clearly a scheme. \n\nThe most disturbing part about the visit was when my dog wouldn't eat the dog biscuit the vet tried to give her. When she wouldn't eat it, the vet proceeded to grab a can of Cheese Whiz (CHEESE WHIZ) off the counter and give my dog a big glob of it. \n\na) The vet did not even ask me if this was okay. Would you go up to someone's infant child and give it candy without asking the mother first? Probably not.\n\nb) I find it incredibly ironic that we're in a pet store surrounded by thousands of different kinds of dog treats, but the vet gives my dog processed human \"food.\" I don't even eat cheese whiz, let alone feed it to my dog!\n\nc) The vet attempted justifying her case when she could tell I was disturbed by this. She said \"Well, dogs eat anything, they even eat out of the trash.\"  and \"It's real cheese.\" wow. Her only valid justification was \"dogs need positive reinforcement after a visit\" which I completely agree with. BUT, you couldn't find a more suitable option for a treat? \n\nAfter speaking with the manager of the store, Brenda, I was told that they use Cheese Whiz as a distraction and treat for dogs because they like it so much. Well, yeah, I'm sure they would like a Whopper and fries too, but clearly that wouldn't be the best option for them. When I asked her if she would recommend Cheese Whiz as a healthy treat for dogs, she said, \"Well, no, but a little bit doesn't hurt.\" \n\nI highly doubt any veterinarian elsewhere would recommend Cheese Whiz as a suitable treat for dogs. \n\nNeedless to say, I am not giving Banfield any more of my service.
