First of all, I just want to say how much I appreciate all of your concerned comments on this matter. I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment, not often one finds such a wonderful group of people, regardless of the venue of the website. I want to thank each and every one of you sincerely.

But, I think things are worse than has been told (about Banfield)....so far !

You all know by now, I'm DEFINITELY going to a new vet. LadyJane has provided me with a resource reasonably close by, and I'm going to give them a shot. (thank you again Dear Lady)

One of the things a new Vet is going to ask, is "what's been done so far" ?

Fortunately, I'm pretty good a keeping records, and have a Folder on each of my guys. SO, I started a file in Excel, inoculations and procedures in the left Column, and the dates done in the horizontal rows. (one for each dog)

Given my "limited" knowledge about Inoculations and the frequency which they are administered, I'm not going to just "blow up" over what I found, but, it seems like there has been several (about six different ones total) given to one of my animals (Male 1yo at the time), a little more than a month or so apart.

Now, I understand that Puppies require subsequent/successive inoculations but I didn't think that an Adult animal required this.

Just to make sure you know what I'm talking about, let me list them.
(understand that before now, I had NO reason to check up on this)
The following shots were given on...

3/10/2009 and 4/7/2009
DHLPPC

9/10/2009 and again on 11/03/2009
Leptospirosis 4-Way
Giardia
Lymes Disease
Corona Virus

11/3/2009 and 12/1/2009
Porphyromonas

Now, I've tried to do a search on IF the above repetitive inoculations are proper, BUT, wow, it's a very confusing issue, and I'm not sure if I'm even "spouting" about this with any foundation. But, I'll say this in my own behalf.

I KNOW that it's pretty obvious that these shots were given, I paid for them. But, I had NO reason to suspect any wrong doing (gouging), and I didn't think I needed or had any reason to check up on them.
So, I trusted Banfield to administer an appropriate Health Care Plan for me.

Right now, I'm feeling pretty foolish in letting this slip by me.....
But if there's anyone from Banfield lurking on this Thread, let me assure you...

I have documents and CCard receipts on EVERYTHING I've said !
And IF there are any problems that arise, because of any mismanagement
of my animals.... God help you !
