Banfield Pet Hospital

And the one thing that I love about Peel when you watch them is they actually start a lot of the attack from the defense.

So when you talk about Draper, Banfield, all of those guys, they're just so classy and so smooth that I actually think it helps them a little bit if it is a, if it is a hot and sunny, beautiful day.

Yeah.

No, you're not wrong there.

This grant is ultimately what allows them to offer the discounted prices, and it also helps fund salaries for the staff.

This clinic is not a PetSmart/Banfield or even part of a corporation as far as I'm aware.

It offers low-cost spay/neuter vaccine clinics, core procedures, as well as a low-cost GP.

All of this is done with a surprising amount of quality care.

I was a regional partner in, uh, Washington and Oregon, um, as well as spent some time in Colorado there.

Um, did that for a decade-plus, and then prior to that I worked for Banfield Pet Hospital, um, as a field director in Arizona, overseeing veterinary hospitals and working in that market and helping that business, uh, grow and support those clinicians.

Thank you.

Got it.

But that's another thing that can make a dog very sick.

But when we take our dogs in, we go to Banfield, which is part of PetSmart, and you have all of the confidence in it of like going to a Starbucks that's in a Target.

It just feels like an afterthought.

And all the vets appear to be about 15, 16 years old.

So we went to South Florida at that point.

I did end up working for a Banfield.

Intention there was just to get some small animal experience and to try to start paying back loans.

And that worked for a while.

But while it lasted, it was it was pretty good.

Cool.

So how long were you in that Banfield practice?

Two years or so.

Nil-nil.

Banfield versus River Plate.

River Plate win 3-2.

Argentinos Juniors versus Aldo Sibi.

Angel Correa...

I thought pretty clearly the man of the match.

A couple of slightly silly defensive errors a bit later on to let Banfield into it, but for the most part, even though...

An

And as I was telling you offline, the biggest concern is Mars Candy Bar, the candy bar company Mars and Nestle and then Colgate Palmolive, they own the brunt of all of the kibble.

And then add insult to injury, Mars then has bought all of the Banfield hospitals, the VCA hospitals, and then the Blue Pearl Hospital.

So Mars owns majority of the hospitals that then the animals are going to after they're eating their kibble.

So you're giving the poison, but then also saying, hey, come here and I'll take your money from the ailment side and I'll give you all the meds and prescriptions because we feed him all human grade food and we don't even go in the pet aisle at all.

And I love that he's a small mom and pop shop.

You could tell he really loves animals.

So I decided to go to Banfield, which...

At that time, I didn't know it was owned by Mars.
