Not recommended!! This is the only veterinary clinic I know of that is actually owned by a huge corporation. They are owned by Mars, Inc.! You can't tell me the CEO of Mars has any idea what makes good medicine. What he does know is that he wants more money. The people who actually work at the Ventura Banfield are great, but they are hamstrung by unreasonable policies and scheduling that is dictated by a corporation that cares nothing about patient care. I would never recommend going to any of the Banfield clinics but definitely not the one in Ventura. They are under-staffed and over-worked! They themselves will often tell you not to come in simply because they already have too many patients to try and take adequate care of. Their staff turnover is astounding because there is no job satisfaction due to the low standard of care. Corners are cut and the patients lose. I wouldn't even recommend them to people with low funds because their prices are pretty comparable to the other vets in town. Trust me, if you saw what went on behind the doors, you would not leave your pet there!! I only give it two starts because the people who work there are wonderful people who do love animals. They just can't help where they work!!
