Banfield Pet Hospital

My daughters and i are traumatized with the death of my baby Vida. She died on April 19.

Vida was a healthy dog always. i took such a good care of her, she was my daughter.Banfield twice killed my dog along with CARE ( the ambulance place that denied to help transport Vida to Emergency Hospital. Vida on April 13 woke up very happy as always, and did go for a walk with my daughter. She came back drank her water and immediately started vomiting grass.

And,afterwards, she continues to vomit grass and did not stop. We decided to take her to Banfield Hospital in Largo, Florida,and when i got there, i told the veterinarian that my dog had eaten something poison on the grass or the grass itself was poisoned. She took Vida inside by herself and took hours to call me back. when the vet called me she said that Vida has no signs of anything major happening to her,she looked fine and she disregard about what i said about the poisoning, she was sure Vida had stomach flu,and she prescribed medications for that.

Vida started not eating too much,not drinking to much either. Vida started not looking. My daughter was telling me she was not walking too much either. Two days before her death, she was vomiting the pills as well.

and stoped completely drinling water,eating, walking. On sunday morning, we had to take her to Banfield Clearwater,florida, when we got there the veterinarian told us that he could not give her an oxygen because he did not have the one for he, and at this time she was in need of that so badly, she was difficult breathing. And, told us to find another place to take our dog since in that Banfield they would not. we were crying, scared to loose our baby.we had to make calls and time was passing and Vida did not have any treatment.

When we finally got a place .called CARE in Clearwater and they have an ambulance to transport VIDA they disservice us. So banfield Clearwater, again came to us and told us to put our dog back in our car and drive to to an emergency hospital which was about 20 minutes away with my dog totally i need of car and of course in my car without the car and far away she would die. when we got to the emergency hospital, 10 minutes later the vet came outside and gave us the horrible news that my dog had died. i hate Banfield!

I agreed it should close for stopping killing our dogs! for Banfield dogs are just about money, and they dont know that our dogs are member of our family and they deserve that right treatment like any human being.

I will never forget that horrible situation, my daughters are disabled and are having PTDS constantly because what they experienced in the last moments with our VIDA. Here is my contact claudiamarques@***.com.
