Is that the one Banefield sends people to for emergencies?

Don't know. Never been to Banfield.
We did go there for an emergency visit.

Had a person who is a vet that I ran into by happenstance tell me that it is a tumor and most likely cancerous growing on the bottom of my dog's foot, right behind his large pad. I'm looking for someone who will remove it without doing all the other blood work and crap. I just want it off. Any recommendations with this updated info?

I don't know of any vet that will actually do any sort of surgery without running bloodwork, especially considering your pup is an older dog. They have to cover their butts, and need to make sure you understand that past a certain age, anesthesia is riskier for a pet.

I'll waive anything if I have to. I'm sorry for the dog lovers out there, but it's actually just a dog to me. I don't want him to suffer, but I'm not about to put my family in further debt because of an animal.

companvet.com in Centennial. Hands down the best vets in CO.

PSA: If you're not able to take care of an animal, please don't bring an animal under your roof.

Same recommendation I made before. Western Animal Clinic. They've always been willing to forego testing with an educated discussion of risks/benefits. Calvin is going in on Monday for two procedures; getting neutered and a gastropexy (where they tack his stomach down to prevent torsion/bloat). About $350 total, no labs. Other quotes were $1200.

as I pointed out I'm looking to get this growth removed and I'm not looking for the animal to suffer. My dogs live better than a great part of the population. That being said I'm not, nor will I ever, treat my dog as if he is anything other than an animal. Prices for vets in this state have sky rocketed because people treat their animals like people and those that sell those services have taken advantage of that. Taking care of a dog will not be something I max out a credit card for which I see so many people do. Your idea of taking care of an animal is clearly different than mine. Don't accuse me of not taking care of animal just because it isn't to your standards.
