PR and I, own the local Veterinary clinic and Pet Center. We need a new DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine). Preferably, one who is not a flaming lefty. The one we have is nearing retirement and should be gone soon. (We hope)

That leaves you about 3% of the DVMs in Hawaii to choose from, right?
The Vets where I go are all conservative. One is a Republican in the County government. The other is an Air Force veteran that was in Desert Storm. The rules are mostly made by the State of TN when it comes to prescribing meds. State law says dogs have to get the rabies vax. I had dogs die from parvo and distemper because Dad wouldn’t get them vaccinated so mine get those. The vets don’t like giving OTC HW prevention because so many won’t get their dogs tested. I understand that. They don’t fuss at me because they have known me for 30 years and know that mine get tested.
I take chances not getting myself vaccinated but I don’t take chances with my dogs. I don’t think veterinarians are as crooked as human doctors and meds. Still, mine don’t get the monthly flea/tick or HW chews because of the different chemicals in them that cause upset. One of mine has IBS and all of them get pukey if they take that stuff. I give the pure IVM and they don’t have troubles like that.
