There are good veterinarians and there are hacks, just as in any profession. Watch how he or she interacts with your dog and if it’s not good then leave, go find a good one who gives a damn and to whom your dog reacts positively, that’s the best suggestion I can make. Dogs are exceedingly good judges of character and that extends to veterinarians.
I have dealt with both over the years also. But it really upsets me when they claim to care about your animal and then you find out they could care less as long as they can try and get you in there every month for some BS reason.
This latest experience has me wanting to get an attorney and sue the crap out of her for animal abuse and neglect just to make a buck. She does not belong in this profession. She made the Dog worse on purpose to rack up a bill that should not have been.
