I will tell you something that I thought was appalling that I ran into Memorial Day. My son has a Min Pin and we had to take her to emergency care since the regular vet was closed and she seemed to be running a fever and ill and we didn't know why. I was filling out the papers (My son just graduted from high school last week so he still lives at home) and one question was:

Check one:
1: I want the best care available
2: I want the best care available but I have financial considerations
3: I would like minimal care for my animal


Doesn't everyone want the best care and doesn't everyone NO MATTER how much money they have have financial considerations??? I don't want anything unnecessary done but I don't want my pet to die either. Maybe it's just me, the question was like WOW! I get the business end of it but....

I haven't lived in this town long but I think I will look and see if there is another emergency place.
Wow. I get the business side too, but it's so demoralizing to see it in black and white when you're talking about life, death, and health care.

Imagine if you were at a Pedatric clinic and one of the choices was:

3. I would like minimal care for my child
