you may think smartpuppiepets is being naive, but in my opinion you are being naive and cynical.
maybe your vet should ask for them. you might be surprised. not every vet is out for money. your opinion comes off as telling people they shouldn't listen to their vets or that their vets are wrong. in my opinion that is wrong. |
Thanks for your post. It is not good when people try to discourage pet owners from taking their vets seriously. And also i think most pet owners are not educated about how vets are also trained to keep "the humans" safe from "zoonotic" diseases. Some worms can cause great harm to humans. you are very right.
