The vet is not ruining his reputation because he is erroring on the safe side. No harm is done to the puppy and he made money off the meds and the follow up checks.

Why do vest routinely ask for stool samples if there is no sign of illness? My vet doesn't ask for them.

Unless the puppy had diarrhea or some other symptom, why would they check the stool. Especially since they already know that finding them in the stool does not mean that they are infested with them (they could be carriers) and also NOT finding them in the stool does not mean that they don't have them.
Are you a vet to give that advice?
