They could always start their own practice or work somewhere else. Just like we have the right to make a choice so do they
I understand where you are coming from, but it's not that easy. And there are a lot of places who have set protocols and the vets employed there have to follow them. If they can't get a job at a place that doesn't do this (and almost all seem to), then they can start their own practice. But that is next to impossible in this economy.

It's always nice to give them the benefit of the doubt and ask them if they wiill change protocol. Just maybe they can't say they will unless you bring it up. The same goes for surgical protocol. Some offices don't offer preop bloodwork and recommending it may stir things up, so vets could stay quiet. If client asks, they may be able to do it and actually agree with client.
