In years past I would probably not have had what you consider a good vet reference unless you spoke to my cousin who was our vet but moved to another part of the country. We always had large breed dogs and I gave the immunizations myself after being shown. I don't use regular heart worm meds either due to what he taught me to use. When you have horses and dogs you quickly figure out that it is much more cost effective and quite easy to do most things yourself with training. They only went to the vet for a check up or if something was wrong or needed like spay & neuter. I will admit though I am not as bold with these lil guys when it comes to their shots, I don't do them myself but I still pre-treat with Benadryl before we head to the doc's and will stay on a 3 year protocol.
How would you judge someone interested in your dogs with that background? I just hate paying someone to do something I can do myself lol. I still change my own oil too
