A pet that looks healthy to an owner is not necessarily a truly healthy pet. Avoiding vet visits on those grounds is not okay.
Vaccine clinics have their place; however, they should not replace a client/pet/vet relationship. Building a relationship with a vet for when something goes wrong is extremely important. You can tell your friend not to expect any favors (like payment plans) if they wait until something is very wrong to provide vet care like they should.
Roundworms can cause blindness in children and hookworms can cause skin issues. Heartworm can kill dogs. I certainly hope these tests aren't being skipped.
After a one year booster, no dog should get DHPP annually. A vet that does this is apparently not caring much about what the AAHA and AVMA have to say which is a bad thing.
