What makes your friend think her dog is any less deserving of medical care than a person is? I'll bet she goes to the doctor for check-ups or when she doesn't feel well and a dog is just as needful of check-ups and preventative care as a human. I cannot imagine not taking my Tibbe in for his regular vet care!!! I just could not live with myself if I cared no more for my pet than that. She is not a caring or responsible pet owner if she is only doing part of the due diligence required. I sure do hope she comes to think more of her little Yorkie than she does now.
