 Should I change my vet?
I have a dilemma. My baby yorkie girl, Aggie, arrived a couple weeks ago (12/26). Her breeder had been feeding her Pedigree and she arrived with a small bag of it. I was hesitant about buying her food. So, I waited until next day when she visited a vet.
The hospital has great reputation in the area. They have wide variety of vets and specialist, also very well equipped. I selected a doctor who was available that day and compared to another vet, the receptionist said this one was better.
I asked her about the food Aggie's been eating. She told me Pedigree was "excellent". So, I bought a big bag of it.
Today, I went to a pet supply store to buy some toys. There was a sales rep who told me "Pedigree is like fast-food for dogs! Unhealthy!" He then went on and told me a whole list of brands that were "much better". I didn't buy anything but was disturbed. I came back home and checked this site. What he said was true! I was shocked. Next thing, I went back to the store and bought Natural Balance.
Question is: should I change my vet? I'm shocked to know she had given me wrong information. Why would she tell me Pedigree was great when it wasn't? So far, there's no bond between Aggie and the vet. I guess I can always find another vet from the hospital (I've asked, it's quite all right to do that).
What should I do?? |
