If you've ever had a dog in your arms fighting for its life and needing the vet to put routine matters like dentals aside then maybe you would see it differently. I have been on both sides of this issue - waiting while other dogs with greater needs were treated first - and with a half alive dog in my arms fighting for its life. I'd gladly wait or have my dog sit in a cage if it meant that someone else's pet having an emergency got the care it needed.
