Well, I have worked with human doctors for years and it would be difficult to tell one of them that they are
not doing a procedure the "right way" even though you have assisted in the same procedure with so many other physicians that do things differently. Many doctors stick with a method that they learned in a text book or may have picked up while doing clinical time with other physicians. After watching so many docs do things differently I could easily see what appeared to work better but would never express an opinion of course. Many things in the medical profession are not so cut and dried as you would think.
I suppose you could ask them to do it the way you think has worked best for your dog. I'd ask the one with the best sense of humor though!
