But many of us will/do. The problem is sometimes, we don't know what to do, or ask for.
I seem to have gone from one end of the spectrum, with a vet with my last yorkie, who was all about money/billing and would try to sell you everything under the sun....to a different vet with ZoE, who doesn't push anything on you. She had a BAT done at around 6 months. Had bloodwork done before her spay at 6month. Had bloodwork done at one year with her full physical. Had her two year physical & he said there was no need for yearly bloodwork at her age with no issues, and that every other year is fine. (although she still had blood drawn for her heartworm test)
Does this seem right? Should I be requesting something more?
