Props to you for restraining yourself!
Other than for an annual exam (possibly with or without vaccine boosters), the times I'm at the vet are when ZoE is sick or I think there's something wrong with her. So, it makes sense to me to keep your dog(s) away from all other animals at the vet's office, as most are probably ill or sick with something.
It reminds me of taking my kids to the pediatrician when they were young and seeing all those snotty-nosed sick kids in the waiting room playing with the office toys. eek! I'd never let my kids touch those germy things!
