This is something I insist on in both my doctors and vets....I am not an idiot, but I am not a vet, but I attend CEU's and seminars, research classes, etc and I do insist on intelligent give and take. I expect the time be taken with me to get this done in the pups best interest. My vet has actually incorporated some things that I insist on with my own dogs, into their clinic policy/procedure. Neither party can be absolutely closed minded, and if intelligent discussion takes place, one side or the other can usually see the research and facts and studies behind the idea, the whys and why nots, and an agreement is reached....in my case, nine times out of 10, I will go wth my vet, because she is ALL about what is best for my dogs....she can back up everything she thinks, does, or says, with evidenced based research results.....
