I'd want her to know I take full responsibility for my dog's well-being and safety and not make her think you need the vet's word in order to keep your baby safe - or she may think there's a chink she can work on to weaken you in the future. Stiffen your spine and let her know your dog's health and safety is your responsibility and ONLY concern. Period. And then smile really big.
