How-ever baring that and the above comment was from a pet owner, she seems to be doing a whole lot of things right.
But not how-ever health testing. And that quite simply I don't agree with.
It is up to you to determine how important it is to you health testing is. |
I asked her (the pet owner/reference) if her vet said that the umbilical hernia was genetic or developed and she said: "It is caused by the mother being too rough. I'm pretty sure." , so I emailed her for more information regarding that.
I think that if I do end up purchasing from her I will be 100% buying pet insurance just in case anything comes up.
