Fair enough, for you and your situation.
However, my lifestyle is relatively active as we take Teddy through woodlands, parks, fields etc. Therefore, professional recommendations vary with each situation as would be expected for vets and other medical professionals who give advice according to medical ethics.
A blanket approach is never a good idea since we all live in different conditions. I would hope that if the vet disagreed with you, they would say instead of let you dictate treatment unless you have the relevant qualifications. Although, I do agree that we should question everything since that is how we learn.
