The over prescription of antibiotics are what the vet recommends if you feel they're not needed you don't have to give them to your dog and you don't have to buy them.

Good plan. Happy to hear you like the vet. A good resume and experience are important, but liking the vet is also essential in my book.
Like the grooming services at big pet stores, there are some that are really good. All vet offices and groomers, it's just a matter of finding the right one. The first vet that I took my puppy Max to pushed every vaccine under the sun and I didn't know any better at the time. I changed vets and learned a lot here on Yorkie Talk that enabled me to make more informed decisions.
Best wishes for your little boy.
