I think the low cost clinics could likely do a sufficient job for most dogs but I want to know I did everything in my power to give him his greatest odds, basically. I even got him his echocardigram after our vet heard a heart murmur back in March so that I had peace of mind with that (result was innocent murmur and nothing to fret over at this point). |
Quality care is super important. The costs of vet care these days is really crazy..
I am afraid of low cost clinics ... there are really good ones but you still don't get the same kind of care.
