Take Charge of Your Pets Health when Visiting the Veterinary

Hi all!   I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!     Recently I saw an ABC News report called "Profiteering Veterinarians."  This report confirmed exactly what I have experienced with veterinaries over my lifetime of pet ownership.  It really pays to be knowledgeable about your pets health....and to be choosy about your vet.   Some veterinaries are out to make a profit and do not have you or your pets best interest at heart.  Veterinaries can increase their profit margins by pushing unnecessary services,  annual teeth cleaning, and over vaccination of pets.   If you are unsure, it is wise to ask your vet whether a procedure is really necessary or just a recommendation. 
 
 I always encourage my friends and customers to call and visit several veterinaries before choosing one.  It is also good to ask friends for references as well.  You will find there is a vast differences in costs from one veterinary to the next.   Ideally you will find a reasonable veterinary that has wisdom when it comes to your pets health.    By being choosy about your vet, you will save your pet unnecessary risk and stress, and save yourself money as well.

Watch the ABC News report, when you have the chance...

It is always good to remember that veterinaries are businesses...and some of them may not have you or your pets interest as their highest priority.
