Yet another vet switch......arggggggh

While I really like my vet, we agree to disagree on some things. While he was supportive in waiting to spay her until she was at least 18 months and the fact that I titer instead of vaccines, but he is not supportive of a raw diet or the fact that I don't use heartworm meds all year. My vet took over the business from his father, and at the end of the day he is a businessman, as many are. He is smart enough to know if pushed I will go somewhere else. Maybe you can look into a Holistic Vet if there is one near you?

Yeah she kept coming back to "it's just going to cost you more money to wait because the bigger the dog the more the surgery costs" argument like I hadn't a clue and had walked into getting a mastiff out of sheer stupidity. I don't know she just pushed every one of my last buttons and then to top it off when I was checking out she went and grabbed a bag of science diet and set it on the counter. I said "umm I don't need or want that" and she started on a ramble about how the scientists knew their stuff Yada Yada Yada, I put the cash for the office visit on the counter and walked out.

Wow- this is the same thing we heard from our vet, literally almost word-for-word! Fortunately they gave up pressing the early neutering and we found 1 vet in the practice that has since been supportive of our "research" we do on Mastiffs prior to coming in for visits. Can't say the same for the other 2 in the practice so we're always certain to only schedule an appt. we our favorite vet is working.
