People treat vets like shit, and it’s no wonder they have the highest suicide rates out of most professions.” —puss_pastry —robbyabradford —lilatrainor101114 “Also, everyone should get pet insurance. Having it means that owners would not have to think about the financial aspect when making decisions about their pets’ care.” —e4dd6ad9f9 “Not only does it save you money in the long run but also prevents so much pain and suffering for your pet, and grief for you and your family.” —AlexT “Be honest about your budget. We will try our best to work with you. “Be nice to the doctors and staff. I promise you we are always doing our best for your pet.” —Anonymous —Travis Reinhart “I know people got puppies during lockdown due to more time at home; but to these dogs, all they ever have known is being alone with only you safely at home. If you don’t consistently expose them to different social situations/environments, they won’t know how they are supposed to be. Play with their feet, hold them laying on their sides, give them a bunch of cookies. That way when we have to do similar things at the clinic, your pet doesn’t automatically assume we are trying to murder them.” —ktownson12 —Corks B “The fact that feline taurine deficiencies and dilated cardiomyopathy are becoming more common is frustrating, but even more frustrating are owners who reject prescription diets (such as ones that help manage kidney disease) in favor of whatever diet’s being marketed at the time because they saw someone online or their breeder promoting it. We just want what’s best for your pet, and we don’t get any sort of kickback from food companies, contrary to popular belief (if we did, so many of us wouldn’t be in debt lol). “I understand that commercial diets aren’t right for every pet, but talk to your primary care DVM before deciding to switch to a boutique diet that has flashy marketing but might not have gone through the same safety and nutritional testing as more common foods.” —Beanboy —swampdog
