    I think my Vet approves of Pet Talk

    Ginger had to go to the vet this afternoon for meet the doctor who is going to perform dental surgery on her in a few weeks. It is not the doctor we usually see but the one in the practice that specializes in level two dental procedures. This particular doctor has never seen Ginger and she requires a meeting with the patient and owner beforehand to go over the procedure and what it will entail (nice policy ). During the exam she asked what dry food Ginger normally eats, and I told her it is a mixture of Evo and Merrick. She looked up suddenly and asked how I learned about the good food. I told her I was a member of an online doggie chat site.Later we went back to the surgery room and were talking about cost associated with the procedure. I told her that I was expecting it cost between $300-600.00. She then asked if this doggie chat site covers all areas of dog ownership. I told her that it does. I should have given her the name of the site to check out, but I didn't. Maybe when I take Ginger in for her surgery I will. I think she may be interested in checking us out.

    Cool! That was really nice of her to ask you. Be sure to give her the location - maybe she'll recommend PT to other dog owners.

    Joyce, we will be thinking of your pretty girl when the time gets closer. Remind us so that we may send up some extra PT prayers for a good dental visit. (I have told my vet about Pet Talk too! )

    All of my clients are shocked of my knowledge of dogs, and that I am only 17 years old. Before I even began my job, I learned what I know because of PT. PT really has opened my eyes to the quality of dog food.

    P.S I feed EVO to Sage and Zoey too. My vet only feeds high quality food, it's great because then I feel like I can really trust her, not to mention she is a dog training friend.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    Even I have surprised my vet with the things that come running out of my mouth!

    I learn something new everyday! You guys are awesome.

    I brag about PT all the time!

    What a great vet policy!! A nice preview of what's to come.

    I love you Ginger, pretty girl. Not to fear, you'll be fine.



    I've been Boooo'd!

    Thank you very much for the comments everyone. When we go back I will tell her the name of the site, because she really did sound interested.

    Another thing that has had me amused about this surgery; we went back to the surgery room and she showed me that they will have warm air blowing up on Ginger through vents on the operating table. It just struck me funny because she will be asleep, she won't care if it is cold. But the doctor said it is important to keep her body temperature up. Wish I were treated as well when I had dental surgery.

    Ripley, the doctor said I may have to have a tooth (or maybe two) taken out. Sigh. And after that Mom says I am going to have to start having may teeth brushed. How do all of you other PT dogs like having your teeth brushed?
