When I go in to get a quote, I will ask him who his vet is. I will make sure to stay clear of what ever place he goes too. I can't believe that a vet would tell him to do such a thing either. When we get our dog, of course it is going to be another family member. I wouldn't spit in my family's food so why would I want to start with a dog? I still don't get it. I have been thinking about that since before I posted this and I still can not for the life of me comprehend this in any way shape or form. I am glad others are in agreement as well.
