The capabilities of a dog's nose far outweigh anything our noses can do. Imagine living in the world being strongly led around by your nose.

Learning to read stress signals in dogs can go a long way in preventing a bite.

I ran across an article in one of our Veterinary publications today. This section of the article infuriated me on many levels. 1. That they needed a study for this? Are Veterinarians NOT listening to their clients' financial concerns? Do they not realize Veterinary prices are OUT OF CONTROL? And 2. Even more infuriating to me, 73% of pet owners WERE NOT offered a plan b, or lower cost option? Which, to me, equates to the pet possibly not receiving any form of treatment at all. People can afford, what they can afford and if that means a plan b, or plan c, it should be offered. It might not be considered "gold standard" but if it's something that can help a pet, it should 100% offered. The pet should ALWAYS come first. Period. Full stop. People want to take the best possible care of their pets, but with out of control pricing and corporations running most practices where only the bottom line matters, it's hard to do that. That's one of the reasons we keep our prices as low as possible, offer options and have a Pay it Forward fund to help those pets who need help. I'm so ashamed of what this profession has become.😢😢 What are your thoughts on prices or the profession as a whole?
