This is so true we used to go to a walk on clinic and it was wonderful. Everything was really reasonable. They got bought out 6 months ago and there are no lines anymore. The whole place was empty. For heart guard they used to give you a year prescription at a time now they’re only giving you six months. They want you to have your dog rechecked for worms twice a year instead of once a year; so that doubles their office visits annually. Which doesn’t make any sense because if a dog is on deworming medication, they shouldn’t have worms.
They also told me that the kennel cough instead of doing that once a year they want me to do it once a year and do a booster in another month, which doesn’t make any sense either.
It’s so sad these huge corporations are buying up small independent clinics.
Yep. I suspect my dog has heart failure so I’ve done hours upon hours of research. I can’t afford thousands right now. I just can’t. And insurance won’t cover it bc it’s pre-existing. So I found out that CoQ-10 with Ubiquinol and a fish oil by Nordic Naturals that’s higher in EPA than DHA are both prime supplements for her symptoms, which are coughing and fluid buildup in the lungs/heart.

Just like I don't go to the dogturd, I don't take them to the vets. I was just telling another person here what I do for health.
Feed them right, exercise, and provide herbal remedies for worms and immune booster for my old dog. 19 by the way and still going on 9 miles hike.
Wow! 19 is amazing!
He is an amazing doggo.
He has an amazing doggo dad for sure!

Do you have holistic doctor in your area? They generally don't take insurance but usually not expensive.
I’m going to check it out.
