Vaccinations perhaps some are a little un-necessary, but it is better to be safe than sorry. We have a great vet, local practice in Middlesbrough and they talk to you ask you what you think etc BEFORE they carry out any treatment (unless its an emergency and we have had a few of those).

What I find to be a big con is pet insurance. We had insurance on our Jack Russel Benji (he's 7 years old). One day I wa sout walking him and he was attacked by a dalmation, puncture wounds all over, he was bleeding heavily. Took him to vets, cost us over £100 on that one night to have him treated (emergency call out etc) plus another couple of hundred because the wounds became infected, the insurance company told us to get stuffed cos it wasnt life threatening and he wouldnt be on medication for life. So we told the insurance company to get stuffed. I went round to see the owner of the dalmation and she denied everything, I pointed out she had a standing fight with me cos I kicked the dalmation more than once in the ribs (it did have hold of my little jack russel and it was shaking him about trying to kill him) So I went and reported her and the dog to the police. Police wouldnt even do anything!!!!


So beware Not only can Vets con you so can the insurance people and the polive in event of an "incident"
