Hello!! We take care of your pets! You're the one who calls us in a frantic when your poochie gets into poison, bites, fleas, ticks, etc. We are here for you, so please... be here for us!
Coming in five minutes to close... or calling five minutes to close.
I understand emergencies. I'm fine with that.
You dog has been having diarrhea for a week and you just need to get in now because you have been watching him all day trying to decide if you should bring him in or not? NOT COOL
We have lives, you have lives, there are 24 hour places.
Dr. Google.
Oh you know what your dog has and you have the cure?? Really? Tell me more about what you learned on the internet? You researched it for ten whole minutes?
Now you're arguing with my doctor because you are right and his fifty years of hands on experience and book work is wrong.
Come on people. It's our job to diagnose... not yours. Isn't that why you brought your pet to us in the first place????
Yes, you need an exam to get medication.
People call up and want pain meds or ear meds. We haven't seen your pet for three or six years.
The law says annual exams before prescribing any meds. It's the law and it's common sense.
Stop giving your pet your own meds!!!!!
Some human meds can be
Not sticking to the diet or medication directions
You think it would be common sense, but some people like to increase or decrease their pet's doses on whims. We prescribe meds and doses for a specific reason. Vets aren't quacks (well most aren't)
Changing your pet's dose without calling and asking can seriously affect your pet's health.
Not sticking to the diet either???? Strict diets are that...STRICT.
Need to help your pet's allergies? Feed him the diet and nothing else. He's allergic to chicken so we have him on this diet... yet you are feeding him chicken yums yums.. Yep, his skin isn't better because of it.
Your pet fat and needs to lose weigh but isn't?
STOP feeding him treats and table scraps.. also... trying going for walks here and there.
Retractable leashes
How the heck can you have control over your dog when it's thirty feet in front of you??!!
Those leashes wrap around everything and are horrible. I wish they were banned.
No leashes
Basically the retractable leash thing, but worse.. yes... worse.
You open the door and let whatever animal just run through the door.
You don't think.,.. hey there might be a dangerous animal in there.. or hey my dog might run to the back and interrupt them working.
Seriously. Leash or carrier people! LEASH OR CARRIER. Safe for you and your pet, relief for us.
DON'T BE MEAN OR RUDE!
Hey we all have good days and bad days. You've worked. You know how you feel when someone is awful to you. So why do you do it back? Just take a deep breath and try to be sensible here!
Life's too short to be a jerk. So smile. We'll smile back.
Just for your FYI, my next blog will be highlighting the good parts of my job. I swear to you there are some funny/ good moments.
