Summary: | One topic is conspicuously not addressed in veterinary publications -- breeders. Although respect and integrity shape the public perception of veterinarians, the author would add that they're cowardly sometimes. For too long they have let public opinion and prejudice determine whether they take a public stance on breeders. To be clear, the author thinks most of these breeders genuinely care about their bitches, queens, etc., but most breeders she knows don't bring their pets to a veterinarian regularly. She recommends that pet owners ask for references when purchasing a pet from a breeder. Those references should be from an owner. Lastly, the author always encourage clients to adopt from shelters. |
