	ConsumerReports.org - Pets & vets 7/03
		Even if your pet is perfectly healthy, vets are now ready with a battery of tests, shots, and even X-rays for the annual wellness checkup, costing up to $140 for kittens and puppies and as much as $340 for geriatric cats and dogs.
		Vet charges can also be influenced by how much in college loans a newly minted vet has to pay off, how new or fancy the vet's office is, and whether the office, which vets often call an animal hospital, is located in a high-rent part of town.
		Some vets are steering consumers to expensive new surgeries, such as the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy, or TPLO, a procedure in which an orthopedic specialist saws apart a dog's tibia and screws it back together at a new angle to reduce pressure on the knee.

	VETS AND PETS' BOOK
		Peter Van Dongen, agility's very own vet, can now direct worried dog owners to his new book, "Vets and Pets" and get back to chatting about the weather and agility.
		"Vets and Pets" is a spiral bound collection of articles originally published monthly by "The Agility Voice" and "The Agility Eye".
		I suspect that everyone has posed the question, "what would you do?" to their vet when faced with a tricky dilemma.

	Fat cats hit obesity crisis \| the Daily Mail
		Obesity is on the rise in pets as the general health of the nation's animals declines, according to research today.
		And as with humans, the increase in the numbers of paunchy pets is being blamed mainly on overfeeding, lack of exercise and poor diet, according to the study.
		The research for pet insurer More Than found almost 80% of vets are seeing increasing numbers of obese pets, yet 90% of owners believe their pets are not overweight.

	Defra, UK - Animal health and welfare - Pet Travel Scheme - Procedures for Vets - Certificates for pets entering the UK ...
		Pet owners can still use PETS certificates to enter or re-enter the UK, and other EU countries, until the “Valid until” date shown on the certificate.
		However, to enter or re-enter the UK the pet must have had a satisfactory blood test, which can be arranged in the UK or in any other listed country.
		Pet owners wishing to enter the UK with their pet should therefore be encouraged to delay getting the certificate until a month or two before they travel to ensure that it will still be valid when they enter the UK.

		While leaving the dog for kenneling the pet owners have to bring the dog's belt, chain, feeding bowl and some used clothes of the dog owners so that dogs have the scent of the home atmosphere.
		The pet owners are requested to leave a contact address other than their own in the event of the entire family members going away from the city, so as to inform of any serious or untoward situation.
		Though the management assures best attention and nutritive feeding to the pets during their stay, the pet owners must understand that many of their pets refrain from eating during the absence of their owner, which will lead to giving IV drips.

	Vets?? - Pets Hub
		The vet I had in Saskatoon (thats where I used to live) was actually a student at the clinic at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, so it wasn't a chain.
		Now I think some people may not feel all that safe about letting their buns be taken care of by students, but at this vet college anyway, and all others I should hope, there is always as trained vet with them.
		The student that did his initial examination was extremely gentle and patient with stu-ee and he seemed quite at ease with her.

	Are We Overvaccinating our pets? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		A vet's responsibility is to not puthis/her client in harm's way-vaccinations are assaults on immune system.
		That is why vets are supposed to give an examination before giving the vaccination.
		Now vets for instance are being encouraged to give vaccinations to cats in their legs just in case they get cancer-so the leg will be more easily amputated-

	Alternative Vets Ease Pets' Pain
		Like Santander, a growing number of pet owners are opting for the nontraditional medical path for their animals, according to veterinarian Randy Kidd, president of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association in Bel Air, Md. “In the last three to four years, we’ve seen a tremendous boom from consumers,” he says.
		The interest in holistic pet care has even prompted a few veterinary schools to add short courses on acupuncture, homeopathy and other unconventional therapies.
		Even traditional vets acknowledge that some forms of alternative therapy may be beneficial, according to veterinarian Richard C. Swanson, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association in Schaumburg, Ill., which two years ago issued guidelines on the use of alternative and complementary treatments in veterinary medicine.

		Apparently, vets are ripping their clients off and putting pets at risk by vaccinating pets every year as recommended by the vaccine manufacturers.
		In the letter, the authors state that in their opinion vets are over-vaccinating patients, compromising existing immunity or damaging pet health by producing allergic reactions.
		By the time the national press and radio "broke" the story, it was being reported as though a significant number of vets had finally broken ranks, confessing that the veterinary profession was ripping off pet owners with unnecessary vaccinations that might well be killing their pets rather than protecting them.

		Most closely related to clinical practice and pet health care are the clinical and anatomic pathologists who provide diagnostic support to veterinarians who care for pets.
		Because pets are living longer due to vaccines and better general medicine, more animals live long enough to develop cancer, just as humans do.

		I took issue with your statement that people who don,t have insurance, are less likely to take their pets to a vet.
		The most expensive treatment I have ever had with any of my pets was cancer care in a dog 15 years ago, and a hip operation 6 years ago, both came to several hundreds of pounds.
		Luckily over here we have RSPCA clinics in major cities where people on low incomes can get their pets treated for a small donation, also several dedicated animal charities exist for helping towards vet' care for those on low incomes.
