As the owner of 3 insured pets, 2 of which need ongoing complicated care, it’s easy to see that vets are overworked and underappreciated.
My local practice was recently taken over by a UK chain and it’s obvious. I asked (before) if supplements were worthwhile, and was told that there was no clinical evidence for them and lifestyle changes were more impactful. After the buy out, I was led to the front where an enormous stand of supplements sat and was urged to consider the very expensive options after a consult that showed the lifestyle choices were having a great impact on quality of life.
It’s a real shame. I got a call later in the evening yesterday with results for my currently unwell cat and I know that vet had been there for 12 hours at that point.
I’ll never grudge the money I spend on them because I’d sell my car before seeing them suffer but I can see how many would become disenfranchised after working in the reality of modern veterinary medicine.
