When
I
started
bringing
my
dog
to
Centretown
Vet
I
felt
they
were
one
of
the
best
in
the
city.
I
don't
know
what
happened,
but
over
the
past
few
years
I
don't
think
I
ever
came
across
the
same
vet
twice.
I
believe
continuity
in
care
is
extremely
important,
especially
given
that
our
animals
can't
talk.
It
seems
to
me
the
vets
at
this
clinic
are
constantly
changing,
or
the
receptionist
was
always
booking
with
different
ones.
I
believe
this
led
to
a
tumour
not
being
detected
in
my
dog.
Which
eventually
killed
him.
What
I
kept
being
billed
for
was
bloodwork
-
which
was
always
normal.
I
also
paid
for
medications
that
the
vet
thought
might
help,
rather
than
the
vets
recommending
the
testing
that
was
needed
to
find
the
real
issue.
What
I
later
found
out
when
my
dog
died
is
that
what
he
needed
was
an
x-ray
or
ultrasound
of
his
abdomen.
I
am
not
a
vet,
and
I
can't
imagine
the
pressures
they
are
under.
And
I
am
sure
they
do
200%
their
best
and
are
only
human.
However,
my
feeling
is
that
pets
can
not
get
quality
care
if
they
are
always
seeing
different
vets
who
are
not
familiar
with
their
issues
and
subtle
changes
to
their
physical
appearances.
I
had
brought
my
dog
to
Centretown
more
than
4
times
for
checkups
and
bloodwork
and
not
once
did
anyone
of
the
vets
recommend
an
ultrasound
or
x-ray
to
check
his
abdomen.
Yet,
when
I
took
him
to
a
vet
in
New
Brunswick
while
visiting
a
friend,
the
vet
there
right
away
felt
his
abdomen
when
giving
him
a
physical
exam
and
immediately
asked
if
his
belly
was
normally
swollen.
He
had
been
like
that
for
the
past
2
ish
years..over
the
same
period
that
I
had
brought
him
into
Centretown
for
fur
loss
(a
symptom
of
cancer)
.
His
belly
was
never
detected
or
noted
by
vets
at
Centretown,
so
I
assumed
they
examined
him
and
found
it
normal.
With
the
vets
refusing
to
allow
owners
to
accompany
their
pets
I
wonder
what
physical
exams
the
dogs
are
actually
getting
by
the
vets.
I
would
suggest
insisting
on
video
appointments
in
the
future
to
ensure
vets
are
thoroughly
examining
animals
and
not
relying
on
bloodwork
for
everything.
I
have
no
idea
of
knowing
either
way,
however
I
can
only
share
my
experience
and
I
hope
it
is
helpful
for
other
pet
owners
and
might
save
your
pet's
life
one
day.
