Sorry to hear about your (and others) experience. Yes, Breton Bay does charge more then the rest, etc. However, Dr. Fenwick is simply top notch in my books. Why? Our Bechon was in a lot of "discomfort" in her hinquarters. She would "scream" (once in a while) when jumping on the couch, etc. We took her to numerous vet's (LaPlata, Waldorf, etc.) over the years while her hinquarters got worse. I won't go into the medical stuff but her hips were disingrating and it was going bone against bone. All the other doctor's were trying this and that type of medication. You haven't lived until you constantly pay for visits, medication, etc. at your expense and nothing changes. But, you do what you have to do. We finally decided to give Dr. Fenwick a shot. Dr. Fenwick was the first Vet to actually diagnose and provide medication that actually relieved the pain - period. Our little baby lived many more painless years because of Dr. Fenwick. So, complain about the high prices that Breton Bay charges - I would willingly continued paying it so our little Bichon could live a few more painless years.

I am writing about the Human Animal, and Yeast. This might not apply to Dogs, or Cats. We are all warm Blooded, so it might apply. In Humans, the over-abundance of Yeast can mean several different things, but the top reason for us, is diet. In Humans, it can also mean Diabetes. With Animals, I would say that it's Food Allergies. It could be the Corn, or the other junk that is added to the less expensive Foods. Some Dogs are allergic to the Chicken. My Dog was an itchy Dog. We went Grain-Free, and she no longer itches. Try switching foods, and give it a couple of months, and see what happens. Friend's of ours have Labs that constantly had Ear Infections, and they switched to Taste of the Wild. Neither one of those dogs have had an ear infection since, and it's been years!!

taste of the wild was recalled..you can get something that is similar called earthborn now...i get the lamb version. i was told once its recalled to never go back to it again by my vet. She told me now that i switched to stay with what she is on now and don't go back once they start getting the food back on the shelf as it messes up the dogs stomach with playing musical foods.

I am aware of the recall, but I like to think the Company that makes it, will TRY to do better in the future. I got some samples of the Earthborne, and my Pup likes it, but I found that she likes Innova Salmon & Herring more. She doesn't have any Belly Issues, so I switch often to give her something different, but I stick with the Grain-Free foods.
They're salesmen, too. Dr. Shad is okay, but the other two come up with all sorts of crazy crap to jack you out of money. I'd change but it doesn't sound like the rest are any better.
One question, though: if heartworm medication is supposed to be given once a month, every month, why is it only available with a prescription? I suspect it's just more bullchit so vet's can make money.

Right, but if he is heartworm free and taking a preventative, why would I need a prescription for it? He goes to the vet for annual checkups anyway. I should just be able to get some heartworm pills when I run out instead of having to pay for a doctor visit every three months.

Do they do that? I've always just gone in and said I needed some more heartworm meds, they check his chart to make sure he's been tested within the past two years and hand them over.

I get a years worth of heartworm preventative at a time at the annual visit.

If I can't afford getting a Year's supply of Preventative during my Pup's appointment, I just go in when I need it, and they hand it over too, just like Nickel. Are you sure they make Apollo come in every 3 months? WOW!! I've never heard of that! Oh, by the way..I love Apollo's Life Vest!!

Everyone should do some research on Natural Healing for their pets. There are so many things you can do yourself instead of taking them to the vet and spending so much money. You would be surprised at some of the things you can cure with supplemets and herbs. I use them all the time.

Does my butt look big?
...you needed a vet to sign for a wheelchair??? I have purchased two chairs in my day.. and never had to have a vet sign anything!!
Did when I needed one at least the company I delt with did..needed a paper filled out.
I use it regularly on mine couple times a week and especially after baths...Wont help infections per say just yeast (changes the PH in the ear to keep yeast from growing)

Can you share any of what you use, and do with the Herbs for Pets? I'd be interested in knowing what can be done for Fleas, Itchy-Dog, Stinky Dog, or whatever...Everyone should do some research on Natural Healing for their pets.
