Why pet owners should not pressure their veterinarian to cut corners

Cost of medical diagnostics and services often present an obstacle for pet owners to elect the best possible treatments and surgery for their pets.  This commonly results in clients asking veterinarians to eliminate certain recommended ancillary diagnostics or treatments for a given treatment protocol or surgery – in essence cut corners - in order to save cost.

Dr. Roger discusses why pet owners should not do this, and takes examples from his own experience, the possible tragic consequences when, with the best of intentions, vets agree to do this.
