Proper handling and restraint of scared, ill, or temperamental animals is necessary for proper veterinary care. Liability-wise, only trained staff and doctors should be handling patients.

Also, some procedures require specialized equipment that could pose a health hazard to untrained personnel (i.e. x-rays). What are your thoughts on pets being treated "behind closed doors"?
