I am in the process of changing my vet because she is extremely close-minded and has a 'my way or nothing' attitude.

She also is very superior to owners and gets very offended if you ever dare to ask "why" about anything or happen to pass on information which she is unfamiliar with.

She takes great offence if you want to consider holistic care, and is very stroppy about sending bloods to Jean Dodds DVM.

I feel as an owner I am not given credit for having any knowledge about anything by her and she does not acknowledge that owners know their animals best.
