I'd never try to guilt one of my clients into getting a procedure they didn't need and couldn't afford, but sadly not all vets are alike. Always get a second opinion if your pet might need surgery

I completely agree, it's so important to get a second opinion when your pet might need surgery. Not all vets have the same level of experience and expertise, or the same ethical standards. It's important to ensure that you find a vet who has your pet's best interests in mind and isn't trying to push procedures that aren't necessary or affordable.

So true! Everyone should get a second opinion before making any decisions regarding their pet's care and health. Unfortunately, there are some veterinarians who may try to persuade their clients into getting unnecessary and expensive procedures. I've personally seen it happen too many times and it's important that we all strive to be informed pet owners by researching procedures, asking questions, and seeking out a trusted veterinarian who puts your pet's care first.

I strongly discourage any pet owner from rushing into a decision to get their beloved pet surgery without getting a second opinion first. Unfortunately, in veterinary medicine it is very common to give incorrect diagnoses, even more so if the professional does not have sufficient experience.

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?
