LOL, some owners are definitely not good at taking care of their pets.

Reading your comment makes me laugh, but when it happens to me in the practice it makes me very angry, I feel frustrated because I know they won't do what they should do.

LOL but what if they're veggie treats? I have had people ask me this. Ma'am, a diet means that your dog doesn't eat anything extra, just their food!

I can't believe people have asked you this! I don't really deal with patients, I do what I have to do and then the nurse takes care of everything. I'll ask her to shee if anyone's asked her this before.

Are people really this dumb? It's like the owner's doctor telling them they need to get on a diet and they ask if they can have ice cream. No, dummy, you can't!

We once had to put a puppy down because we told the owner to be extra careful with the food they gave their dog, and they just kept feeding anything to the poor guy. Eventually, the damage was too much.

I only deal with well-known patiets who've been family friends for years. Thankfully, none of them has ever asked me any dumb questions, thank god!
