Default VET question

When you take you pup or grown dog to the vet for shots or prep work for a procedure (ie spay), does the vet allow you to be in the room when the shots are given or does your Vet ( or a Vet Asst.) do the prep work. After an operation, does the Vet see the pup 7-10 days afterwards, do an exam and take the stitches out or is this all done by a Vet Assistant????
Things are surely done different here than what we are used to in N Va!

How is it done at other locations such as Mulberry!

I think many things should be left to owner preference ... if the owner remains calm and collected. As long as my animals are awake, I'll be there with them. Some Vets welcome owners being present, and some don't.

I took my cat in for blood tests. The Vet said she would draw the cat's blood in another room. I said "That's OK, I'll go with you". She said sometimes they have to try several times and the owners get upset. I stayed with the cat and it was just fine. But I'm usually a calm person.

I'd suggest you ask on the telephone before you book an appointment whether they are flexible.
