Me too.. I have been thinking about calling and asking if I could sit down and tell them how I fixed my dogs GI issues and helped her become healthier but I know they would disagree and question and judge me. I mean I hardly am at the vet ever anymore. I don't buy any of the products they sell so If all their customers were like me they wouldn't make any money period. But isn't that technically a good thing? Having healthy pets? and I never go into a PetCo or PetSmart unless I need a new ball or something. The really frustrating part Dr Falconer is that when I try to spread awareness or explain how I got my dog healthy, and my protocols and lifestyle choices, I get called an extremist and that I'm whacko and paranoid. I share info because I was once someone who blindly followed every word my vet told me, let scare tactics control my decisions. I don't want others to go through that. I spent every night reading online for hours. Researching. Talking to people and doing my homework. I didn't always make the right decisions but I figured it out and now I'm an advocate. An information sharer. My dog is proof. I have receipts from my Old vet and Tufts for hundreds and even thousands of dollars, it didn't get me anywhere.. But when I share my story and what I'm doing now which is simply just feeding real food instead of food-like products and making sure everything is natural and organic as possible. I get weird looks because "my dogs have been eating kibble and using frontline and getting vaccinations yearly and we use chemically treated lawns and our dogs lived long healthy and happy lives, so you're saying I'm doing everything wrong and my dog wasn't healthy?" People literally become defensive. it bothers me. Especially the people who have had major health issues like cancerous tumors, heart attack a and such but they continue their ways and are so closed minded and stubborn..
