A trip to the vet should be all about your pet. So why do people bring their kids?
Veterinarian Patty Kuhly has some tips on how humans should behave:
* Silence the phone. It’s rude to take or make a call during your best friend’s exam.
* Get a sitter. Most vets LOVE kids - at home. They see your little darlings as a liability. It’s hard enough to keep the pets safe without having to worry about very young or badly behaved children.
* Lock your leash. Retractable leashes need to be locked on the shortest setting. Anything longer than that is a hazard to other pets and humans in your path. No leash is NOT an option.
* Put your cat in a carrier - please! Holding your cat or a harness and leash are really BAD ideas, unless you’re trying to tempt that cat-hating canine.
* Pay the bill. Pet owners often forget their checkbooks or agree to hospitalization and procedures — and later refuse to pay. Not cool.
