Vets give bad advice all the time, especially when they can make money off of it. How many still prescribe Heartguard to Collies? I had one vet give me promeris for my cats and another vet, at the same clinic, told me it was bad for cats and they didn't even sell it. Sure enough the display was sitting in the lobby. Look at all the vets that sign off on health certificates for sickly petstore puppies. If a large scale breeder wants something done, how many vet are really going to say no and risk losing their business and any potential business from their puppy buyers? And on the reverse how many vets ignore knowledgable small scale breeders when it comes to breed specific issues?
