    Which says it all- we don't trust our pets , we rush them down to the vets. When there is something wrong with ourselves we often delay going to the doctors , where is the logic in that ?

    It has nothing to do with "trust". Pets can't tell you how they are feeling or decide when to seek medical help for themselves like a human can, they are dependent on us.

    But we humanise them in terms of what we think they need. Of course our pets should go to the vets when they need too.My point is we don't always need to take them for the small ailments,sometimes the stress of going far out ways any possible benefits.
