You recently went to your neighborhood big box store and they were touting the fact that you could purchase your pet’s medications at drastically discounted prices. So why is your veterinarian charging so much for the same item? Are they really concerned about keeping your pet healthy or are they just in it for the money? And why are they always recommending that once or twice a year you bring your pet in for a wellness examination? It looks just fine. And teeth cleaning... give me a break! You have owned pets for years and never had a prophy- animals in the wild... they never get their teeth cleaned!

My guest is Dr. Ted Cohn. He is the current president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. In the next 30 minutes we are going to discuss the cost of caring. We will also investigate how veterinarians attend to the health of animals, people and the environment along with the specialization that has occurred in veterinary medicine over the past several decades.
