Regardless of your pets history, behavior, ect. Dr. Presscott will only believe what she sees or thinks she should be seeing at the moment. In other words, she generalizes dog behavior to ALL dogs and will push treatments or options on you based on that generalization. However, when I tried to explain that my dog doesn't follow the behavior pattern she claimed it did she became indignant, interrupted me and would not let me finish talking. Instead, she talked over me and put a huge guilt trip on me telling me that ""in all her years of experience"" she knows that what I am saying isn't true and that although I've ""lived with my dog for 3 years that I must not be a good dog parent to her."" But, I guess since I've only had dogs my entire life and I live with my dog, I would not know if my dogs can't take pill pockets or need a certain harness (other than the one we have that works great), or that my dog continues to choke on rawhide bones (but don't worry dogs descended from wolves so its OK), or that my dog can't tolerate getting it's nails clipped (which she can and she really doesn't mind). Also, if you do go to her, if you ever ask for an estimate make sure you get a printed and signed full estimate. I asked for an estimate for a treatment and although it wasn't to terribly expensive I was charged double than what the estimate claimed. We've been going to her for awhile now, but am currently looking for another vet.
