Thank you Laurel for the honest, candid reply. I appreciate the feedback. To briefly elaborate on the trend you feel may have occurred- it has nothing to do with worry over litigation at all. It is all about believing animals deserve the very best, to inquire, to prevent, to care for. They have given me so much over the years and it is the way I try to give back. If I can make even a small difference in how they feel, it is all worth it. And everyone that decides to do so should be so very proud. Just giving shots years ago made us feel like we were doing something preventive, helpful for them. We now know that sometimes giving shots could harm as well, that sometimes looking into other avenues is what is needed. We know so much more now about the needs of animals and where our care is best targeted. I am just trying to provide that to the best of my ability. I understand not everyone can afford things, and I do try to work with people on staging procedures, selecting, doing what can be done to help.

Both Dr Dudzic and Dr Nanny have been outstanding in understanding the health and behavioural issues surrounding our two ageing cats. They truly care about the cats' needs. When one has a difficulty taking pills, the vets have come up with liquid solutions that are much easier to administer! And they've solved the problem of one cat's seasonal skin disorders, and the tensions that occur between two mature cats. Outstanding care.
I left this clinic shaking. I've never felt so attacked by a vet in my life. She makes you feel like you are not a good pet owner and uses fear-mongering to guilt you into expensive treatments. If my dog really needs to \stick a needle\ in her wart, I will do it elsewhere. Also, she is a very healthy weight for a dog her size and she kept insisting that I don't feed her a proper diet. This vet should go into sales instead of pet care. I have switched to another vet since and the first thing they said was, \Her weight is perfect and it is clear that she is well taken care of.\ Those simple words mean a lot to someone who is coming to your clinic for pet care, but I never heard that from Oak Bay. I thought maybe she was having a rough day, but the second time I had to go in, she was just as mean. I will never be back.
They provide good service, are intelligent, easy to talk to, and they seem to actually care.
If you are interested in a master class on pressure sales and fear based selling, I recommend this vet. Eva would make a great sales rep. Though she is clearly a knowledgeable veterinarian, her business practice are offensive and questionable. It is clear her intentions are less about helping animals, and more about turning a profit for the clinic. Eva will insist that your dog is at risk of disease or illness. She will focus on potential problems, instead of potential solutions, and often takes a worst case scenario approach to dealing with minor ailments. My dog had a wart which she insisted should be \stuck with a needle\ and inspected further. She also insisted on blood work and extensive kidney tests, all of which had been done by our former vet only a few month prior and showed no signs of illness or issue. This vet should be avoided at all costs.
