    3. Carol, Have you heard any reports on the hazards of the Martingale dog collar? Last week my firend's two dogs, who wear these collars, were playing when the collar got wrapped around one of the dog's lower jaw. Since these collars do not have a quick release, they were not able to get it off and the dog was asphyxiated. Despite this tragedy, they still feel the collar is a useful tool. However, they advise the collar not be left on your dog except when using a leash. Could you please help spare other dog lovers this heartache by reporting on the potential risks? We are doing what we can to put the word out there. Thanks so much!

    9. I'm having trouble using this site to pose a question to "Ask a Vet" This site is very difficult to use, as the search brings more ads than substance. I cannot seem tofind a vet with common sense. I have a 5 year old cat with seasonal allergies, every spring and fall I call and request mleds to relieve his suffering, and twice a year the vets, vet tech etc -- well you have to bring him in. I am flat out tired of paying upward of $250 for a visit when a script could be written. It's been more than established that this cat had seasonal allergies. Please help me understand this rip-off!

    5. My dog is now considered a "senior" and the vet wants a full &very pricey blood work done to use as a gauge for the future (and do it every few years). Is this a money-maker for the vet? I am on a very limited income.

    7. Hi Carol, my dog was "diagnosed with a grade 4 heart murmur by my local "chain store vet". I was told I would need a $500 vet cardiology consult to confirm and treat. I find this outrageous and unfortunately am not in a financial position to get this consult and am hoping there are other options available that you may be familiar with. I can't believe that there vets without a cardiology fellowship are not capable of treating a heart murmur with the necessary medications.
