So, bottom line is that Dr. Carrie is awesome. Most vets over-prescribe all sorts of medicine - monthly flea/tick, monthly heartworm, etc etc. As a result, I have learned to go to "holistic" vets, but let's face it, some if them are a little TOO holistic for my tastes (I don't think essential oils will cure cancer, for example). Dr. Carrie is the perfect blend - she knows her stuff and recommends the necessary vaccines/medicines without over-prescribing. She is a wealth of information and is friendly and warm. She is the best!
