(1) we require a negative HWT within 12 months of filling medication. No, i won't take your word for it. Sorry. Send me a copy of the results. It can be problematic to give a HW positive pet preventative. Incidentally, the test also tests for lyme, ehrlichia and anaplasma at most clinics.

(2) YOU opted to go elsewhere for the test. If your relationship with them was so sacred, you would have made your appointment with them to begin with. I call BS on your doing it elsewhere because of "moving around so much". I think you wanted to save a buck. And now you are being called on it.

I have some clients I will do ANYTHING for...because I trust them. I have some clients that I won't do anything for, because I don't trust them. The money you pay a vet isnt just for vaccines or meds....it is for their expertise and willingness to help you. You cut them out of that...deal with it.

I like this quote - "If I do a job in 30 minutes it’s because I spent 10 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes."

You owe your vet for the years...stop nickel and diming them and paying them for the minutes.[/quote]

OP said that a test was done at regular clinic this year but they also wanted proof of the dog taking pills. Please read more carefully.[/quote]

Not a vet, but all OP needs to do is provide her receipt from the other clinic.  Why can’t she call the the other clinic and have them email it to her and her vet?  I do this all the time as I have performance horses that sometimes need specialists.[/quote]
