It seems to me just good common sense that owners should know who is treating their sick pets. This policy change that makes it possible for students to work in offices earlier in their training means that pets are definitely not receiving treatment from qualified, licensed vets as they may expect is happening. I am opposed to this policy change and still believe that owner consent is essential.
