I strongly object to approval of these regulations without a provision that would require an owner give consent for student performance of any task which ordinarily requires a license. As a pet owner I want to know the qualifications of the people providing treatment to my pets. Without my consent, my assumption is the person is fully licensed to perform the task. Putting a sign in the office saying “students working here” is unacceptable. I request that the process begin again, with another comment period and that public comments be taken into consideration. These are our pets and I don't consider it a bourden for a vet to have a conversation with the pet owner and inform them who is providing the services. I should be given the choice to allow a student to treat my pet.
