Tim Curtis Webboard User Reg: 07-23-2010 Posts: 227 Loc: Midwest Offline	http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/290204/page/0/fpart/1 A few weeks after that post, I followed up with the vet practice and asked whether the wall-to-wall carpeted waiting room could possibly harbor disease. They said that using carpet is ok because their client pet demographic presents virtually no infectious disease. They cited high levels of owner care, the area/location, economics, etc, and a long practice history that supports that data. So maybe carpet is not such a big deal in this case. Whats really odd though is that in spite of the fact their client pet population is not likely to carry or contract infectious disease, they heavily promote a yearly multi-Vaccine cocktail. That doesn't quite add up does it? To me it seems like a textbook case of unnecessary vaccination. Brodie

Well, I would look at it a little in the reverse. Since they vaccinate (a lot) their clientele is not likely to have infectious disease. So, it is not odd - just a fact of the protocols and those that follow it. If a client chooses to vaccine less than what they recommend, then what? do they kick you off the carpet?

I know we have some mats in the winter, and they always get peed on, bled on and barfed on... never mind infectious disease, it's just gross.
