I don’t like high vet fees and my dogs do fine without lab tests, Xrays, MRI’s, high-end surgeries, etc.

Perhaps I am shortening their lives by six months, but I doubt it. I think that most people (including me) keep their pets alive beyond the point at which they have a good quality of life.  I favor euthanasia for both dogs and people.

A new book by a UNC MD suggests that annual exams for humans are not useful; why should they be useful for dogs or cats?
