indoor pets + vets ?
I'm curious if I'm in the minority on this one. I have 2 indoor-only cats, both pound rescues (one from 2000, the other 2006). They were spayed/neutered and given a clean bill of health when adopted but have not been back to a vet since. Since they do not go outside (and no other animals come inside except humans) it doesn't seem that there is any reason for shots or vet visits. In fact my ex-father-in-law is a retired cell biologist who also has a DVM degree and interestingly enough he is fairly anti-shots/vets.
If an animal is outside and is at-risk then I can see the utility, but not sure it is an issue with indoor animals. Thoughts?
