Vets dating clients

[SFG112112]

Are vets allowed to date their clients?

Just curious...

No.idea but why wouldn't they be ?
it's not like a Dr ,patient relationship?

There are rules about humans being romantically involved with animals, it doesn’t sound very ethical to me.

I don't think anyone should be dating a cat or dog.....sure there's a name for that 🤣

Sorry, I couldn't resists but in all seriousness, Why wouldn't they be able to?

Pets - not so much! The owners of pets, of course. Why wouldn't they be?

😂

I assume you mean the client's owners 🙂

I would have thought it's fine as long as there been no misuse of confidential data to access contact details.

You mean the owners of their clients, right?

That's like asking if it's OK to date the local greengrocer who sells you your veg.

Why wouldn't it be ok? What ethical quandary would it present?

Yes I mean their human clients, not patients

I can't see why not. Vets don't do intimate examinations of the owners.

Why on earth would that be a problem? Any more than dating, say, your plumber or postman or architect?

Meow, wuff wuff 😍

I would marry my cat if he'd have me 😁

Why wouldn't that be okay?

Because I wasn't sure if vets have to follow a code of conduct with their clients, like doctors do with patients.

I used to work with someone who was married to a vet, which she said was great because her dog constantly ate socks and pants and plastic bags and he'd operate on it for free. However I think their marriage pre-dated the dog.

Animal husbandry?

But doctors might have to ask you to take your clothes off, do an examination of an intimate nature. That’s why (put crassly) that’s a rule. No problems of that sort with a vet.

Because most vets are employees of a business and acting on behalf of that business. If it goes wrong, business loses a client. It would definitely be frowned upon and I've never known it to happen in 30 years in the industry.

Why, is your vet good looking and single?

If the Vet is treating you then that's a different problem entirely.

Best thread title ever!

Are vets allowed to date their clients?

People have been arrested for that!!!!

Drs etc aren't allowed to date clients/patients because of the imbalance in the power dynamic. The patient is automatically 'vulnerable' in that relationship.

No such issue with vets.

I'm sure a horny dog or two has taken a look at a vets leg and thought "that'll do for me".
