They probably do so they don't have to be taken back in to have stitches removed. I was surprised they said I didn't need to bring Pele back. The other vet would have demanded seeing her in so many days so they could make extra money off people. When I called this afternoon about her leg, I was listening to the ads on their phone hold and they actually said how their clinic isn't in it for the money, but for the love of animals. No wonder they offer the discount services to everyone.
