Same things are said in the U.S. also. Average pets in the U.S. are getting better medical care than average people in the U.S. Yes, also in the U.S. receptionists, nurses, and doctors at veterinarian offices tend to be far more pleasant than receptionists, nurses, and doctors in human medical clinics. Looks like it is same everywhere...
