I work at a veterinary clinic. Most pugs that come in sound like they’re having a panic attack just from walking in the front door, their breathing is so bad. It’s abusive to breed dogs to struggle through life.
To be fair, your sampling would be biased to dogs that have more issues, no? Either way, I don’t disagree, people need to stop intentionally breeding unhealthy traits in dogs 🙁
We are not an emergency clinic, so most appointments in a day are typically routine. It’s mostly annual exams, vaccines, nail trims, etc.
So no, we don’t see mostly problem appointments in a day. My sampling is just more regular exposure to many breeds under normal circumstances.

No, it wouldn’t. Responsible pet owners get their pets annual physicals, so vet tech see a very large amount of ‘well’ animals.

Fair enough!
I’ve done several years as a vet tech. The vast majority seem just fine 🤷♂️.
Then I’m glad you’re no longer a vet tech.
