The vets that work there are not vets no one else will hire - many people are happy with the pay at a place like that, the s upport system in place (VCA has an amazing continuing education program, for instance).
And I don't see anything that the other vet has done that suggests he doesn't have confidence. I can never really think of a time that a biopsy of something or bloodwork is something that doesn't need to be done. IF you don't want to spend the money, then by all means just say you don't want them - in fact, it makes him a BETTER vet for offering them to you in the first place. If he hadn't you'd be on here posting about how he never did - vets can never win. At least his records will say you declined these things when the masses come back malignant, or the bloodwork could have shown a disease much earlier... If you know more than him, why bother going to the vet, period?
