denali Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The worry with this is people not aware of dogs will be influenced by a media figure. I know. Very sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavNrott Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Dr. Harry in the early days was a well respected and fondly regarded personality. Sadly he is now an embarrassing out of date celebrity vet who's a little beyond it and has lost the plot. IMO he sold out to commercialism many years ago. I agree with Leah82 that he is probably being paid for his opinions and is in need of the money. The sad part is that those who are not dog knowledgeable may believe his ridiculous, inaccurate statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The sad part is that those who are not dog knowledgeable may believe his ridiculous, inaccurate statements. I agree with that. Those who do not know 'will' believe him. Not going to swear. But a certain person with gardening skills used to espouse designer dogs. I had an terrible battle to convince two friends not to go there. Public are easily lead astray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I didn't even bother to stop and listen to him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I remember he actually visited and interviewed a sydney rescue in a big smiley supportive clip for whatever show he was on at the time so being paid to do stuff is just part of marketing. Pity he has no committed beliefs that aren't for sale because people do actually listen to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*kirty* Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 On a segment he once took a family to Pets Paradise to buy a kitten. They made sure to show off the brand too. Total sellout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Never been a Dr Harry fan... even less so as he's taken to the public speaking route dispensing crap "advice" on subjects he clearly has no clue about. Not an Oscar's Law fan either... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris the Rebel Wolf Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I too would like to see a video... I work in a pet store and the amount of people who come in asking for products DR Harry has recommended believing his word is gospel is a LOT. Which wouldn't bother me if his brands were all decent, but people asking for 'The Dr Harry brand food' because he tells them it's brilliant is tough one. (That's Supercoat, for those wondering). People BELIEVE what this guy says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffyluv Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think he has been given way too much air time.. The more this is talked about, the more people are thinking about what he said - and some will believe it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westiemum Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 1398606596[/url]' post='6471682']According to the Oscars Law Facebook page he said: • Don't adopt rescue dogs because you don't know what problems you're inheriting • Support PIAA approved pet shops because they sell healthy puppies • Staffies are part Pit Bull and therefore cannot be trusted with children Hmnn... Highly suspicious. Bet he's being paid by someone - PIAA maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
