OP I'd say for future reference be a bit more mindful on how you present things. Your write up reads like a "how to" guide for new owners to follow your example. New members or anyone just browsing the forum could easily find what you wrote and take it as a legit walkthrough to follow which is why everyone was expressing their concerns with the incorrect and misleading info written.

Good point. I will be more mindful in the future when making posts. My goal was definitely not to tell experienced owners how to do it. I really just wanted to show what I had done, and I very much expected to receive criticism and constructive advice. I appreciate all the comments and feel wiser for having read these tips. I do not want to sacrifice efficiency for safety.

i agree with MissterDog. i did find it confusing that you seemed to present a guide for new owners, but the info was not correct. for new members/owners, we want to make sure they're getting the best information possible, so we needed to chime in a point out some of the mistakes you made.

no worries! i appreciate you being open to criticism and listening to our advice. all we want is for your pet to be healthy and happy.
