I know all that. (And when I said "where there are dog people," I was thinking more about shows/competitions.) People, of course, do speak English outside vet clinics.
I just think it's . . . odd? . . . for someone who deals with animals professionally to avoid the word just because, in other contexts and used with reference to a human, it would be offensive.
