Having a specialty in one area does not mean you're an expert in all related areas. You don't go to an optometrist and expect them to know how to do a root canal

You seem to be missing that she's knowledgeable in boundaries and this person asked about codependency. Those are not the same thing

It can be but it's not exclusively. Literally everyone sets boundaries, whether they're dealing with mental health issues or not. It's not explicitly a mental health issue.

She stated that she's not a mental health professional. It would be irresponsible for a non-mental health professional to offer advice pertaining to mental health issues like codependency if that's not their speciality.

Why is that such an issue?

That's amazing that you guys have in house vets! I volunteer for a couple of dog rescues and some of the biggest costs come from medical care needed for the dogs.
