It simply amazes me that professional such as a lawyer or a vet would use blog spam to promote their business. Here is an example of some blog spam that was posted as a comment on my dictionary blog today.

It is so interesting to see the difference between these two words! I always assumed they were the same person, but it appears that they are quite different. It is good to learn that a lawyer can help in just about any area of the law. Now I will be aware of this if I ever feel like I need help with the law. Thanks for this clarification, it was really helpful to learn more about the difference between lawyers and solicitors! http://www.dwyerlaw.com.au/get-to-know-us.aspx

Blog spam is where another business promotes their business by putting a link on the site of others. There's no real intent other than promoting their business.
I've had many businesses post blog spam this over the years and I regularly see blog spam on other sites. The reason is the business I suspect has usually handed off their website development and promotion to another business. A business that is not held to the same ethical standards.
Don't blog spam. It affects your business reputation. The web developer, designer, SEO consultant, or whomever you use the services from, only stands to lose your business. Their reputation is not affected. You stand to lose business or many potential customers. Whether you're a vet, lawyer or any business owner, for goodness sake ask questions about how your business will be promoted. It is your business, your reputation at stake. It is your responsibility.
