Choosing a Veterinarian
So you’ve moved to a new area or you have a furry family member addition and you need a Veterinarian. You want to choose your Veterinarian like you would a family physician. Call and/or visit a few clinics, ask a lot of questions, get a feel for the place and then make a decision. A great Veterinarian is an exceptional animal doctor and has terrific people skills. You want a Vet who listens to you, is caring, understands your dog’s needs and has extensive animal medical training and knowledge.
To help find a great veterinarian here’s a few tips:
- When you see a well cared for dog on a walk, at the beach or at a dog park, ask their human who is the family Vet.
- Ask friends, neighbors & coworkers.
- Call your local animal shelter, Humane Society, or PAWS and get the who’s who in your town. These dedicated people see it all.
