Choosing A Local Vet

Decide on a local vet who makes you feel comfortable, who takes the time to talk to you, and who answers your questions completely. After all, you are entrusting your pet to this professional and paying for the service.

Evaluate the cleanliness of the office, including the exam rooms, and the helpfulness of the staff. If the staff acts impatient with you or other clients, or does not want to answer your questions, move on and keep looking.

Some owners prefer to use vets who specialize in a specific animal, like for dogs only or cats only. Such veterinarian has a lot of experience with canine or feline medical issues and keeps up to date on the latest studies, procedures, and other dog- or cat-specific medical information. These veterinarians also have the appropriately sized medical equipment and surgical supplies on hand for dogs or cats, which makes the visit much less stressful for your pet. In addition, there will not be any barking dogs in the office if you have a cat or meowing cats if you have a dog. If you find a canine only or feline only veterinary clinic in your area, it is worth checking out to see if it meets with your approval.

After you have found the vet whom you are going to use, keep her name, address, phone number, office hours, and the directions to the clinic in a convenient place. If you or another family member has to take your pet in for medical attention, all the information will be easily accessible.

During treatment, if the vet recommends a surgical procedure or a remedy that you do not agree with, do not be shy about getting a second opinion. Ask another vet what the alternatives are, and ask for advice on the best course to take. Trust your instincts when it comes to your pet's health care.

If you are dissatisfied with the vet's advice, if it seems questionable, or if a condition shows no sign of improvement, get a second opinion. Your pet will thank you for it.

A healthy diet, annual veterinary checkups, and up to date vaccinations should keep your pet in perfect health.
