For those passionate pet owners, choosing a veterinarian with all the qualities you’re looking for can be tricky. Pet owners typically want someone who has the same level of care and concern for their pet as they have. When searching for the right veterinarian for your pet, consider these tips.
Ask for Recommendations: Speak to your family members, friends and neighbors for any reviews or recommendations on the veterinarian you may be considering. Hearing about bad experiences can certainly turn you away from a certain pet doctor and lead you to a more experienced one.
Plan a Visit with Your Pet: Call and make an appointment to visit the veterinarian facility to meet the staff and check out the cleanliness and overall appearance of the building that may be housing your pet. It’s best to find a facility that presents a relaxed atmosphere for both your pet and yourself.
Review Credentials: Check to see what organizations, clinics or humane societies your veterinarian belongs to and if he/she participates in any animal help events. This can show how strongly your veterinarian cares for animals in general.
Listen to Questions and Answers: When asking your potential veterinarian questions about pet care, listen to the responses that are given. The veterinarian should take the time to fully explain any care instructions that you don’t understand and provide advice, tips and a phone number in case you have any questions later.
Request a Tour: At some point in your pets life, they may need to stay overnight in a veterinarian facility due to surgery or other problem. Request to take a tour of the facilities kennels and sleep areas to check for clean, warm, dry, odor-free and comfortable sleeping quarters.
Bring Your Pet for a Check Up: Schedule an appointment for your pet to have an initial check up with the chosen veterinarian. This will allow you time to observe how the pet and veterinarian staff interacts with each other and if they will be a good match. Always trust your instincts when it comes to a hesitant veterinarian. Your pets’ life could be in these individuals’ hands at some point in time so consider these tips when making a decision.
