Choosing a Vet

Choosing a veterinarian for your dog is not unlike choosing a doctor for yourself. You will want to find someone who is willing to listen to your questions and give you explanations in terms that you will understand. It's also important to observe how the vet and his or her staff interacts with your dog. If for any reason you are uncomfortable with your vet, then he or she is probably not the right vet for you, and you should not hesitate to look for someone else.

Another important consideration when choosing a vet is whether or not they provide emergency care and 24 hour care. If they don't, you will need to know what to do in case of an emergency, or where you will be referred if your dog ever needs to stay overnight. Finally, observe your vet during visits. He or she should always perform a thorough exam and, if it is the first visit, ask about your dog's medical history.
