How to choose a vet – checklist
Choosing your vet will be a daunting task. Very often a dog will take to a particular veterinarian or not based on their energy and demeanor. Some vets have great personalities, some are very skilled surgeons, others have specialities. It is important that both you, and your dog, feel comfortable with the vet, office staff, and technicians. Here are some tips on how to choose a vet.
