Find A Top Vet For Your Pet

Selecting a veterinarian for your furry friend is a big decision. How to pick one? How do factors such as convenience, specialty services and the overall vibe you get from a veterinary practice figure into the equation?

Start the process with referrals from friends and neighbors who have pets. Make a list of clinics based on your preferences, from location to type of practice. You may be willing to drive further to a cat-only clinic, for example, or one that offers a special treatment that your new friend needs. A convenient location between home and work might be a priority.

Next, visit the clinics on your list. Call ahead to schedule a tour and meet the veterinarians. Ask questions about price, hours, alternative care, etc. Observe the veterinary staff for competency and compassion.
Once you have chosen a primary veterinarian, scout out emergency clinics in your area for times when your veterinarian’s office is closed. Many vets have relationships with such a clinic. Even if they don’t, they should be able to recommend one.
