You can start with a bit of
worth of mouth and ask in the community about the best vets. People will start
talking and they will refer you to some vets in no time. Ask the people who
have pets about their vets and see what they tell you. They are the first
persons to whom you should speak. Ask if they are happy with the current vet
and if the vet has solved their dog problems in the past. If the breed of your
dog is a special one, then you can start by asking the breed association about
a vet that treats that special breed.
They can easily refer you to one. If you have taken the puppy from a local
breeder, you can ask him too. Also, if you are looking for a holistic vet you
can look on the website ahvma.org and see their database. If you are an open
minded person you could also be interested in talking to a vet that does
acupuncture too. You can contact one by referring to the International Veterinary
Acupuncture XE "Acupuncture" Society. You can view their website XE
"International Veterinary Acupuncture Society" at ivas.org.
After you get some vet names,
these are the most important questions to ask him:
1. What services it offers?
The doctor is a part of a
multi-doctor practice or it is a one-office doctor? There are many doctors that
try to consolidate their practice and they team up with group practices or form
partnerships. There is no problem with that except for the fact that sometimes
you could be seeing another vet from the same practice. Also, try to see if the
service he offers also has a 24 hour emergency option. If the dog suffers an
accident, make sure you can call in the middle of the night if you need help.
2. Does the doctor also provide
a full surgery suite and has an on-site lab work with X-rays and ultrasound
capabilities?
If your vet has to take the
lab tests and analyze it somewhere else this could take a lot of time plus you
could get additional taxes on your tab.
3. Get a fee schedule.
Most of the times the most
important aspect in choosing the vet is the cost but it shouldn抰 always be
like that. There is no need to pay a small amount of money to a doctor that
will not solve your problem than pay a good fee to a good vet.
4. Check out the physical
characteristics of the facility.
Before you make up your mind
about selecting that doctor you also need to check his physical facilities.
Make sure the place is clean and you can also see if there are magazines up to
date in the waiting room. This may appear like a small issue but this means the
doctors are paying attention to news and they also care about you.
5. Communication.
You also need to make sure you can establish a good communication with the vet. You need to make sure you can speak with him and that he cares about your problems. A good vet will always explain you the procedures and the tests and will give you advice.
