“Money can buy you a<br />

fine dog, but only<br />

love can make him<br />

wag his tail”<br />

- Kinky Friedman


Choosing the right vet is vital<br />

for your pets health. Not all<br />

vets are right for your pets;<br />

this is one area where one<br />

size doesn’t fit all.<br />

<strong>Find</strong>ing the right veterinarian<br />

isn’t difficult, but you have<br />

<strong>to</strong> do a bit of looking.


Tip #1<br />

A good referral is worth a lot.<br />

Talk first with your dog-owing<br />

friends. Sometimes the shelter<br />

where you adopted your pet<br />

can recommend a nearby<br />

veterinarian.


Tip #2<br />

Seek help of dog trainers or<br />

groomers <strong>to</strong> find a good vet.<br />

You can also find veterinarians<br />

in the Yellow Pages, your<br />

state’s veterinary association,<br />

or the American Veterinary<br />

Medical Association (AVMA).


Tip #3<br />

Once you have a list of vets, call them and ask the following<br />

questions:<br />

• Does the clinic handle emergencies and offer boarding?<br />

• Have you worked with mixed breeds quite a bit?<br />

• Does the clinic offer payment plans if my dog has expensive emergencies?<br />

• What is the cost for routine visits? Vaccinations? Deworming?<br />

• What are the clinic hours? Do you offer after hour-services? And more.


Tip #4<br />

Once you narrow the list of possible vets, it’s time <strong>to</strong> visit the<br />

clinic. When you visit, look around. Check whether the staffs is<br />

pleasant and friendly? Is the clinic clean and orderly?


Tip #5<br />

The final test is <strong>to</strong> bring your pet in for their first appointment.<br />

While some dogs won’t get along with any vet, the vet and staff<br />

should have a gentle & caring manner <strong>to</strong>wards your pet.
