When looking for a veterinarian, asking friends or neighbors is an obvious starting point. Recommendations from shelter workers or trainers can also provide first-hand opinions. Another option is to search online. Many websites include reviews by previous clients and information regarding the types of animals the facility treats, the office’s hours, and any special offers. For specialty vets, pet owners should check for board certifications, as these verify that the veterinarian has successfully completed additional schooling and exams in the specialty area. After narrowing down the search, pet owners should set up an appointment to see the facility and speak to the staff without their pet. This gives prospective clients an opportunity to check for cleanliness and organization and determine whether communication with the vet and staff is easy, because human-to-human communication is a critical element in a pet’s care. While at the office, pet owners should ask any questions that arise regarding qualifications, technology, services, or any special needs a pet may have. Comments are closed.
