Finding the right Vet for your puppy/dog is well worth the effort it will take. Ideally, you will want to find someone who is easy to share your thoughts about your dog with. This way, you will feel more comfortable expressing your concerns and thoughts about your dog’s health. Not only do you need to trust your Vet, but also you need the Vet you choose to trust your (the owner’s) intuition. Here is how to shop for a Vet:

Call each Vegetarian on your list to schedule a consultation before you bring home your new puppy/dog. Ask if there is a fee when you set up the appointment.
Arrive for your appointment with a list of questions. Talk to both the doctor and the staff to get a better idea of how the office operates. Sit in the waiting room for a while to soak up the atmosphere and get an idea how the staff interacts with patients.
