Another reason I have for wanting to change is bc they don't have any vets who specialize in toy dogs which bothers me. I mean yes they know about dogs but I would feel more comfortable with someone who knows everything about my wee one in particular. So it's not like I have bad blood with my current vet or like they aren't good to me or my dog (oh yea did I mention my family has been going to this vet since before I was born?? Hope they don't take it personally..  ) but I need and want something a little more affordable and a vet who revolves soley around toy dogs. Is this wrong? A difference in prices is.. I paid $275.00 to have Harley fixed and he was in the vet office for about 3 hours or so. One of my gf's had her dog (same size) fixed for $80.00 and they kept her baby over night just to keep an eye on her to see if she had any problems. She had all the same blood tests etc done and her dog is 100% healthy. I'm just wondering, do I go find a different vet and then have them call and request Harley's info to be transferred to their facility or do I have to go in and request it? Am I going about this the right way?  |
I recently changed vets. Pixie needed a booster shot, so I made an appointment with the new vet and the receptionist called Pixie's about to be ex-vet and had all her records faxed to them.
You don't have to speak to the vet you're dumping, just ask his receptionist to fax all records to whomever you decide.
I later met the ex-vet in a diner. We exchanged greetings and nothing was said about my leaving. He did ask for Pixie.
Good luck!
