I'd say to go with your gut. If the other vet has better prices and hours for your convenience, then I'd go ahead and switch. I switched vets when Sasha was only 6 or 7 months old. I had an issue with trying to get her spayed. The vet kept telling me that her temperature was too high even after I kept explaining to him that she gets worked up in the car. He put her on meds for 1 or 2 weeks and told me to come back for a follow-up (by now she went into her first heat so I had to wait even longer). When I came back, I didn't even she the actual vet. The receptionist took her temperature, said it was still high and wanted to put her on more meds. Then another receptionist thought she was going into heat even though she had just came out of it a month earlier and then thought she was having a false pregnancy. Needless to say, I never went back, went to a different vet that same week and they told me she was good to go to be spayed, no issues with her temperature at all and I've been at that vet ever since. Their prices are wonderful, the staff is wonderful and their hours are wonderful.
