you know an article on how to pick a good vet would not be amiss, or else something along the lines of what can you expect from a good vet?

It can be difficult to assert your wishes for your dog at the vet without alienation of what you hope to be your dog's primary doc. But you are the final arbitrator on what you will submit your dog to or not.

For me the ideal vet would know to alert me to up and coming health concerns within our geographical area, and evidence an interest and a knowledge of the special health needs my breed(s) have. If you own a rare breed (which Yorkies are not, in fact the opposite) I would expect over the course of our relationship the vet to study up on this breed, in order to serve my dogs better. i would expect the rooms to be very clean, with a friendly and helpfull reception staff. I would want to be a proactive part of the program of care of my pet, with the underlying understanding, that my word is the final one for the care of my dogs.
