I am not put off by bedside manner IF the vet is good. Fortunately, though, I do have both.  I have been to a local specialist whose bedside manner is not the best, but she is an excellent cardiologist. She is knowledgeable and listens and explains things.
I find it very hard to believe that two AAHA accredited facilities are that bad. Possible yes, but improbable. It would have to be solid proof of pups dying, etc for me to not go to one for a look/see.
But...that is me. If you like your vet that is important. I do think you need to take those guidelines for him to see. |
Thank you, I will bring in the guidelines. I don't have solid proof about the other hospitals, only what I have heard from neighbors and read in local forums.
Relative to bedside manner, I don't mind slightly gruff and I don't need hand holding. Our current vet knows I'm all business and he speaks to me intelligently. However, I don't want a vet that seems too busy to be concerned or who is a robot.
