I take Jada and Bogie for their annual checkup and then split up their vaccines so that is another 2 visits. I drop in for Jada's nail trim and also drop in about every 6 weeks or so and weigh them both. My vet has a small office at his home which is 2 minutes from my house where he does the annual exams and smaller stuff..he has a large office about 30 minutes away where we go if we have to have ultra-sounds, x-rays etc. There are two vets who work for him and they rotate between the two offices. We are in there all the time for something. Of course my DIL and my SIL are both techs so we sometimes just go to visit and they both get us gift certificates for Christmas that we can use for office visits, meds etc. I have had Jada and Bogie 2 years and we have been at least 7 or 8 times for misc stuff and countless times for just visiting.
I have tried to do this from the beginning so Jada and Bogie don't associate going there for something bad, and they are both very relaxed going and never get stressed. Our vet also lets us use his salt water pool in the summer
