I agree that a relationship with a vet is very important. Last summer one of my poodles grabbed the older dogs meds when he was being difficult about taking it. I was at my vets in 10min from the time the poodle grabbed the pills and he had thrown it up in less than 3 more min. I now have peroxide here,but at that time I did not. I was able to get treatment for my dog faster than if I had gone to the store. I put the dog in the car,called the vets office while I was on the way and they were literally waiting at the door for me when I walked in. You could not get that by just walking into any clinic,these people know me and know that I trust them.
When I had to put my Bunkey to sleep,everyone in the office hugged me and cried right along with me,because he had been so sick and he was such a sweet baby. |
