I just picked a close random vet when I first brought him home as a pup. I wasn't happy with them. We only went there for puppy check-up and two sets of shots.
He got neutered at a really nice clinic near my dads house and got his rabies shot there.
Then we did not need to see a vet for a while, so I just never looked. When he came up limping one day, I called the original vet (where we had puppy vax done) and said he had been completely holding his back leg up for 2 days and they told me they could get me in like 4 days from then... I said no thank you and Google'd and found one 5 mins from my house that could take him that day.
We've stuck with them ever since... They are definitely not the cheapest, but I like that it's close, the staff is always nice and knowledgeable, they have never pushed anything at me (as far as vaccines or food goes or unnecessary procedures), the vet I personally see is very knowledgeable, and realistic, I really like her. Jax is terrified of vets so I really appreciate that they are not rough with him, and very gentle and kind. They do have a holistic vet on staff but it's mostly traditional/modern. But it's nice having the option if I ever need it. They also are really cool how they update their Facebook and have contests and are involved in the community. |
