 I say shop around
I wish I hadn't of trusted many of the vets I've gone too but I have also met some great ones...but that was because I shopped around. I did my own research. I decide what is best for my dog. when I take him to the vet, I listen to their suggestions, I research, and I decide if I will follow it or go and talk to someone else. Holistic and conventional medicine saved my last dog. If I had listened to the one vet, he would have never made it. I am happy that I went to different people and did the reserach that I did.
I am new to the area I am living in now. I have gone to two vets. One was okay and I may use her but she is 45min away. I wanted a closer one for emergencies. The second one I met with was a jerk and way behind on the times. I will have to shop around for a second one close in case of emergencies (nearest emergency clinic is 45min away). I am driving 2 1/2 hours thursday just to get my dog neutered. I shopped around, asked questions, and this place seems like they do things the way I like and has a lot of experience. They are also holistic AND conventional. I like the combination. Anyways, people think I am nuts, but when it comes to my dogs health care...I have had too many bad experiences at vets that now I have learned to shop around. We are human and so are vets. One vet can't know everything especially with the new changing times.
