Great Experience with New Vet - YorkieTalk.com Forums

keokis mom · 01-20-2009, 08:50 PM

I am so happy that I waited to go to a holistic vet for Keoki's 1 1/2 year old wellness exam. I had posted here that I was worried about Keoki getting over vaccinated and got some great information here on yorkie talk and wanted to thank you. Rather than go to my normal vet who was harassing me with postcards telling me my baby needed a bunch of different vaccinations i drove ( upon recommendation) to a vet an hour and a half outside of NYC. I am so grateful because I sat with the vet for 30 minutes and she fully explained everything to me - they did a titers and gave him his rabies 3 year shot. It was an amazing experience and I felt like they were out for the good of my baby and not for the money so thank you everyone who gave me advice on vaccinations- Keoki and I are so happy

I'm glad you found a vet you like and feel comfortable with.

I don't imagine your 1 1/2 hour drive brought you to Long Island???

If so, could you please PM me with the vet's name and location? Thank you.
