I tried a couple different ones, and the best one came from a friends' referral. Ask around, that is certainly the best way to find one. I am very pleased with the vet I have now. He is more holistic and supports titers rather than insisting on immunizations, and doesn't charge an exam fee every time they come for something simple like an immunization. I feel like I have finally found one of the few good ones out there that is still in it for their patients and not for the amount of money they can get out of us. :)
| I also am using a holistic/integrative vet who supports titers vs. vaccines and I am much happier. I feel like the vet cares about the health of the dogs - not the number on the bill. To find a local holistic vet, you can search the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association AHVMA - Home or just google 'holistic vet' and your location. I interviewed about 4 vets before finding the one I am with now. I think, like a pediatrician, you MUST be comfortable with your baby's dr. You speak for the dog, on their behalf and you should feel comfortable and have a good repertoire.
My vet also doesn't charge for every little thing and she spends as much time as I want answering questions, too.
I am still appalled by his Tear Test!! Poor Baby! |
