Are you planning to add a four-legged friend to your household? Perhaps you already own a pet, but you need a new veterinarian due to a move or other circumstances.
When the search is on, don't leave the care of your beloved pet to just any vet. Take the time to compare vets and select a clinic that best suits both your needs and those of your pet. This includes evaluating potential vets and their pet care team, including techs and other support staff. Location and fees are important considerations, as well.
Word-of-mouth is usually your best bet when it comes to pet healthcare. Ask friends, family members, and neighbors with pets for their recommendations. Other good sources are groomers, pet sitters, dog trainers, kennel personnel, and animal shelters. Ask them to describe the care they receive at their vet, what they like about them, and what, if any, issues they may have experienced.
Do online local searches for "Animal Hospitals" and "Veterinarians" to narrow down your options. Note location and hours and research staff members. Look for American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accreditation to ensure compliance with quality care standards. Search for any online reviews.
After you've gotten recommendations and done your research, it's time to visit your top choices. Use this checklist to screen your options.
With these essential tips and guidelines, you are much more likely to locate a veterinary facility that you and your pet will be happy with for many years to come.
