How to choose a vet?

by TM Maria Be a king in your own kingdom

You did not choose your doctor by chance. Why would you do it for your pet? It's about his health. A relationship of trust must be established between the veterinarian, your companion and yourself. Here are some ways to make the right choice.

A good vet is a good doctor, but also a good pedagogue. He must be able to explain to you in a clear and precise way the evils of your animal. And of course, answer all your questions. That's why, if collective practices are very advisable, stick to one veterinarian, at least initially.

The key word is trust. The current must immediately pass between you. Do not be afraid to ask him the slightest question ... otherwise it is your animal that will eventually suffer. If you can be attentive to the advice of your loved ones, do not give too much importance to the "on-said". Make your own opinion.

Another criterion of choice, and it is of importance, the distance. It is indeed impractical to travel several tens of kilometers at each visit. Think close.

Other questions can also determine your choice:

· Is the veterinary clinic well located and open outside office hours?

· Is it attended by specialists in animal medicine or veterinary school interns? "The willingness to discuss serious cases between colleagues offers guarantees of seriousness and professionalism" can be read in the book "A dog for dummies".

· Does the clinic have an emergency department?

· Finally, if you have a ferret, a snake, in short what is known as a "new pet", make sure that the professional you have chosen is in control of everything related to their health.

Which veterinarian for which pet?

Here are the different types of existing veterinarians for your pet:

· If you have a rabbit, a pet pig, a pet chicken or any farm animal, you will find what is called a rural veterinarian. They are practitioners who take care of farm animals, such as cattle, pigs, poultry and rabbits. Most of the time, he works directly with farmers.

· If you have birds, turtles, guinea pigs or any other exotic animal, it is better to go to a clinic where a veterinarian for exotic birds and animals will take care of your animals at best. Veterinarians for dogs and cats rarely have the skills to properly care for these animals. Rarely does not mean ever, but be careful.

· If you have horses, look for an equine veterinarian. He is a professional who works only with horses, especially with racehorses.

· The canine veterinarian. This veterinarian is most represented in France. Presented as the veterinarian of all pets, he will treat your dogs, cats, fish etc. Nevertheless, pay attention once again to his area of expertise and his level of specialization as some canine veterinarians are not qualified enough to properly treat exotic animals such as turtles, guinea pigs or snakes.
