Do you want to know how to find the most suitable veterinarian for your furry friend? We tell you how to do it in this post.

How to choose a veterinarian

Your care is essential for your pet to live healthy and happy, but the figure of the veterinarian will also play an important role in your life. It will be the person to whom you will have to go every time your dog is sick, or need a vaccine, or when you need advice to take care of it as best as possible. Therefore, you need to be a person of confidence, professional and that is aware of everything your pet needs.

You will leave your pet's life in their hands, so do not choose it lightly! Do you want to know how to choose a veterinarian easily and successfully? Follow these tips:

Do not wait to need it

If you are thinking of waiting for the critical moment when your pet needs medical attention to find the ideal veterinarian, you are in error. Don’t wait! Finding the perfect veterinarian takes time, effort and a process, so it is important that you start looking before your pet needs it.

In fact, if you are thinking about adopting a pet but you do not have it yet, we would recommend that you start to evaluate veterinarians already. So when you have your little hairy you will have your chosen doctor.

Find recommendations

Did you know that 60% of pet owners go to the friend's pet veterinarian? That is, in the world of veterinary medicine, recommendations play a very important role. Satisfied customers are a good guarantee of quality and good service that you must take into account. If you have friends, relatives or acquaintances who already have pets, do not hesitate to ask which veterinarian they go and what impressions they have!

If you have acquired (or are going to do) a pet of a shelter or an animal shelter, it is most likely that they recommend you to a veterinarian who has an associate. That is a good help, but be sure to inform yourself well about that professional and draw your own conclusions before accepting their services.

If you are looking for a new veterinarian because you are going to move, ask your current veterinarian for advice! You probably have contacts and can recommend one to you.

It is highly recommended that your veterinary clinic be near your home. Thus the journey will be shorter, which is important especially in case of emergency.

Do an interview

Once you have chosen a list of suitable veterinarians, do not hesitate to do telephone interviews and ask them any doubts you have or aspects that you consider important, such as:

·        Hours of service.

·        Is there an emergency service? Do they attend at home?

·        Do you have many clients? Is there usually a line at the clinic?

·        Do you offer additional services (hairdressing, surgery, store, etc).

·        Average cost of visits, reviews, medications, vaccines ...

·        If you have pet insurance, do you have an agreement with the company?

·        Is there only one veterinarian in the clinic or several?

·        If you have an exotic pet or an unusual breed, do you have knowledge and experience with it?

Also, add any question that you consider important or interesting for your particular case. Do not be ashamed! We are sure that they will respond to everything without problem, the veterinarians want the best for the animals! It is very important to learn well.
