Finding a new vet clinic for your animal to visit can be stressful. Whether you’ve relocated, recently adopted a new, furry family member or are just looking for a change from your previous provider, here are a few tips to help you get in to see the vet and get your four-legged friend’s health on the right track.
Have a Look Around
The Human Society recommends giving your potential provider a once-over before booking your first appoint. Rather than calling, stop in and speak to staff prior to making your first appointment. Here are a few things to look for before establishing you pet as a regular patient:
* How clean and well-organized is the facility?
* Is the environment as calming as possible?
* How do staff members interact with animals?
* Are appointments necessary, or can emergency cases be seen as needed?
* Are containment areas comfortable and spacious enough for pets, and are cats and dogs (and other animals) kept separate from one another?
* Is billing straightforward? Do fees fit within your budget, and are there discounts for multi-pet households or senior pet owners?
Asking about all of these things upfront will help you to get a clear picture of what kind of services your potential veterinarian provides, as well as how well they fit your family’s needs.
Know Your Alternative Options
It’s a good idea to know where other veterinarians are in your area, in case you ever need additional help, a second opinion or just a change of pace.
