I was wondering if there is anyone beside me, who is not completely satisfied with his/her current vet? I took my last dog to the same vet his entire life, based on a recommendation. While he was better than other vets I'd been to with my other dogs, I took him there because I couldn't find a better alternative. That's not saying much. When I got my first cat from the shelter, I began using the vet that spayed her. However, there were three vets and they were inconsistent in their diagnoses and treatment protocols. Furthermore, they would not use Pure Vax.
The vet my cats see now uses Pure Vax but again, I don't feel like we're on the same page with everything. About 90% of the vets in mu area don't offer Pure Vax. After a couple of bad incidents with 24 hour emergency vet hospitals, I will do everything in my power NOT to have to visit one again. With that in mind, I don't want a vet that's too far away, in case of an emergency. From my experience, it seems like a good vet is as difficult to find as a good doctor. My mother used to tell me about an old country vet that treated her dogs years ago. They don't exist anymore, at least in my area.
Do all of you really feel comfortable with your veterinarians?
