4 Things You Should Look for When Selecting a Vet

Having a pet can really create a positive change in someone’s life. They bring joy to all pet owners because pets can love unconditionally. May pet owners can attest to the fact that their pets are some of the best stress relievers out there.

But it takes more than just feeding them and walking them to make you a responsible pet owner. You want to make sure that you also take them to the veterinarian to make sure that they are healthy. If you still looking for the perfect veterinarian for your beloved pet, here are some of the things that you need to look for in your search.

1. Choose someone with good credentials – if you are a true pet lover, you will consider your pet as more than just a pet but also a member of your family. And family members deserve the best. Check to see when and where they got their training as a veterinarian. There are online databases like the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners and you can check whether your potential vet will be there. You can also ask if they have areas of specialty that can come in handy in the future.

2. Make sure their clinic has been accredited and has good facilities – it’s not just your future veterinarian that you need to check, but also their clinic. Check to make sure that it’s accredited, like Pharr Road Animal Hospital in Atlanta, which has been accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). An AAHA accreditation means that the clinic or hospital will be able to deliver quality veterinary care. You can be assured that they will have the best facilities that can cater to all your needs as a pet-owner.

3. Check also what the staff in the clinic is like – your veterinarian is not the only person you will be dealing with in the clinic. In fact, in many cases, the staff is who you will be talking to. Even when just calling them on the phone, you can check if the staff sounds professional and competent. Schedule a tour of the clinic where the staff can explain and take you to the different facilities if possible. Prepare as many questions as you can and do not hesitate to ask them because you want to know that you are getting the best possible service that you will be paying for. Make sure to have enough information on their schedule, on whether they can take in emergency cases even in ungodly hours and of course, make sure you are aware of the fees that you will be paying.

4. Choose someone that you feel comfortable with – at the end of the day, trust your instinct. When you bring your pet to the clinic, check to see how the staff and of course the veterinarian handles them. You want someone that your pet or pets will also feel comfortable handling them. There may come a time when they might need to stay at the clinic for observation or recovery so think about whether you are comfortable having them stay with that clinic before you make your decision.
