Owning a Pet Means Working With Veterinarians

As a pet owner, I have had my fair share of experiences with veterinarians. In addition to regular check ups and vaccinations appointments, I have dealt with emergencies along the way. And if there is one thing I've learned, it's that no two veterinarians are alike. Every experience I have had with various service providers in past years has been a unique one. I've learned that communication is extremely important, as is asking the right questions before taking my pets in for any kind of care – even a basic check up. So I decided to help other pet owners ensure quality care for their dogs and cats by starting this blog. I regularly post tips and tricks for things like vetting a new veterinarian and preparing a young pet for their first vet appointment. Thanks for stopping by!
