Pets quickly become family members, as soon as you bring the cute kitten or puppy into your home when they are but a few weeks old. They are cute and play their way into our hearts. It can happen, too, with an older pet, or one you adopt from the rescue center; they bring us happiness and joy and we bond with them.

We give them shelter and food, we take them to the vet when they are unwell or need their annual checkup and vaccinations, and we make sure they are treated to proper medical care at all times. This includes procedures such as spaying and neutering, emergency care when they are injured in a cat or dog fight, or when they get hit by a car, for example.

That is why we take them to the animal clinic that is as necessary for them as hospitals are for us, their owners. Fortunately there are animal hospitals, vets’ rooms and other health care facilities for our pets everywhere these days, in the most remote towns and regions and in, say, Greeley in Colorado.

This helps all pet owners tremendously to know they have choices and services almost on their doorstep – especially if they know a specific ...
... veterinary service in their region is known to be knowledgeable, experienced and great with animals – also when they are not well and need attention and treatment.

We have certain expectations of the vets we take our pets to. Firstly, you want to know you are dealing with a service known for being professional and attentive to your pet’s needs. As is the case with many other professions, it can take years for a veterinary service to establish themselves well and to be considered a preferred clinic. Experience is a great teacher – also for vets, even with good training.

Their reputation must be such that one has no hesitation in taking one’s pets to them. A good reputation is built upon various corner stones, such as service, knowledge, spot-on diagnoses, good treatment, recovery of the pet and also how the vet offers preventative measures to make sure pets do not fall victim to certain conditions in the future such as hip dysplasia and certain heart conditions, for example.

Pet owners with experience of what veterinarians should be like will tell you that the moment they are made to feel welcome by a clinic, they are very likely to stay with this service in the future. You want to make sure you visit a clinic where staff are well presented and where rooms are spotless and hygienic, and equipment modern and good to be used for all – also advanced – procedures.

You want to know that the vet takes an interest in you – and your pet, obviously – and that he/she will keep proper records, remind you of your pet’s next checkup or wellness test. You want to know that the clinic keeps you in the loop at all times when your animal goes in for surgery, for example, and you want to know that your pet, even though they will never form the same bond with it as you do, is important and that they offer it the attention and treatment it deserves. Communication is important to help the pet owner handle the stress brought on by the animal’s health issues.

It is important, too, to be convinced that the animal clinic whose services you consider receive positive feedback from other pet owners in the region. Talk to your neighbors or owners of pets and ask them for their opinion. It is often a great idea as well to visit the website of the service you are considering, to find out what other pet owners have to say about them. Every pet owner wants to know that they are dealing with the best.

The above offers some good pointers for those that may feel unsure.
