If you’ve had your cat for a long time, you probably have a long relationship with your vet. However, there are times when finding a new vet is necessary, such as when you move or your current vet retires.
You may decide to have your vet transfer your cats for additional reasons. Here are some tips to help you choose the best vet for your needs and your cat’s health.
Find out what is most important to you first. Would you like to be present when the vet examines your cat, or would you prefer to let him out and retrieve him later? Do you prefer evenings or weekends? Are you satisfied with the clinic’s emergency services?
Does your payment and billing policy fit your needs? Friends’ suggestions are useful for narrowing down the options. On the other hand, your cousin’s favorite bathroom may not be right for you, so try to interview those who are interested before claiming your cat’s toilet.
Even if you have to pay for an office visit, it pays to know that your cat’s life and health are in good hands.
You don’t have to be friends with your vet, but you should have faith in your vet’s knowledge and skills. You should feel comfortable talking to him about caring for your cat. He needs to listen to you and answer your questions.
Ultimately, the cats have to enjoy it. Find someone else if you don’t like your veterinarian or his approach to care, or if the atmosphere or policies of the practice where you work make you feel uncomfortable.
If your cats aren’t used to dogs or are afraid of them, a waiting room full of rabbits can make vet visits even more stressful. Consider switching to a cat for exercise, if necessary.
