[nagdu] Checking out a new vet

[Jody Ianuzzi]

Several years ago I was unhappy with the vet I was taking my dog to.  She was brisk and the office was large with large bills to match.  I started calling around to other vets to find out what their rates were at their offices.  One vet actually answered the phone himself.  His rates were great and when I took my dog there I was delighted with the personal service and great rates.  Because he did most things himself with only one assistant he could charge less and the personal service was very refreshing.

I would go with the vet you feel most comfortable with even if it is less convenient.
