[NAGDU] house calls from vets?

[Bianka]

Hi Dan, 

It's really up to the vet. In the area where I live, there are quite a few vets who do it,  most of them do it because they are used to do it for horses and livestock. Our vet comes from Vietnam, I guess that's why he works on Saturdays and has no problems with house calls. As for general practitioners, it's still common over here in small towns or rural areas, especially with older people. I know that it's harder to find this service in big cities. 

Thanks and kind regards,

Bianka

When i was in Japan I had a good relationship with a vet who was starting a practice with her husband. She and her husband had worked at the former vet I went to and they would come to my home  or  I mean, the place I was staying--smilesometimes, I should try to find them again and see how they are--smile. But I know of no one here in the States. I'm just responding because Bianka mentioned that that would be a factor in choosing a vet...so, Bianka, will vets come to your home in Germany on occasion, and for that matter, do regular doctors make house calls? Here they did in the fifties and sixties but that stopped being very common here.

Personally vets that have some experience with working dogs can usually judge a bit better when the dog is fit to work after an operation. However, if it's not your first guide dog this doesn't really play a big role. Service hours and whether you can get to the vet easily or if he/she can come and see you at your home in an emergency situations are more important for me. Also, for me, I like a vet who includes wholistic treatment methods but that's a personal choice I guess.
