Most new pet owners pick their veterinarians by looking through the phone book and calling up the one that's closest to their place of residence. And after a few appointments, if for any reason at all, the owner is uncomfortable with their new vet, be it for his manners or maybe the advice he gives just seems wrong, most will stick with the same doctor anyway. Few people think to change vets, fewer still think to take the time to find the right one in the first place.

Here are few suggestions on finding the right vet for you and our dog in the hopes of making the procedure a little easier, and future health procedures more comfortable for everybody involved.
