I was lucky enough to find a very good vet when Jasper turned one. The lady was simply awesome and was very caring toward my pets. Instantly, it clicked with me that she had my animals’ best interests in mind, worked well with them, and put in charge the way an expert vet should do: no unnecessary fooling around with money. So much so, having a vet you could trust is such an assurance when you think of the fact that your pets can never tell you when they are hurting.
Jasper has just had a slew of health issues, and once again my vet has shown great commitment. She even gave me her home phone number, which means if Jasper needs something in the night, I can ask for her help on the spot! That is rare, and I appreciate it.
Sadly, this will be her last week at the clinic, as she is moving to another province. While she assured me, I could continue to communicate with her via email for following Jasper’s health, there is this loss that quickly overtakes me from knowing she would no longer care for him. The clinic has had a lot of changes recently, and while I will still continue to use their service for now, I am no longer entirely on board with the current team of vets—except for one, and she is on maternity leave.
Now I find myself searching for a vet who can follow my methods in caring for my pets. I need someone with a holistic perspective who supports raw feeding and respects my decisions around vaccination. Those of you in the same boat may find these tips on How to find a vet who supports holistic pet care useful. Transitioning to a new vet isn’t so easy, but there are best ways to transition to a new vet that can keep that easy.
At this time I hold the hope that my vet will make a return. But if she fails to make that plan, I want to ensure Jasper receives quality care. It’s not merely a matter of convenience; it’s about making sure our dearly loved pets remain safe and well.
