we hope to provide the best for our pooches and we mostly blindly follow all instructions given to us by the veterinarian but how do we know if the doctor is good for our pets or if he is doing a good job selecting a vet can be tricky dogs cant tell you if they are feeling better it takes a very experienced and qualified vet to diagnose problems and offer the right treatmentmost animals have have a very strong coping mechanism and will not show signs of illness until they are extremely unwell keeping this in mind we should immediately seek medical attention if we see any symptoms consider a vet close to home as it helps during emergenciesyou might also need to check if the doctor is available after clinic hours in case your pet needs attention late at night it will be nice if the doctor is available for home visits and definitely available on phone for emergenciesit is important to do your research read reviews or talk to pet parents that have been consulting the doctor visit the clinic to see how the doctors and the staff treat other animalsif an animal is unwell its immunity drops and if the environment is not hygienic in the clinic there are chances of the pet getting more infections small clinics might not be well equipped make sure to choose a clinic that has highend equipment this will save you time and you will not have to run to a different clinic for xrays and scanschecking the qualification of the doctor is important the veterinarian should have at least a masters in veterinarian sciences or animal husbandry you should also consider checking his experience once you select a vet avoid changing as it is always advised to stick to one doctor they know the medical history of the dog and doctors tend to take better care of their regular clientsalso changing vets in the middle of a treatment can cause complicationscat factsthere are cats who have survived falls from over 32 storeys 320 metres onto concretea group of cats is called a clowdercats cant taste sweetnessa cat has five toes on his front paws and four on the back unless hes a polydactyl an anomaly that causes the cat to be born with more than the usual number of toesare you a proud pet parent have a cute cat story to share maybe your guinea pig is giving you trouble whatever is your creature companion we are here to listen to you send your photos queries and stories to timeslifetimesgroupcomswati tandon
