When it comes to time to choose a veterinarian, it can be difficult to determine whether or not you’ve made a smart decision for your pet. Fortunately, the doctors at Fairport Animal Hospital of Monroe County, NY, have compiled a list of traits to look for in your prospective vet.

3 Things To Look For In A Veterinarian

Up-To-Date Technology & Training

When evaluating a veterinarian clinic, stop in and find out if the facility is clean and organized, as well as if the front desk staff seems well-equipped to handle scheduling and medical records for your pet. You should then ask your potential veterinarian if they’re certified by the appropriate medical boards and committed to continuing their education.

Also, inquire about the plans they have to stay current with imaging and other evolving technologies. It’s crucial to find a pet care professional who is dedicated to mastering state-of-the-art techniques.

Above & Beyond Service

Once the basics are taken care of, look for a vet who is thorough and conscientious with every pet that enters their doors. So much of veterinary medicine is about preventative care, and you need a doctor who will go the extra mile to detect warning signs for future illnesses.

Personalized Connection With Your Pet

Finally, you want to find a veterinarian who makes an effort to connect with your pet. Even if everything else is in order, a doctor who doesn’t connect with your pet can have a significant negative impact on the health and happiness of your pet.
