Sorry you lost your job

I'm really picky about who I take my dogs to..

-I look for someone who doesn't just provide medication when a dog has a problem.. but someone who will look for the source of the problem. For instance, Kai had a skin problem that wouldn't go away. Instead of just giving medications to hopefully make it go away, he asked us to eliminate certain things from his diet to see if it was food allergies. And sure enough, everything cleared up after we stopped feeding certain foods.

-If they try to sell me Hills (or whatever he sells at the clinic), I'm outta there!

-If they know about raw or homecooked diets then AWESOME!! Apparently vets don't learn very much about dog nutrition during their schooling.. and whatever they do learn, most of it is presented by people from Hills (well.. according to various people I've talked to).

-Cleanliness.. obviously

-The attitude of the staff. If they're not happy, then something's wrong..

-And of course, the attitude of the vet. Our vet always baby talks to Kai. Kai's normally terrified of men but he doesn't mind our vet. He even wags his tail when he walks in sometimes.
