    I also used to pick my vets according to location but sometimes it's worth driving a bit to get a really good vet. My current vet is about 20-25 minutes away from me depending on traffic but I don't mind because it's a wonderful hospital. The previous ones were only about 5-10 minutes away. It also helps if you can get good referrals from friends or neighbors. Then you already know what to expect. Good luck.

    Leave that place and don't look back. I'm surprised that she has any patients at all, with those nasty reviews!!!

    You wouldn't go to a doctor for yourself if the practice was such a dirty and unfriendly place - would you?? The same should go for your pets. They deserve better!

    Agreed. Get out of there fast. I, the hooman, changed docs a lot until I found my perfect match. I'd do the same for my pets. My vet service cleans the room after each pet visit. I've seen it. OK, they're a tad expensive, but I love them. If any of my vets pulled my dog's ears, they'd be sitting on the floor flat on their butt. Great that you got the medical records! Smart thinking!

    I would change... it's quite easy... not as hard as one would think. New vets love to hear about your animals and they get in the groove real fast. I also notice that new vets give different inputs on your dogs... so they can help you find a problem that your other vet may have dismissed if you are having a problem. (Like my new vet found out Honda had bone cancer when the other vet just dismissed it)

    Just switch. You don't owe them an explanation. I've switched several times and I'm always glad when I do.
