2. Doesrepparttar vet offer a full surgery suite with on-site lab work? X-rays? Ultrasound? Ifrepparttar 125703 vet has to send all lab tests to an outside agency to be processed, you may be getting popped with additional charges because those tests aren’t being performed or processed in-house.

3. Get a fee schedule. Cost is usually one ofrepparttar 125704 biggest considerations for dog owners, and it should be lowest onrepparttar 125705 list of importance, at least in my mind. Not because cost isn’t important – of course it is, but - if you have a vet that you’re happy with – who gives your dogrepparttar 125706 best care you can possibly find in your area – does paying a little extra for that care really matter inrepparttar 125707 long run?

4. Check outrepparttar 125708 physical characteristics ofrepparttar 125709 facility. Is it clean, or does it smell? Arerepparttar 125710 ads or magazines inrepparttar 125711 waiting room current? (That may not sound important, but ifrepparttar 125712 staff and doctors aren’t keeping up-to-date onrepparttar 125713 latest and greatest information, this may not berepparttar 125714 place you want to bring your dog.)

5. Communication – by that I mean how well does your vet communicate with you? Will he or she explainrepparttar 125715 condition or illness in terms that you can easily understand, or do they try to confuse you with high-tech or medical jargon? A good vet will go over treatment options with you, explain necessary tests, review x-rays or test results, give complete and clear instructions for home care or further testing requirements, etc.

Take your time to do a complete and thorough evaluation before choosing a new vet. Your dog’s life literally depends on what choice you make. Make it a careful one. http://tinyurl.com/6u2cj

Try to make your dog's training so fun that it becomes his or her favorite activity. This will make learning much easier and more enjoyable.

Most dogs love to play! You can make your dogrepparttar happiest just by spending some time with them, giving your undivided attention each day. Without this, your dog will feel ignored, bored, or think they're in trouble. When this happens they're more likely to chew, tear things up, and not listen to you.
