Ensuring that you choose the best vet is important for the long term health and wellness of your pet. There are a few timely tips to help you find the best South Loop veterinary hospital for your “furry friend.”
Easy to contact and easy to talk to:
It is very important that you and your vet can communicate comfortably, you don’t know the names of pet disease and disorders; all you can do is try your best to explain what you observe. You want a vet that is extremely kind and understands that you have no idea what medical terms and jargon are all about. Don’t be afraid to tell your vet that you don’t understand; your pet’s health depends on decisions you will make.
Word of mouth:
The best way to find a South Loop veterinary hospital is through word of mouth. Ask people you know that own a pet where they go and why they go there. Once you gather a few names arrange to visit the facility, the vets and staff should be easy to talk to, willing to answer questions about policies they have, costs, opening hours, etc.
Support staff:
Of course the vet is extremely important but the way the hospital runs is very much in the hands of the staff. It will be the staff that spend the greatest amount of time handling your pet, make sure they handle the animal carefully and that you feel good about their skills. Don’t be turned off though if they ask you to step out of the room; many pets settle right down when they know they can’t depend on their masters.
Cleanliness:
The day may come when your pet is operated on in the facility; you want to make sure the hospital is as clean as any hospital for humans. It’s not a bad idea to ask for a tour of the facility before you decide; the best South Loop veterinarian hospital certainly should have nothing to hide.
When you find a vet that is easy to talk to you will find that he or she is willing to discuss anything that has to do with various procedures, alternates that there may be and especially, the costs.
