I drive about an hour to take my dogs to the vet I use. It took me a few years to find her and now I've been going to her for 7 years I think. You can call them up and ask questions or go in and see how you like them. With my vet I know if I had an emergency I could call her at any hour and she would meet me at her clinic. I also know she will not scam me for money and is honest with me about options and wether they are really a good choice or not.
