Finding a local veterinarian is just as important as finding a family health care provider for your human loved ones. When choosing your family’s veterinarian, use the same care and criteria that you would in selecting a physician or dentist. Think about what is important to you. Location, office hours, payment options, and the range of medical services provided are all important considerations. For many pet owners, the most important factor is the friendliness and commitment of doctors and staff. Your goal should be to find the veterinarian who you believe can best meet your pet’s medical needs and with whom you feel comfortable in establishing a long-term veterinarian-client-patient relationship. There are many veterinarians in the Harrison County area. A few tips may be to ask one of your animal-owning friends, inquire into breed clubs, search on the Internet for a veterinarian near you or ask your current veterinarian if you are relocating to another area.
