Good vets can be hard to find, or at least ones that you are comfortable with and that talk to you as well as treat your pet.

So true.
I used the same vet for a decade. The new vets at that practice talk to people like they are stupid.
I switched vets because of that. So far there have been WAY to many vet visits for my wallet but I am happier with the new clinic.

I know, my original vet retired. Thankfully my current vet was already my second choice. He has a few fill in vets that I'm not comfortable with, and they often miss stuff. I'm also lucky my vet is very reasonable. I would be hurting at another vet clinic I'm sure, but would feel better paying as long as the care fits in with my needs.

I left my original vet clinic when a new vet took over too. They talked down to me too.

 

[pennyJo1960]

I was forced to give up my License long before I thought I would but never really wanted a private practice I am one without allot tolerance for stupid cannot fix that have not found that in most here they are good solid folks

Anyone else have experiences with Shetland sheepdog? I'm curious about them. Things I read say they are wonder, or neurotic. Which is it?
