Hints on Choosing a Veterinarian
|
Breed clubs can be a good source of information.
Owners of the same breed of dog as yours often have found veterinarians that are very informed on keeping dogs of that breed healthy and are on their toes about potential health problems for the particular breed. Check the yellow pages for contact information on local veterinarians. Also check the Internet for listings of veterinary association sites. Questions to Ask |
- What are the regular office hours? Are they compatible with your schedule?
- Will they accept e-mails or appointments electronically?
- Who covers the practice when the doctor is unavailable?
- Do they have after hours' emergency coverage or do they refer emergencies to a local emergency clinic?

FIVE STARS FROM DAVID I., 12/29/2017
Michelle is tremendous. I had never had to have a pet sitter's services prior to this last Thanksgiving holiday when we were going to be out of State and other family were also tied up. I had never had someone come over to my house to feed and walk my dog and take care of my cat also.
Giving your keys and an alarm code to a person you just learned about is stressful. However, after doing a lot of research and reading all of her reviews, I called Michelle and she came over 2 days later to meet with me and go over the routine.
After meeting her, I could see why other reviews were so positive. She took care of our pets that next week, texting me upon every visit and giving me updates each day on how things were going. It went flawlessly and she met and exceeded my expectations that week.
But, it was the second time we hired her that she really amazed me. We were out of town for 5 days in December and she set things up just as we did at Thanksgiving. Prior to leaving, my dog (an eleven year old golden retriever) was having some mobility issues. I had taken him into Sage Vet Hospital the Saturday before we left and they said it may just be a inner ear infection or a vertigo condition that would pass, but we scheduled a MRI for when we were to get back just to be sure. He was sent home with some meds. The next day he seemed slightly better.
Needless to say, the very first day we were gone, he took a serious turn for the worst. When our plane landed, Michelle had text me for her first visit and I knew it was not good. My dog had lost motor functions almost completely...couldn't stand without falling, was in bad shape. Michelle was very concerned and when I talked to her I could hear her genuine concern and empathy for my dogs condition. We had just gotten off a 5 hour flight...so my options were limited.
Without any persuasion, Michelle volunteered to get him over to Sage emergency again. She loaded him up in the car and drove him over there and then spent the next couple of hours with him at Sage before they admitted him to run an emergency MRI in the morning.
She stayed in regular contact with me the whole time, not once complaining about the obvious inconvenience this had created for her. My dog stayed for 2 days for extensive scans and testing.
Then when he was released, Michelle willingly offered to pick him back up and take him home. All of this while she still regularly came to the house for our cat as originally scheduled anyway.
The level of care, concern and goodwill that Michelle displayed was amazing and made me feel totally comfortable that while I was on the business trip, our dog was being cared for as well as I would have done so if I'd been home to do it myself.
She was tremendous, checking in on how things were progressing with Sage hospital each day while he was in the hospital and then giving me a full update on his condition when she brought him home.
Unfortunately, our buddy was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, but steroid meds, radiation treatments and $16,000 later, he is doing much much better...and we thank God for Michelle's help and for Trupanion pet Insurance!
While this review is obviously an extreme case of care that hopefully you will never have to experience for your pet, it should serve as an unquestionable, unbelievable and amazing example of the level of commitment, care and support you can expect from Michelle if you ever need a pet sitter. She is totally reliable and I couldn't offer a stronger endorsement of any professional that this one today for Michelle. If you look any further than her for your pet sitting/walking needs, you are missing out on working with such a great person. And to top it all off, she is very affordable also.
I will continue to call on her anytime I have pet care needs and you should also. Thank you Michelle!!!
