We are lucky to have some incredible veterinarians that serve our little valley.
So, which one is right for you and your critters?
- Who treats exotics?
- Who specializes in veterinary ophthalmology?
- Who is open on the weekend?
- Who can treat my hens?
I sent out a survey to our local veterinarians and am sharing with you any information I received from them here so you can make the most informed decision. I’ve also included handy links to reviews on the most popular sites.
Remember, choosing the right veterinarian for your pet is crucial to their health and longevity. So don’t choose a vet based on proximity or who is right for your neighbor. Do your research, read the reviews, schedule a meet and greet, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Get a feel for the doctor and how he or she interacts with your little one, then make your decision. It’s an important one!
