I compiled a list of vets within a 10 mile radius, then called each office to see if the vet would be willing to do a free visit to let me "interview" them. I brought one of my dogs with me to each interview, and watched how the vet interacted with my dog. I had a list of questions that were important points for me, and we talked about those. I evaluated how the vet interacted with me as well. Then, I picked the vet that interacted best with both my dog and myself, and best answered the questions I had for them.

I adore the vet I have. My only issues with her are that she's always super busy and that she doesn't have a digital xray machine, so I have to go to a different vet clinic to have my puppy's hips and elbows xrayed for her health certifications.
