That is fantastic! I love that idea. Hopefully, my vet won't retire any time soon, but if he ever did.
Come to think of it, I have had to go to a few other hospitals over the years when our doctor was on vacation or after hours, and the other hospitals staff's demeanor along with the vet's personality and professionalism (or lack thereof) really made an impression.
In all these years, there is only one I would even remotely consider for "just in case".

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.
