If only everyone had a Vet. like mine. People come from LA just to bring their pets to him and that is 175 miles one way.
Anyway, he only believes in the first initial shots then only every three years and he does tell you about the titer test if you want to do that first. He has the calmest demeanor I've ever seen and makes you feel he has all the time in the world to talk to you and answer "in detail" all your questions. He believes in feeding real food or if you want, a premium kibble, and even gives out recipes for different ailments. It's no wonder he is called Dr. Doolittle by everyone. He's totally amazing with the animals. My dogs just love going to see him and when I have to leave, it's either drag them out or carry them. They just don't want to leave. He has boarding on the inside with 27-7 care for $15.00 a day.
He also does not do the guessing game and then give meds. He finds the problem first.
I've been to many, many vets. over the past 48 years, and he is by far the best I've ever had.
He will never do anything just to make more money. For example........I had a little foster Yorkie that a lady handed over to rescue so we could have him operated on for liver shunt. I took him to my Vet. and he said he was too far gone to live thru the operation so we gave him back to her. She was furious, and took him to her own Vet. who had her pay $6000.00 up front. The second he put the dog under, he died. He would not refund her money.
Finding a great Vet. can be frustrating, but they are out there. If your looking for one, then ask everyone you know about their own Vet. Make appointments with the ones you think may be good, for consultation as long as it's free. Have all your questions written down. If they don't answer them to your satisfaction, then scratch that one off but keep your notes on the Vet. for future reference.
