Communication With Your Vet During Exams
Communication with your vet is a key ingredient in your dog's health. During your dog exam, remind your vet of any prior health issues your dog has had. Your vet may not remember each detail of prior treatment.
Also tell your vet how your dog is behaving, eating, drinking, eliminating, etc. All of these may seem minor details to you, but your vet may hear something that's not quite right, which can lead to a health problem you might not even be aware of. Don't be afraid to ask questions, either.
If you have vet insurance, they may have a list of preferred vets in your area. If not, ask friends and family who they recommend, or check with your local animal shelter for vets they recommend. Some vet insurance companies require you to see registered providers. If you're not happy with that provider, be sure to let your vet insurance company know.
