Do You Like Your Vet?

Posted: February 8th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »
While I have been dealing with Bella’s Cancer I have also been attending to my regular dog duties which this week has included helping a former adopter find a good vet for their most amazing mastiff boy, Bruce.  How gorgeous is he?  And… he is extremely sweet.

Bruce

Like so many dog owners, Bruce’s parents have tried many vets but have yet to find one they like and trust. They of course have an additional challenge that Bruce weighs over 140lbs (some vets have been freaked out by his size, others  have padded costs under he guise of accounting for his size) but their experience is not unique. I get asked all the time for references. I do have a few I like here on the westside of LA, but they are pretty pricey, and often difficult to get into.

Thankfully after a frantic survey of my rescue friends, I sent Bruce and his parents to Kennedy & Pilch in the San Fernando Valley where Bruce was finally properly diagnosed with diabetes and an infection. Gratefully Bruce is being treated and should be fine.

That reference was key to helping Bruce. So, to get me ready for the next call for a vet  I’d love to hear your references for a great vet.

Thanks!

Betsy & Bella
