And for at-risk women and children we also offer our Lydia House shelter on a referral basis only (no walk-ins). For help or more information call (562) 591-1292 ext. 301

It would also be helpful if you would include cost. :)
I would like to get an idea of things before picking out a vet or getting a dog at all. I'm a first time pet owner, so I don't already have a vet.



Answer
All good questions for the vet.


Sick pets need vets and you may find yourself in a
position of finding a new one. If you are a first
time pet owner or have moved to a new area you
might want a little help finding that vet, before you
need that vet. Get recommendations from friends or
neighbors that have pets. Find out why they like the
vet they use. Ask at the local dog park or beach. Look
them up online, see if you can find reviews. Visit the
places recommended, see for yourself what the place
is like. Is the place clean, odor free? Is the staff
attentive? How do they relate to the animals? Before
going make a list of questions you will want to ask so
you don't forget. 1-How long have you been in practice?
2- How many vets are on staff here? 3- Will the same
vet see my pet each time or will I get a different vet
without notice? 4- How long have the other vets been
in practice? 4- What are your emergency procedures
during business hours? After business hours? Arrange
for a tour. Ask their procedure in case of an emergency
during business hours and during off business hours.
One thing I would not ask a vet about is to recommend
a pet food. Vets, for the most part, are not nutritionalists.
They will generally recommend what ever brand of food
they stock and it is not necessarily a good quality food.
Please, research your pets food! If possible meet the vet(s).
You want a vet, and staff, you feel comfortable with and
confident about. When you go for that first appointment
does the Doctor listen to what you have to say? Does the
vet answer the questions you ask. Does he/she explain
things to your satisfaction, understanding? How does the
vet talk to your pet? Does the vet use your pets name?
Also you should communicate your expectations to the
doctor. If you want the vet to do what he/she feels
necessary to find the problem, tests, ex-rays, say so. If
you are on a tight budget, say so. The vet should know
whether or not you can afford that MRI that can run a
couple of thousand dollars.

If you need a specialist and have not yet found a vet you
trust to give you a referral call the VMA
(veterinary medical association) for a specialist referral in
your area. Or look the VMA up on line and check out
their list.

If you need low cost vet care, if that is your primary
concern there is hope. When it comes to your pets
health you want the best possible care. If low cost is
the best possible you can do there is a way to find it.
1-Start with your local Humane Society or local animal
shelters. They are probably working with vets that
charge a reasonable fee. Some will even let you bring
your pet to them for a low cost spay/neuter.
2-Vet offices are neighborhood businesses. If you find
a vet in an upper class neighborhood, expect to pay
premium prices. If you find a vets office in a poor
neighborhood the prices will most likely be lower.
3-Pick up the yellow pages and the phone. Have a pad
and paper to keep track of who you call and their answer.
Call vet offices and ask two questions. How much do you
charge for a spay on a 40 pound dog? How much do you
charge for a general exam? Those two questions will
probably tell you who is the most reasonable.
