Choosing a Vet

When deciding on a veterinarian, your initial reaction is generally your best guide. First, check references, ask for referrals and visit the practice. Find out what services are available, i.e. Boarding, Grooming, Hospitalization, 24-Hour Emergency Care.

Veterinary medicine is constantly changing and new techniques are continually emerging to offer better health care for our pets.

Approximately four billion people or 80 percent of the world population use herbal medicine and 1/3 of all Americans use alternative therapies to enhance their own health care. Estimates indicate that Americans visit alternative health care practitioners more often than physicians and spend over 14 billion dollars doing so. Annual sales of vitamins and herbs in the United States alone exceeds four billion dollars. This trend is also occurring in veterinary medicine and the demand for alternative pet health care is growing. Some veterinary schools are now offering courses in alternative medicine as part of their curriculum. These include Colorado State University, North Carolina State University, The Univeristy of Florida, Tuskegee University and the University of Prince Edward Island. Visit veterinary medical associations and websites that can refer you to qualified practictioners worldwide.

How to get the Best from your Vet

Work together with your cat’s vet as a partner in your pet’s healthcare team.When your cat is sick, jot down the most important facts about his or her problem and keep updated progress reports.

Notes should include:

*Your cat’s age and history.

*Signs of the problem, the date they began, how long they have lasted and updates on his condition.

*Any medications your cat is currently taking.
