Provide your pet with good home care.

Follow your veterinarian’s pet care instructions.

Keep your pet current on preventive vaccinations and medications.

Be honest with your veterinarian about your finances; consider getting pet insurance.

Be sensitive to the stresses faced by veterinary staff.

Be patient with the urgent care needs that your veterinary staff are dealing with; if you must, reschedule your appointment.

ABOVE ALL, recognize veterinary staff who “go above and beyond” to care for you and your pet; write a positive review on social media or send a “thank you.” It could save a life.
