All vets are different just like all dogs are different. The right vet is the one that is most comfortable to your dog. For our 87lb German Shepard its Dr. Ross. He is the only vet she likes. They have another vet working in the office, a woman and our dog does not like her at all. Dr. Ross talks to her as he is examining her and makes her calm. She does have to be muzzled but thats with any vet, its a law because of liability reasons. Just like if you took your pet to the groomers, by law they have to muzzle them for certain things like trimming nails but for no more than 15 minutes. For us, we have to have the right vet. Our dog is not friendly with random people and other animals so when we go we have to make sure there isn't any other dogs or people in the waiting room. We wait outside and they come out to get us when ready so that we don't make anyone or any dog uncomfortable and I like that. The vet tech Chris is exceptional, you can tell his love for animals by the way he speaks to them. Both Chris and Dr. Ross have no problem lifting our dog on the table. Recently we were there because she had a really bad ear infection and had to be sedated because she was in so much pain. Dr. Ross and the tech got down on the floor in the exam room to make her more comfortable while they cared for her ear. I don't know of any vets personally that would do that. But I will say this to all who are looking for vet and going off reviews, most people who have had a good experience don't bother writing a review. Mostly the people who have had bad experiences write them so you really can't go off of that. Every business, facility, doctor or vet has had at least one or more people say that had a bad experience. Its all based on opinion. There is no harm in trying out different vets to see which one best fits your fuzzy family member. read more
