Cooper is my first dog, I really didn't know what to expect. I had just taken him out of the shelter and he was scared of everything (He still kind of is). When he came to me I took him to the "highest rated vet clinic in town". It took a couple trips to get through his exams. Then came his neuter. I was a client of this clinic's for about a month before the neuter disaster. After that I went and found a new vet.
And dont worry about it. I know better now, but at that time I really had no idea what I was doing lol.
Honestly, I made the same mistake with the first vet I took Tucker to. I went there based on a glowing review from a coworker. I took Tucker there the day after we got him. He was my first dog too. Tucker hated him the minute this guy came into the room, and Tucker was only 10 weeks. The guy goes on to tell me how he does not like Tucker's temperment, and that I should pin my dog to let him know who is boss. ***! I was almost in tears! I trusted my gut, and went back to my old vet the next day, where we took our cat at the time. (That vet was just ok, and becoming very expensive, hence why I decided to try this new vet). Tucker was completely different with our old vet.
Tucker taught me a couple of valuable lessons. One was to trust my gut, the other was to trust him when it comes to judging people. Cooper knew the deal with your old vet from day one. Unfortunately, it takes us humans longer to figure it out...
Oh yeah, and the coworker who recommended the idiot vet...I thought he had yellow labs based on the pictures on his desk for years. It turned out they were shaved goldens!:doh::doh::doh: What can I say, I am an idiot...
So glad you are going somewhere else now!
