If you are a pet owner, it is time that you got to know a veterinarian. And why, pray tell? Because, quite simply, a veterinarian is a doctor for your pets. It doesn't matter if you own one pet or if you own multiple pets, but those pets of yours need somebody to see to them when they are sick - or prevent them from getting sick.
Some pet owners believe that a visit to a veterinarian is only necessary when a pet is suffering or ill. And while you definitely want to visit a veterinarian when your pets become ill or start to show abnormal symptoms, you should also schedule routine appointments for your pets just like you schedule regular appointments for you and your family to visit a physician. There is no excuse to avoid giving your pets the utmost care at all times. Many simple problems and sicknesses can be prevented or solved easily by early detection, even in pets, so make it a priority to see your veterinarian regularly.
If you're a new pet owner, the very first thing you should do is set that appointment and take your new little (or big) buddy to a veterinarian. Let your veterinarian teach you all about your new pet. He or she will tell you everything - he will tell you how to care for your pet, what food it should be eating, how to give it good grooming and adequate exercise, the whole works. Be prepared to learn a treasure trove of information about pets - little known facts we're talking about here. Whether you have a dog, a cat, a bird or a horse, I guarantee you that a veterinarian will teach you helpful tips that you didn't already know.
I'm sure there are some of you out there who have pets but not a veterinarian, and if that is the case, then get of your butt and get your pet a vet! Interview friends or family members who own pets and look for a reputable, experienced veterinarian. Power up your Google and comb the Internet when finding the right veterinarian, or flip through the old, reliable yellow pages that still serves a lot of purposes in the Age of Cyberspace. You don't want a fresh graduate from Podunk University - you want somebody with vast experience, someone who can specialize in your kind of pet, because there are general vets and specialists as well.
If you think that making appointments for your pets to see a veterinarian is silly, then wonder whether or not you are suited to be a pet owner. You must consider your lifestyle and your ability to provide the right level of care for pets. Be honest with yourself and know that it is much better to give up a pet you already own than to keep that pet and not care for it properly.
