But I also would like to know if any vets have particular knowledge of dog breeds. Specifically of breeds that are prone to physical issues like muscle or joint problems. My current dog is rather aged and I will getting another best friend pretty soon. I would like for my next dog to be very physically fit and hardy. I will be training him or her to be a frisbee catcher.
I have a couple of breeds or possibly mixes in mind, so I would like to get some guidance regarding the their suitability for such an athletic endeavor.
Thanks. Your input is much appreciated.  |
Not experienced enough yet to recommend a vet, however in my experience I would not patronize Country Oaks Veterinary Clinic. We had a price quoted for a procedure on a pet that was $600 to $900 total including bloodwork (which we had on the day of the exam and paid something like $200 on the spot), only to be told on the day of service that the procedure could coast as much as $1,300.00 which did NOT include the bloodwork. Needless to say, we left.
