Default What Vet should I use

Hello you all. About to move to Santa Domingo area in October.
Please indulge me because I know it has been discussed before, but, what vet should I use for my schnoodle when I get there. Close by and know what they are doing. While we are at it where are the closest Pet ER's. Thank you for your responses.

We use Dr. Porter Wildwood animal clinic(?) on route 301 at the shopping center with ACE hardware, very pleased with his care for our cats, but I see dogs in the more often than cats.
I will leave it to others for emergency care as fortunately we have not had to use this type of service.

Dr Leah Girard..Oxford Animal Hospital on 301, just north of 466, behind Geos.

She originally was our vet at Colony. She left and started her own practise. She is wonderful. Started her practice and lots of her patients went there.

Dr. Porter is our pug's vet, too. We love him & the staff is very kind & helpful.

We use the Animal Clinic of Leesburg and have had great results. They are busy so calling for an appointment.

Another fan of Dr Porter. Took care of our Maine Coon after going to a few other vets in the area. After spending $$$ to keep weight on and changing vets, he said that cats can't ingest B12 orally, and started him on B12 shots monthly. He started eating again, and put back all his weight. He also discovered later on that he developed diabetes, but said that giving him insulin for a while would control the diabetes, and could potentially make it go away, and it did. Another great thing about him are his reasonable prices in comparison to the other large practice in the area.
