I feel a lot more concerned about the quality of the vet than I do issues such as whether it is a cat only clinic. There can be bad vets who choose to operate cat only clinics. My cats do not mind dogs or their barking, but I don't hear significant amounts of barking at the vet anyway. Now at th

My vet that gave up her practice was just so 'perfect' that it's hard to handle changing. I HATE changing vets. My vet I had years ago told me about declaws that she was running a 'business' and they did promote the declaws. It was easy for me to leave there when I found out about an all

many places don't HAVE cat-only clinics, so it's not even an option i've worked with both, can't say that either kind were intrinsically BETTER. the chemistry between vet and cat, the openness to new ideas and learning is what's paramount to me--i've seen pompous, know-everything, don't-talk-to

1. No importance. 2. No importance. 3. Very important, I have actually never had a vet that did this, I was always welcome to be in the room with the cat. My current vet does temp and weight in the back and that's about it. On 9/28/07, catatonya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How important is it
