The
Assertive Veterinarian– This type of veterinarian tells
you what you need to know about the health of your pet regardless of how you
will feel about the information that is shared. Whether it is good news or
bad, it will be told.

you see is what you get. Upfront.
Cons- May
appear pompous and/or disrespectful to people who are not used to that
personality
The
Yes Man veterinarian- This veterinarian will allow a client
dictate how they should treat their pet. Treatment plans may be based on the
client’s research from the internet or other not so reliable sources.

veterinarian may appear more appealing since they are more agreeable.
Cons- This will not represent the best care for their pets. It
may compromise care for the sake of pleasing the client What type of

The
Offer everything Veterinarian–This
type of veterinarian will recommend everything possible to find out
what is wrong with your pet.
Pros- It
increases the likelihood you can find what is going on with your pet.
Cons- Your
veterinary visit will probably be more expensive with this veterinarian
The
minimalist veterinarian- This
type of veterinarian looks at symptoms that your pet has and tries to
get away with treating the symptoms conservatively. They will only add
treatment and/or diagnostics based on the response to the treatment.
Pros- Your
veterinary bill will be generally lower with this veterinarian.
Cons- Serious
illnesses can be missed because of lack of diagnostics. There is a greater
chance for your pets to be misdiagnosed.
The always available veterinarian–This
veterinarian you can reach anytime of the day either by phone or by other forms
of contact Pros- These
are obvious as an owner will like the easy access of their veterinarian at all
times. Cons- There are no cons
to the client, but there can be a negative effect on the veterinarian’s family
or social life.
Most pet owners want a little of each type of
veterinarian I mentioned above. But the best veterinarian will
have the interest of the health of your pet above anything else. The point of
this article is to emphasize that some pet owners and veterinarian are more compatible together than others. A
good relationship requires a connection just like any other relationship to
maximize the benefit of their pets.
