In my opinion, if you think your vet is only in it for the money you should find another vet.

We went to a few before we found one we were happy with. He is certainly an animal lover and always gives our pets a good fuss before he examines them which I think is a good sign. All to many try to dive in with a thermometer or start flipping them round without introducing themselves to the animal first. He still gives them a love everytime he seems them now, even Milo likes him, and he generally hates vets!

Our cats have been very ill and because they were there so often they started just charging us for medication and not for consultations. He also rang us out of hours between appointments to check how they were getting on etc. Yes he gets paid but he went beyond the call of duty for us and I think that is a very admirable trait in a vet.

A lot of vets are just in it for the money and that really does pee me off but they are not all bad.
