Write down your questions ahead of time — and bring them with you.
Always bring the primary caretaker to the appointment (or have them on the phone)
How you transport your pet matters — think ahead about stress, sedation, and comfort.
A good vet team supports you — there’s no place for pushy sales tactics.
