I actually went and interiewed about 6 before she even arrived. Being a Dane I wanted to be 100% confident that they knew what she was about... I chose one in town ... 2 of the vets were cold and stand offish and i nearly wrote them off but the female vet there was like yours, on the floor and at Chels level & she knew her stuff. I also found one close by. As Danes are prone to bloat & gastric torsion also with snakes in Australia I wanted one available for emergencies. Both ph numbers are on Chels tags (not mine) Price was another consideration. At two vets as soon as they knew Chels was a Dane they doubled most of the prices. The one I chose was roughly in the middle, not the cheapest not the dearest. I bit of it came down to gut instincts ... I watched the vet (and staff) interact with others, how they treated Chels and I. Then I was lucky enough to have a woman at work who is a trainer and had local knowledge...
