No two ways about it - if you own a pet, you better start looking for a veterinarian. Why? Simply because your pets need a pet doctor like you need a "regular" doctor. Don't matter if you're an owner of a solitary pet or owner of pets-a-many - you need to research and spend quality time and some money ensuring they stay healthy.
Many owners of pets think of a veterinarian as that goofy-looking guy in glasses who tends to severely ill or suffering pets. Okay, so he may not always be goofy-looking (or a male vet, for that matter), but that's right - you need to see a veterinarian if your pets start to act and feel strange - still, remember that pets are living beings like humans are, and like us, they also need a routine appointment with a medical professional, or in this case, veterinarian. There is no good reason not to give your pets the best care that you possibly can. A lot of common illnesses and symptoms can be nipped at the bud if detected quite early on, so it goes without saying that you always want to bring your pets to the veterinarian regularly.
If you're a new pet owner, the very first thing you should do is set that appointment and take your new little (or big) buddy to a veterinarian. Let your veterinarian teach you all about your new pet. He or she will tell you everything - he will tell you how to care for your pet, what food it should be eating, how to give it good grooming and adequate exercise, the whole works. Be prepared to learn a treasure trove of information about pets - little known facts we're talking about here. Whether you have a dog, a cat, a bird or a horse, I guarantee you that a veterinarian will teach you helpful tips that you didn't already know.
I'm sure there are some of you out there who have pets but not a veterinarian, and if that is the case, then get of your butt and get your pet a vet! Interview friends or family members who own pets and look for a reputable, experienced veterinarian. Power up your Google and comb the Internet when finding the right veterinarian, or flip through the old, reliable yellow pages that still serves a lot of purposes in the Age of Cyberspace. You don't want a fresh graduate from Podunk University - you want somebody with vast experience, someone who can specialize in your kind of pet, because there are general vets and specialists as well.
If you think that making appointments for your pets to see a veterinarian is silly, then wonder whether or not you are suited to be a pet owner. You must consider your lifestyle and your ability to provide the right level of care for pets. Be honest with yourself and know that it is much better to give up a pet you already own than to keep that pet and not care for it properly.
