Choosing a pet

Pets 'N' Vets offers a free introductory consultation for every new pet brought to the practice. Charges will be made for medication or vaccines, but the first check up and registration is very important and should take place within 2-3 days of acquiring your new pet.

A number of important factors need to be considered when choosing a pet. If you want a pet that will get you outdoors, and you can take for walks a dog will be best. If you would rather have a pet that was low maintenance and lived outdoors a lot of the time a cat may be better.

Rabbits and "small furries" may be smaller, but this does not necesarily mean that they require less time spent on them. Ofthen the reverse will be true.

It's important that you consider all factors before purchasing a new pet, as you will have them for many years to come.
