Start asking your family members, friends, dog walker, co-workers, animal shelters, search the internet, to name a few

Search for a qualified veterinarian should start even before you decide to get a pet. It is good to get to know your vet beforehand. He will be part of your pet journey for their entire lifetime and get advice from them on what to expect when our new family member comes home.

Start with seeing if you and the vet have the same or similar point of view, kind of a personality match. The next step is to see the facilities around, their staff Working hours Do they accept walk-ins? Do they handle emergencies? What are their consultation fees? Do they have a facility for tests and procedures on-site? Do you have a pharmacy? How do they accept payments

Oh boy, groomers should not sedate dogs. A dog can only be sedated when you have a vet round. It can cost you your pet's life if not done under supervision. Sensitize your pets for grooming sessions early on in their lives, so it's an enjoyable experience for them. IN some cases, like trimming a painful nail, one might need some support to calm the pet, ensure it is always done under veterinarian supervision
