Overrun with beasties
I know that there are many people on here who have trouble finding a vet. In many areas of the country a good vet is more important to look for than a good family doctor. While we have clearly all had an experience with a vet where they didn't do something we liked, how we would have, that didn't work, etc. Stuff happens. Let's talk about the vets we love. If you can post your general location, the name of your favorite vet and if you know if they are taking new patients, I think it would be a great resource for new people that are looking for a large animal vet and are running through all the puppy/kitty vets w/o any success.
I will start.
Valley Equine - Ranson WV. Accepting new patients to my knowledge. All three staff vets are WONDERFUL in their own way. They have a good ol' boy on staff for the good ol' boy farmers and 2 female doctors as well. All are knowledgeable, ready and willing to give out personal cells in emergencies, knowing that it won't be abused, are great with phone consults, really aren't that expensive and are willing to try off label uses. Their office staff is pretty good but if you want to try something strange, you have to ask the vet, not the front desk. She goes by the label use and won't sell you the bottle. Fair enough, as it's her butt on the line. If the vet ok's whatever you are asking for though it's no problem.
All Creatures Veterinary - Hedgesville, WV. Not quite as easy to get a hold of as Valley. Have heard good things about their doc though and he was willing to come out and assist if we needed it.
