Ask friends, family, and co-workers, but be sure to ask them why they see this particular veterinarian.

189. Why Crate Train My Dog? By Jenny Saylor
     A few years ago, before I decided to stay home with my kids, I worked as a veterinarian technician in an animal hospital.

     Over the past several years, the wild mother cat who has taken up residence in our barn in rural Wisconsin has given me many opportunities to figure out how to tame wild kittens. The mother cat always hides her kittens very well, and then, when they are big enough to leave the nest and are big enough to eat kitty food, she brings them out and expects me to feed them.
