Abstract: There are a large number of pet hospitals and pet clinics on the market, and many people don’t know how to distinguish between genuine and fake ones. Pet hospitals are different from ordinary pet clinics in that they have a wider business scope and higher requirements. When choosing a pet hospital, you should observe the environment of the pet hospital, observe whether it is disinfected immediately after each diagnosis and treatment, and observe the working status of the pet doctor, so that you can roughly judge whether it is true or false. Next, let’s go with the editor. Take a look. How to choose a reliable pet hospital
Be sure to conduct on-site inspections. For the pet hospital you choose, it is best to conduct the inspection before your pet is sick, and you should start with the one closest to your home. After all, For emergencies, time means life. In addition, a pet hospital with a good reputation is of course the first choice, but remember that hearing is believing and seeing is believing.
1. First of all, you must understand the difference between a pet hospital and a pet clinic
A pet hospital requires 3 registered pet doctor qualification certificates and an investment of millions of equipment; while a pet clinic only requires 1 With more than one registered pet doctor qualification certificate, you can easily open a business with an investment of 100,000.
2. Observe the environment of the pet hospital
The most important thing is cleanliness and hygiene. Smell whether the disinfectant smell of the pet hospital is strong. If it is a hospital that pays attention to daily disinfection, it should be disinfected as soon as you enter the door. You can smell the obvious smell of disinfectant, and all kinds of items and cases should be placed in a fixed place in an orderly manner.
3. Observe whether disinfection is carried out immediately after each diagnosis and treatment.
Many diseases are contagious, even if they are not contagious, sick pets will definitely carry germs. For sick pets with low immunity, cross-infection is often fatal, so every pet must be disinfected after every diagnosis and treatment.
4. Observe the working status of pet doctors
The necessary qualities of a serious, careful and service-minded pet doctor. If most of them are idle and absent-minded, then you can choose to directly If the pet doctor is not very busy, you can choose to communicate with him. Of course, you must know the answers to the questions asked. If the other person can basically answer the questions you ask fluently, then at least it means that the pet doctor has a good grasp of knowledge; if the pet doctor is ignoring you, it is either because the pet doctor is too tired, or he does not want to answer, and lacks the spirit of service. What’s the use of this kind of pet doctor’s superb medical skills!
5. Observe the pets that are left alone for treatment
For pets with a long treatment period, many pet friends will choose to deliver them in the morning and pick them up in the evening, or directly foster them Stay at the pet hospital until recovery. Pet friends can pay attention and observe. If the medical staff ignores them and shows no patience, then they can choose to leave directly. A good pet hospital has a responsible person for every pet that comes for treatment. No matter how busy it is, there should be a dedicated person to take care of it.
6. Pay attention to the hospital’s medical team
All doctors need a practicing veterinarian qualification certificate. This certificate is issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. The annual veterinary pass rate is only about 10. Only college graduates with a veterinary related major or above can take the exam. Pet doctors must hold a certificate to work, so be sure to look for this certificate. In addition, some hospitals will recruit a large number of interns to reduce costs. If you find that interns do basically everything, instead of observing most of the time, you can choose to find another hospital. Although no matter how good a pet doctor is, he still has to go through the process of being an intern, but teaching and work should still be separated. After all, the probability of mistakes by interns is much higher. A pet hospital that is truly responsible for its customers will not allow this kind of hidden danger to exist. .
7. Instruments and equipment
Simple standard, it depends on whether these three basic things are available: X-ray machine, biochemistry, B-ultrasound, better hospitals will also be equipped with nuclear magnetic resonance* ** Vibration MRI, endoscopy, electrocardiograph, ICU, etc.
8. Understand the charging standards of the pet hospital
Understand the charging standards of the pet hospital from various aspects, such as the charging signs in the pet hospital, the qualifications of the attending doctor, and common usage types of drugs, etc.
As for the charge cards, they are generally the charging standards for some routine diagnosis and treatment, such as sterilization surgery. If the pet hospital also specifically marks the cost of anesthesia, then at least it means that this store is still very real. (However, most pet hospitals will not explain the cost of the anesthesia part, so many pet friends have experienced that the price doubled after receiving the bill. The extra cost is basically the cost of the anesthesia part.) There is no price on the fee plate Yes, then you can take the initiative to ask if the cost of the operation is the full cost (be careful not to mention anesthesia). If you proactively explain that additional anesthesia fees are required, it means that the pet hospital has a good conscience in the industry. For the attending doctor, if he is from Hong Kong and Taiwan, or even a foreign doctor, please automatically increase the fee by a few bucks. For commonly used drugs, you can ask your pet doctor or your pet friend who comes to see the doctor. If non-imported drugs are not used, then you have to consider whether the pet hospital does not trust domestic drugs or is trying to maximize profits.
