I am hoping to get some feedback on this thread about good veterinarians in the area - and possibly those offices that are best avoided. Of course, the Restaurant Talk post has been really informative to read, as was one on the local garages and mechanics. My own experience with veterinarians is that they are a lot like mechanics: some are trustworthy, reliable, and nice, and others are either incompetent or else they will try to charge you to fix ANYthing they think is "wrong" at the moment.
Not to be selfish, but we are in need of a veterinarian! We just adopted a puppy from a local shelter. Our elderly dog recently passed away. My experience during those years was that word of mouth is the best indicator of the good vets in the area. Our former vet is a far drive from the Shoals, so we're looking for someone closer.
If you have pets, or if you know about vets in the area, please speak up! Like the restaurant owners on the Restaurant Talk section, I'm sure they will appreciate your support for their good work. Who would you recommend in Florence, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, or Muscle Shoals? Anybody to avoid?
