April marks 1 year with her royal highness. When I adopted her, I didn't know any vets other than my cousin (who doesn't see family) and I didn't know much about pet insurance. I got roped into a 1 year plan through a pet store chain. To be honest I was never comfortable with the vet, so I switched to another store where one of the vets was listed on the "cat friendly" registries. I'm still not that impressed, so I was planning on finding a new vet, as well as an independent insurance plan. Delilah and I went through a LOT medically in the first 3 months that wasn't supported by her vet plan, let alone understood by her vets (ovarian remnant syndrome).
There are 2 "cat only" vets in my area. 1 is very expensive and has mixed reviews online. 1 isn't answering their phones, at least every time I call.
Most of my family has dogs. The only cat person (upstairs neighbor) I know isn't thrilled with her vet either.
So how do I pick a new vet? And once I've picked a vet, do I see what insurance they take? Or do I go the other way around (choose insurance, find a vet on the insurance)?
And how do I know the pet insurance is good, and not just another trap like my current plan?
