You love your pet and want it to live a long happy, healthy life. That is why proper veterinary care is so important! The Fairfield Area Humane society does not provide veterinary care, and there is no substitute for the skill and knowledge of a trained and licensed veterinarian.



Looking for a veterinarian?

Here's How:

  1. When searching for a new vet (relocation, new pet) ask friends, family, and co-workers who they see and why they like that vet.


  2. When seeking a second opinion or referral, first ask your current vet if possible.


  3. If you feel uncomfortable about asking your present vet for a referral, start with step one above. Check out Ohio's veterinary medical association (VMA) they have resources and lists of vets.


  4. There are several sites online that will do a localized veterinarian or veterinary hospital search for you


  5. The Yellow Pages are also an option for initial research when finding a veterinarian.


  6. We have developed a list of local contacts below.


  7. Once you have the names of some veterinarians in your area who see the species of pets or animals that you have, the next step is to call or stop by the office.


  8. Is the reception staff friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable?


  9. Will the office hours work with your schedule and lifestyle?


  10. What about emergency coverage after hours and on holidays?


  11. Is the veterinary staff (doctors, technicians, assistants) professional and knowledgeable?


  12. Do the staff members have a good 'bedside manner' when relating to you and your pet?


  13. If the vet and/or hospital that you have selected do not meet these criteria, you may want to keep looking until you can be assured that your pet is receiving the best possible care.
