Check around town for a good one. Ask neighbors and friends to recommend a good vet. It helps to find one that is experienced in caring for service dogs. The differences are subtle but, they can be helpful. It is recommended by GDF and most veterinarians that all animals go in for a check up at least twice a year.
Guide dogs are no exception.
Not only will they need shots for rabies but they will also need to be checked for any changes in bone structure and conditions of the eyes and ears. Large dog breeds used in guide work are prone to problems with hip dysphasia. Routine x-rays can provide early detection and treatment. This can help lengthen the life of a guide dog team. Some dogs work so well and rarely complain when they are having problems.
