It's understandable to feel concerned when you notice your vet making mistakes. Everyone can have an off day, and even experienced professionals can make errors. However, the key is how these mistakes are handled and whether they compromise the care of your pet.
If your vet made minor mistakes, such as mixing up paperwork or forgetting a small detail, it may not indicate a larger issue, especially if they acknowledged the error and corrected it swiftly. However, if the mistakes are affecting your pet's well-being, such as prescribing the wrong medication or misdiagnosing a condition, it could be worth considering your options.
At home, keeping detailed notes about your pet’s health, previous treatments, and any medications can help ensure nothing is missed during appointments. Communication is crucial, so don't hesitate to express your concerns to your vet directly. Their response can offer insight into their level of professionalism and commitment to improvement.
If the mistakes continue, or your concerns aren’t addressed adequately, it might be a sign to explore other veterinary options for the safety and care of your pet. Keep an eye out for symptoms in your pet that may indicate they’re not receiving the proper care, such as ongoing illness, worsening conditions, or adverse reactions to treatments.
For peace of mind and further guidance, consider booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals who can provide an objective second opinion on the situation.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
