Vets can be a touchy subject.\n\nOver the weekend, we were having dinner at a friend's house, who has nearly a dozen rescued animals.  She and her husband are quiet sane, but generous to a fault.  If, that is a fault.  I noticed they had three of the four James Herriot's  \""All Creatures Great and Small\"" novels on the book case.  It got us to talking about our wee beasties and the doctors who care for them.\n\nOne of the ongoing themes in the novels is Vet Siegfried Farnon's rants about the cheapness of the folks who live in the Yorkshire Dales.  Well, not a lot has changed for Vets or animal owners I guess.  \n\nWe are always looking for the most competent, least expensive way to care for our pets.  And, when we find a good one, for the most part you want to keep it a secret.  Some can be prone to expensive tests or procedures, while others can balance common sense and reasonable care given the pet's age, et cetera.\n\nWe have tried other Veterinaries and animal hospitals in the valley, but we keep coming back for that fine balance and love that Horizon and it's staff shows to our wee beasties!
