When a place is a good business they will accommodate. Most of the time (not all) if they are not very good, they will ask you to set up an appointment, which is not a good idea. Think about it...if you knew a potential client was coming in for a tour, wouldn't you make sure everything was clean and tidy and everyone was on their best behavior? If they say they are too busy, offer to wait. Friend recommendations are a good place to start, but your opinion of good and a friends may be completely different. You might start out with asking your friends and then from there do the touring. Also, look at the facility web sites and see if they sound interesting. We had some clients even set up "consultations" with our docs. Just to talk to them to see if they felt comfortable with them and their ability to take care of their pet.<br><b>References : </b><br> I used to work at a vet clinic and we always told our clients this: Go into a clinic or boarding facility and ask for a tour on the spot.

In the boarding situation make sure you go back and see where they will be boarded at and ask them what there routine is like, how they clean the area the cats are held, and things of that nature.<br><b>References : </b><br> It’s always good to ask around to find who different people’s vets are and if they like them.

Try 2 other vets , and compare. that way you'll be on safe ground.<br><b>References : </b><br> I would say it’s always better to get a friend’s reference. if this isn’t the case, see how patient and knowledgable the vet you’ve chosen is.
