Looking for Good Veterinary Care

10 years ago
I'm in the process of looking for the right place to settle, and, since I speak Spanish and have traveled in Mexico and Guatemala for over twenty years, I thought I might give Ecuador a look.

One of my main concerns in making a decision is making sure I will be able to find good and affordable pet care. I have a 14-year-old Shi-tzuh and her daughter who is 12. The mama is both blind and deaf but keeps up pretty well with her puppy-like offspring. I also have a year-old Staffordshire Terrier who was just diagnosed with Glaucoma and will likely have to have his eye removed before I move. I simply want to be sure I can find the names of good veterinarians should any of my pups have health problems.

My goal is to not live in an urban area, but I do plan on having a car for trips as I doubt there will be many veterinarians in the area I'm considering.


Thanks for any pertinent information you might be able to pass along.
