Know your vets...
Some are good for nail trimming. Shots. Advice on diet foods.
Others are good for very difficult surgeries, weird diagnoses, etc.
You cant always tell them apart until the rubber hits the road and you have something bad happen to your pet.
When you hear of someone having a very good outcome from something difficult, ask the name of the vet and write it down. You will need it someday. And it may be the difference between them telling you to put ur pet down and you taking him home for another ten years.
