"Drivin' to the Vet"(Parody of "Little Red Corvette" ~PrinceI guess he should have known by the wayI took his tote out, that he should run 'n hide'Cause he'd soon pant and cry, I guess that makes me the bad guyWe were going for a ride!We're going to the placeWith a waiting room of crittersSome are healthy and some of them illBut they are all in good hands, just need to calm their sweat glandsWhile they're waiting for their shots and pills And kitty, I am taking you to the vetMackers, you need your shots(Oh)Drivin' to the vetWe're going despite your boycottI guess I should have calmed him downWhen we drove to the place of the caged and the leashedBecause he flattened his ears when he looked all around himBoth left and right there sat some hairy beasts! The vet sized him up, I started to panicWhen he said Mack was overweight"But he's a big-boned Tomcat, sir, is he really so fat?"And he said, "Kitty, what did she give to you eat?" Oh yeah!Drivin' to the vetMack, you need your teeth cleaned(Yes, you do)Takin' you to the vetBut first you need to have your blood work screened(Oh, oh)Mackers was prepped and then was sedatedThe vet said, "Go back to work and wait.""We'll give you a call when we are done,"Scraping the tartar, then we'll let you know his tooth fate!"Hastings Vet ClinicKeeping my cat's teeth cleanHastings Vet ClinicThey let me know when we need vaccines!This clinic is rated by Consumer Checkbook as being #1 in the Southeast Metro area and #9 Β in the entire Metro area for quality and value--I can see why! My cat has been poked and prodded by several of the friendly, purrrfessional vets and vet techs at this clinic, and he and I like them all (as does my sister, whose cats also reluctantly visit this clinic). They are empathetic, gentle, and wonderful at easing your worry while explaining procedures. Not to mention they are experts at obliterating cats' stank breath!We have sent numerous other friends and family here...which is a 20-30 minute drive away from home town. While there are other veterinary clinics in Red Wing *shout out to The Bluffs for also having taken wonderful care of our family pets over the years*, paws-down we will visit the Hastings clinic first due to large cost savings ...about 2/3 to 1/2 of what you pay for office visits/teeth cleaning/extractions, etc.. elsewhere. From the hand-written messages of condolence after the loss of one of our family pets to the detailed, caring, humorous messages I have received from the vets while waiting for my cat to come out of anesthesia, I can't imagine having a better experience anywhere else. ~The Nosy NorwegianSniffing out deals and pheromones of scared pets in veterinary clinic lobbies so that you don't have to.
