By being honest and truthful and not just out to get more money out of pet owners.
Being interested in the welfare of an animal when it's under treatment, not just when it's at the practice for a visit.
By talking to the owner AND the animal, not just to your nurses or vet techs.
By keeping cool when dealing with insane cats that give you a hard time when you're trying to take blood.
My vet's really crap! I've been through 6 in the UK and 3 in the US, only 1 US vet measured up and I'll always compare other practices to hers. Unfortunately I'm not there anymore, I'd never have changed vets again.

The office staff where I attend for my pup has a tendency to not pay attention to when a client walks in for their scheduled appointments. They do not explain the reasons why your scheduled visit is delayed (the vet has an emergency). They don't smile, at all! How can an entire office go through life being so unhappy but yet all of the vets and their technicians are so great!

Specializing in a certain type of pet allows the vet to know more about the animal being brought to the office. I bring my cats to a cat only clinic and will continue to do so as long as there is one available wherever I live. I can tell that the vet really does love the animals she works with and that is more important than professionalism (anyone can look professional).

Appropriate phone skills, people skills, maintaining appoinments and always being on time (don't make people wait). Get involved with the community, maybe sponsor some events with a local humane society or animal shelter. Teach obedience school for dogs.
