Anyone know a good English speaking vet?

I just got a Beagle puppy. I’m looking for a good vet who speaks English near the Ta-An park area in Taipei. Know of any? Or does anyone have a Beagle and care to share some experiences or advice? Thanks!

There is a good veterinary clinic just a few doors down from the Grand Mosque (Qingzhensi). Sorry, I don’t know how much English they speak, because my Chinese is good enough for that not to be a concern. I think you will find that most vets do understand English.

You can try “Top Vet Clinic” it’s not near by you, but I think they are good. It’s Locat at Lung Chung Road, TEL:(02) 2517-0902, You can ask for Dr. Chen Kuan Hsien. He studied in Australia before so at least speaks a bit, he’s a very nice person.:slight_smile: Actually he’s my Beagle’s Dr. My beagle is 13 months old now.

I found a great (so far) vet on He Ping across the street from Da An park. They speak English and seem to be very competant. Thanks for the help people. :bravo:

Thanks for the info rob123. Keep us up to date on how you like your new vet when you get time.

Dr. Hong of Cardiospecialist Veterinary Hospital has been taking care of my four dogs for almost five years now. He is American trained and is very competent. I recommend him highly. He is very busy, so be sure to make an appointment.

Can provide location, contact info, etc. for Cardiospecialist Veterinary Hospital. Thanks.

Sorry I just realized that info was previously posted. I thought it was a new reference.

I found this out because I checked this against a card a Taiwanese person gave me recommending a vet and it happened to be the same Dr. Hong. That is already several referrals so it sounds like he does a good job.

Just a follow up on the “Cardiospecial Veterinary clinic”. They are very professional, knowledgeable, fluent in English, and the Doctor I saw was funny and great with animals. Hell, if I have a medical problem I’d be better off going to see him than 99% of the “people” witch doctors in this country. So I would give them the highest recommendations.
