Tim Curtis Webboard User Reg: 07-23-2010 Posts: 227 Loc: Midwest Offline	I was checking out some vets in my area and one of them had a carpeted waiting room floor. The facility was otherwise very nice and clean, but the waiting room floor had all sorts of fur and who knows what else on it. This is not a good thing, correct? Brodie

Often times the office manager/designer who opened the building decided to put in something like that without thinking it through. Vet offices for awhile in the early 90s were designed after dentist offices which meant a lot of really ugly carpeting in waiting areas. It wouldn't be an immediate dis-qualifier for me, it would be a point of consideration though. If the vet themselves were worth it I'd have no issues with that waiting room.
