How to find a Vet for your Neapolitan Mastiff
First you have to determine what type of Vet you need.  Unfortunatley most of us do not have one vet for everything.  All though there are some good old Vets still around that know alot about alot of different things but if not, you will have to determine what you need.  Hopefully, you can be referred by a Neapolitan Mastiff breeder in your area.

If you are totally on your own, you must locate and interview one on your own.  I suggest:

Setting up an appointment to tour the facility,

Take note of where and when your Vet graduated

Do they consider them self a specialist in any area or breed

What are their after hours emergency procedures ?
Will they respond or do you have to go to an emergency clinic ?

Is the clinic private owned or corporation owned ?
This is key because many corporation owned clinics have set in stone protocol and can prove to be unflexible and expensive.
If its private owned - then who owns it? This will let you know if the Vet your seeing has the authority to authorize treatments and procedures on their own.

Ask how many if any Neapolitan Mastiffs they have as patients ?

If you are unable to recieve a Neapolitan Mastiff breeder referral you may try locating a Great Dane Breeder in your area for a referral.

Does the vet own dogs himself/herself ?  if so, what do they feed ? and what do they own?


Do you feel this is a vet you can talk with, is he/she open to alternate treatments ?

Covers a wide range of possible accidents, including scene safety, CPR, car accidents, burns, what's normal for your pet, more.
Different types of Clinics -
Small Animal Clinic - primarily for cats and dogs, pocket pets, birds, etc...
Large Animal Clinic - primarily horses, livestock...

I would highly recommend a large animal clinic over a small animal clinic.
  Because, large animal clinics have access to a larger variety of treatments and medicines than small animal clinics. For instance, a large animal clinic will carry more injectible medicines because they treat horses, they will carry larger doses of oral medication, etc...  And most of all, I have found large animal clinics better at responding to emergencies.
