Don't be put off! Keep perservering, now is no time to be shy!

Don't be embarassed to keep phoning and/or go into the practice in person (try and go at a quiet time, though - maybe lunchtime or even during "closed" hours - not sure about everywhere, but where I work, there's always a receptionist answering the phone even when their "official" hours say it's closed)

From experience, letters and especially e-mails go largely unnoticed/ignored. The best approach, I've found, is by phoning directly. For most of my placements I sent a letter (or several!) but for the kennels I just phoned directly. Usually I hate using the phone, but like I say, now is no time for shyness!

It's normal to get only one or even no replies if you've asked lots of places, try again - unless they've got a genuine, valid excuse like insurance, in which case they really can't do anything - usually the only reason vets say no is to weed out the timewasters.
