Your Pet's First Visit

A pet's first visit to the vet can seem a bit daunting, so we've put together a list of info and resources to help you prepare. 

At your first appointment, we will gather information about your pet’s background, health, diet, and training. We can also address any questions or concerns you might have.

Your veterinarian will examine your pet from nose-to-tail, looking for things like heart murmurs, ear infections, and/or parasites. Your vet can also provide pet-proofing tips, training assistance, and parasite protection recommendations. 

Before Your First Appointment
  1. Complete the New Client Form prior to your first visit.
  2. Assemble and be sure to bring all the proper items with you:
    • Your pet's adoption or purchase records
    • Any existing medical history
    • A list of current medications and supplements
    • Current feeding schedule and the brand of food you use
    • A list of questions you have for your veterinarian
  3. Collect any necessary stool or urine samples, if requested.
  4. If you're bringing in your dog, be sure he or she is accustomed to being on a short leash. If you're bringing a cat, be sure to have an appropriate carrier.
  5. Feel free to bring your pet's favorite treats to keep them happy and distracted!

Appointment Policies

​Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your pet's appointment for check-in. If you have not filled out all relevant patient forms yet, plan to arrive 10 minutes ahead of your appointment.

While we do our best to make sure all of our patients are seen on time, there will be times of occasional unexpected delay due to an emergency or because we are providing care for a patient that needs a little more time. Please accept our apologies should this occur, and understand that the same dedication and courtesy will be provided to your pet should they ever need it.

"I truly love this place. It's always a great experience and the staff are so so so friendly! Me and my significant other take my Frenchie Arno here, and I am an individual that worries a bit more than I should lol... but taking Arno here, I have 0 worries because I know he's in good hands. My hubby takes Arno to the majority of his appointments as I work first shift and he works 2nd, and the appointments are usually fairly early. He always says Arno is always so excited to see the staff and says it's always a great experience. I went yesterday my first time to pick him up after he had gotten neutered and I can truly say I felt great after walking out of there. One of the vets sat me down and asked if there was anything I might've had questions about as far as after care. I felt like they truly cared and were fantastic on making sure I was educated in areas I may not have been so I can take care of my Arno while he's recovering. They even called that same night to check on how he was doing and followed up today as well. 10/10, highly recommend this place!"
