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.

"We have been receiving excellent care for our 2 mini dachshunds since they both were puppies and had their first check ups!! Madigan has had so many issues from welted hives requiring steriod shots at vaccine update to skin issues since she was a pup. the Dr.'s at Brooklyn, no matter who it was, Dr. Deb or Dr. Kathy, maybe Dr. Ashley too, just read the notes from the last appointment and continued down the list of trying things and ruling things out, they were all on the same page with every visit. It took I think a solid 9 months and by this time Madigan was losing so much fur and literally balding. It was to the point where Madigan was so bald she was like a sphinx cat!! No fur, just fuz and she was oily like the sphinx. Dr Kathy, internal medicine, said that she needs to be on a med permanently in order for Madigan to recover from this. She has been doing great, almost a year later and her coat is so soft and full! She's never had this much fur and it's awesome!! Madigan and Roawinn have their GI issues and allergies that pop up every so often. Everyone at Brooklyn Vet gives them the care and love each time they need help getting better. We couldn't be more thankful for the wonderful care our girls get every time!! Thank you so much, it means a lot!!Mandy & Andrew Dethloff"
