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 LOVE this vet office - they are the best! I have taken my dogs here for 13 years, and their care has been consistently stellar, from the front desk to the vets and techs who treat my fur babies. Dr. Deb is a great vet - kind, compassionate, and always clearly explains what is going on with my dog and what options are available. Consistently stellar care. I had a sick little Havanese, and I needed to take him with me when there was a death in the family. They were very busy but took him anyway, and Dr. Kathy gave him a lot of loving attention while determining what was wrong and how to treat it. By the time I was ready to leave, Bodie was back to his normal self and ready for the drive. There is a reason that all of the dogs like to go there. I recommend this office to anyone looking for great care for their pets!"
