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
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 Collect any necessary stool or urine samples if requested. 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. 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.

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.

"Can’t recommend this place enough!!!Been going here for over a year now. Started when I moved here with my new dog. Personally, I’m the “terrified of getting ripped off by the vet” kind of person. Been ripped off by vets so many times it’s gross. Exaggerated diagnosis, hidden fees, I’ve seen it all. This place however…I mean holy cow what a difference. Never have I experienced a more competent, respectful, and patient vet staff in all my life. Having an adopted an adult rescue, with god knows what kind of medical history, comes with so much stress. Every time I leave this place, Im left with this invaluable peace of mind/feeling of security for my dogs health, that I honestly can’t say I’ve experienced with a vet before, and I’ve been to quite a few in my short lifetime. I encourage ANYONE who is hesitant about trusting a vet, for any reason, to give these absolute pros a shot. They’re best around. Simple as that."
