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.

"Incredible team, I'm so grateful they were recommended when I was looking for an avian vet for my pigeon. Dana is amazing, the entire staff is amazing, and they got me in the same morning I called asap because of the condition he was in.They immediately helped with pain management and kept him calm and comfortable the entire time, and even the sedation process for a radiograph was smooth.Don't know what's going on with my little guy yet (waiting on results) but I am so incredibly grateful to the team getting us in so quickly and making sure we had pain medication and food for him to heal quickly. He has improved so much over the past 24 hours and I am so grateful to the doctor and staff for helping us so quickly.Avian vets are few and far between, but I sure am glad to know Dana and would very highly recommend the entire office- another friend had a very positive experience with their dog a few years back.Thanks again all and see you soon for his follow up"
