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.
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!
