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.

- Complete all Patient Forms prior to your first visit. We require all forms to be submitted at least 24 hours in advance unless scheduled the same day.

- 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
