During Your First Visit

During your pet’s first visit, your veterinarian will do a head-to-tail exam and check overall health, including the skin and coat, eyes and ears, teeth and gums, heart, lungs and other vital organs.

The veterinarian will also check your pet for fleas, ticks and other external parasites.

Your veterinarian will also ask questions about your pet’s diet, habits and activities, and discuss overall health and wellness including:

  • Vaccine History
  • Parasite Prevention
  • Spaying/Neutering
  • Dental Care
  • Microchipping
Ask Questions
Your first visit is an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your pet's breed. Symptoms of many hereditary conditions are not always obvious, so awareness is important for early detection.

This is also a great time to ask for any recommendations or tips about care, training and feeding. Don't forget to schedule your pet's follow-up visit before you leave. After all, preventive care can help your pet live a longer and healthier life.

If you have any questions at all about your pet's upcoming visit, don't hesitate to contact us. We're looking forward to seeing you and your pet soon.

    Our grooming department does a great job giving your pets a day at the spa. We do ask that your pet arrives for their spa treatment prior to 9:00 am. This allows the groomers time to get everyone settled and ready to start their relaxing experience. Our groomers will call you when your pet's treatments are finished, as we like to stage out their day so that no one feels rushed or anxious. After all, it should be a relaxing experience.

    We do ask that your pet arrive the morning of their procedure between 7:00 am - 7:30 am. This will allow the medical team time to prepare them for their procedure.
