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.

"My dog was very ill. Dr Kelly was so understanding and caring she assessed the situation suggested only relevant tests to rule out the underlying cause of my dogs illness. Dr Kelly took her time explaining what might be the causes of her condition and gave me holistic methods to address issues that my dog seemed to be experiencing. Dr Kelly was professional, caring and understanding at a most critical time in my fur babies life. Putting my animal and I at ease and getting us resources we needed. Highly recommend bringing your animal here. This is the fifth dog as well as 3 cats I've taken here. Staff was understanding and wonderful also, can't give enough praise. Thank you for your compassion and understanding you gave both me and my dog. My heartfelt thanks.Dr Alice also has taken care of my newest member of my family Jojo and recommended choices for holistic alternatives to her anxiety of going to vet. Shes also taken care of all of my past furbabies.She's helped with my older dogs mobility issues and given resources to help in making decisions of treatment. The staff is friendly and helpful when you have questions about medications, procedures and scheduling of appointments. If you care about your animals this is a place you should go for there care. I can't say enough compassionate, caring, and they really love your animals as well as care about you!!"
