To make your pet’s visit as smooth as possible, it’s helpful to ensure they haven’t eaten for a few hours before their appointment, especially if they might need sedation or blood tests. Bring them in a secure carrier (for cats and small pets) or on a leash (for dogs). Try to keep them calm and comfortable, and consider bringing their favorite treat or toy to help them feel more at ease in the clinic environment.

Yes, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment for all routine visits, vaccinations, and non-emergency concerns. This ensures that we can dedicate ample time to your pet and minimize your wait time. Walk-ins are accepted for urgent issues, but priority will be given to scheduled appointments.

For most adult pets, we recommend an annual wellness exam. Puppies and kittens, as well as senior pets or those with chronic conditions, may require more frequent visits for vaccinations, health monitoring, and early detection of potential issues. Your veterinarian will advise on the best schedule for your pet’s individual needs.

The necessary vaccinations depend on your pet’s species, age, lifestyle, and local regulations. Core vaccines for dogs typically include Rabies and Distemper/Parvo, while cats usually receive Rabies and FVRCP. We will discuss a personalized vaccination plan for your pet during their examination, considering their risk factors and exposure.

For your pet’s initial visit, please bring any previous medical records you have, including vaccination history, a list of any medications your pet is currently taking, and a fresh stool sample (if possible). It’s also helpful to come prepared with any questions or concerns you have about your pet’s health or behavior.
