What to Expect at a Veterinary Appointment
Knowing what to expect during your initial appointment will help make the experience more enjoyable for both you and your pet.
Get Settled
When calling us to book your appointment, we will have asked you for any required information. When in you arrive for your pet's appointment, we may follow up with you about any questions or further administrative information we might need before starting your companion's checkup.
Meet Your Veterinarian
A member of our team will review your pet's medical history and discuss any concerns you may have. You may submit any questions you wish, and we will devote time to responding to them.
Examination, Diagnosis & Treatment
After assessing your pet, we will provide you with a diagnosis and treatment options. Together, you and your veterinarian will develop a treatment plan for your pet.
Following your visit, we will provide you with a detailed report summarizing our findings, our discussion with you, and your pet's treatment plan. We will keep this information on file for your convenience.
