How to have an easy vet appointment!

4 hours ago
2 min read

We are looking forward to seeing you and your precious pet! Here are some resources to help you get the most out of your pet’s appointment.


Start Here!

Pre-Appointment Forms

Save time during your appointment by filling these forms out ahead of time.

  • New Client/Patient Form

    • This form gets your pet's medical record set up, gives us permission to treat your pet, and reviews our policies.

    • If your pet is already established in our system, you don't need to fill out this form again.

  • Medical History Questions

    • Please take 2-3 minutes to answer a few questions about your pet's medical history so we can get all your questions answered during the exam.


Low Stress Visit Tips

Here are things you can practice at home and bring with you to help your pet be more comfortable while they are here with us!


  • Bring fresh samples from home, ideally collected no more than 4 hours before your appointment:

  • Give pre-visit calming medications (if prescribed for your pet)

  • Practice holding your pet at home the same way that they will be handled during the exam so they are comfortable with different positions. Give plenty of rewards during practice (and bring facorite rewards with you!)

  • Do you think your pet is in pain?

    • Review this cat or dog list.

    • Bring a video of your pet, since they may not move around as much in an unfamiliar location.


Getting pets to the vet.

We want your pet to stay safe through their entire trip- nobody needs the extra stress of an escape attempt! All pets should arrive in a carrier or with a properly fitted collar/harness and leash.


Check out the videos below for tips on how to make sure collars and harnesses fit correctly.

Policy questions?

Pets are family. Painful or scared pets may need sedation or medication for pain or anxiety. In some cases certain recommended procedures will not be completed during the first visit.


We will review a detailed estimate during the exam. We accept cash, credit cards, and payment plans.


Life happens and we get it. As a small business we appreciate knowing 2 days in advance for any scheduling changes.
