How to Prepare for Your Pet's First Visit

To make your pet’s visit as stress-free as possible, consider the following preparation tips:

  • Arrive Early: Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete any necessary paperwork and allow your pet time to acclimate to the environment.
  • Bring Medical Records: If this is your pet’s first visit with us, bring any previous medical records or vaccination history.
  • Pack Comfort Items: A favorite toy, blanket, or some treats can help ease your pet’s anxiety during the visit.
  • Fasting Requirements: Some tests or procedures may require your pet to refrain from eating beforehand. If fasting is necessary, we will inform you when scheduling the appointment.
  • Use a Secure Carrier or Leash: Ensure your pet is safely secured in a pet carrier (for cats and small dogs) or on a leash to prevent stress and accidents in the waiting area.
  • Prepare a List of Concerns: Jot down any questions or symptoms you’ve noticed to discuss with the veterinarian.
