Your first visit will allow us to get to know each other better, check your pet's health and start preventive care to prevent against future illnesses.
For your convenience, download the VCA New Client Form below to complete and bring with you to the hospital.
Please also gather any medical, vaccine and adoption records you may have for your pet.
A new environment can be stressful for any pet, regardless of age. Please keep your pet on a leash or in a carrier while visiting the hospital.
If you need a cat carrier, we'd be happy to provide a temporary one - as well as a few quick tips to make things easier for you both.
If your pet is shy or feels stressed around other pets, please let us know so that we can help.
During your pet's first visit, your veterinarian will do a head-to-tail exam and check overall health, including the skin and coat, eyes and ears, teeth and gums, heart, lungs and other vital organs. He or she will also check your pet for fleas, ticks and other external parasites.
Your veterinarian will also ask questions about your pet's diet, habits and activities, and discuss overall health and wellness including:
Your first visit is an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your pet's breed. Symptoms of many hereditary conditions are not always obvious, so awareness is important for early detection. This is also great time to ask for any recommendations or tips about care, training and feeding. Don't forget to schedule your pet's follow-up visit before you leave. After all, preventive care can help your pet live a longer and healthier life.
If you have any questions at all about your pet's upcoming visit, don't hesitate to contact us. We're looking forward to seeing you and your pet soon.
