We recommend scheduling an appointment so we can reserve the appropriate time for your pet’s needs. Please call us before coming in without an appointment so our team can advise you on availability. We often have same-day availability and offer convenient drop off appointments for same day sick visits.

Please bring any previous medical records, vaccination history, a list of current medications and supplements, and any relevant laboratory or imaging results. If another veterinarian has been caring for your pet, having those records available helps us provide more informed, coordinated care.

We understand that plans change. Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Our standard policy allows a 15-minute grace period for appointments. Missed doctor appointments without notice may require a deposit for future appointments.

If you’re a new client, please arrive a few minutes early to allow time for check-in and any outstanding paperwork. Returning clients should arrive on time for their scheduled appointment.

We then communicate and review all findings and recommendations with you so you can make informed decisions about your pet’s care.

Consultations with the internist are also available for an additional fee.
