What to Expect at Your Appointment
We want your pet to enjoy optimal health and stay current with all their vaccines, tests, and other treatments. During the wellness exam, your veterinarian will evaluate the following and talk with you about any concerns you have about your pet’s condition:
- Eyes, ears, and nose
- Heart and respiration
- Abdomen palpation
- Proper bite placement
- Any signs of infection or parasites
- Proper growth and development
- Presence of hernia
Your vet may also administer initial vaccinations and help you develop a proper vaccination schedule for your pet’s needs.
We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early for your pet’s visit so we can go over your new client paperwork and any previous medical history, while still allowing plenty of time for you to speak with your vet.
When You Arrive
To keep our hospital, your pet, and our other patients and clients safe, please arrive with your pet properly secured to a leash or situated in an appropriate pet carrier. We want everyone to feel comfortable in our hospital and to ensure minimal stress for your pet and others.

Pets We See
Our hospital is happy to see dogs and cats, but we also offer wellness care and medical treatments to rabbits, ferrets, and other small animals. Some of our associate vets can also see exotics and reptiles on a limited basis. We highly recommend bringing in your exotic pet for semi-annual physical exams so we can evaluate your pet’s health, nutrition, and husbandry-related conditions. Many of these types of pets are good at concealing illness or injury, and this can lead to health problems going undetected and untreated. With semi-annual checkups, we can detect, diagnose, and treat health problems sooner.
