What to Expect
The first time you and your kitty visit our clinic, we’ll get to know each other. No one knows your cat better than you, so we will ask you detailed questions about your cat’s health and behavior, and discuss any concerns you might have.
Our Doctor will perform a thorough physical exam, including: lungs, heart, eyes, ears, nose, teeth, skin, and abdominal palpation. He/she will also check for evidence of fleas and ear mites.
Based on the physical exam findings and the history, our Doctor will make recommendations in regards to:
- • Vaccinations
- • Labwork and medical advice as needed
- • Parasite control
- • Dietary concerns and needs
Helpful items for you to bring for your first visit:
- • Previous medical records, including shelter records or breeder records
- •Complete list of medications and supplements, including strength and dosing, and foods, including brand and quantity fed daily
Please note: we require seven days’ notice to cancel or reschedule a new patient appointment.
