Your Pet's First Visit

A pet's first visit to the vet can seem a bit daunting, so we've put together a list of info and resources to help you prepare. 

At your first appointment, we will gather information about your pet’s background, health, diet, and training. We can also address any questions or concerns you might have.

Your veterinarian will examine your pet from nose-to-tail, looking for things like heart murmurs, ear infections, and/or parasites. Your vet can also provide pet-proofing tips, training assistance, and parasite protection recommendations. 

Before Your First Appointment
  1. Complete the New Client Form prior to your first visit.
  2. Assemble and be sure to bring all the proper items with you:
    • Your pet's adoption or purchase records
    • Any existing medical history
    • A list of current medications and supplements
    • Current feeding schedule and the brand of food you use
    • A list of questions you have for your veterinarian
  3. Collect any necessary stool or urine samples, if requested.
  4. If you're bringing in your dog, be sure he or she is accustomed to being on a short leash. If you're bringing a cat, be sure to have an appropriate carrier.
  5. Feel free to bring your pet's favorite treats to keep them happy and distracted!

Appointment Policies

​Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your pet's appointment for check-in. If you have not filled out all relevant patient forms yet, plan to arrive 10 minutes ahead of your appointment.

While we do our best to make sure all of our patients are seen on time, there will be times of occasional unexpected delay due to an emergency or because we are providing care for a patient that needs a little more time. Please accept our apologies should this occur, and understand that the same dedication and courtesy will be provided to your pet should they ever need it.

"**Five Stars **We are beyond grateful to the team at **Integrative Vet Clinic** for the incredible care they provided during our dog Brylee's recent surgery and recovery. Brylee had a very large, complicated lipoma that needed surgical removal, and we were naturally nervous going into the process. From the very first consultation, the team made us feel heard, supported, and reassured every step of the way.The surgery itself was handled with such professionalism and compassion - they explained everything clearly and took every precaution to ensure a smooth procedure. But what truly stood out was the **aftercare**. The attention, gentleness, and ongoing communication we received during the recovery period were nothing short of amazing. Brylee received not just excellent medical care, but genuine love and attention.You can tell this clinic treats every animal like their own. We feel so lucky to have found them and can't recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for skilled, holistic, and heartfelt veterinary care.And Brylee is back to doing what she loves the most...walking, ball time and boating!"
