🐾 Why the First Visit Is So Important

• Establishes a baseline of your pet’s health
• Identifies hidden issues like parasites or dental concerns
• Begins vaccine and deworming schedules
• Builds trust between your pet and your vet

The earlier you start regular checkups, the better the outcomes — especially for young or rescued animals.

📋 What to Bring to Your First Appointment

• Any medical records or adoption paperwork
• Previous vaccination history (if any)
• A stool sample (for parasite screening)
• A list of questions or concerns

For anxious pets, bring a favorite toy or blanket to help them feel at ease.

🩺 What Happens During the Exam?

• Full-body check (eyes, ears, skin, coat, heart, lungs, etc.)
• Temperature, weight, and hydration check
• Discussion about diet, exercise, behavior, and training
• Vaccine planning and deworming (as needed)
• Optional blood tests or microchipping

Our friendly team walks you through everything — in English or Spanish — and answers all your questions.

💉 Vaccines and Parasite Prevention

If your pet hasn’t started vaccinations yet, your vet will recommend a custom schedule based on their age and lifestyle. This usually includes:

• Rabies
• Distemper/parvovirus (dogs)
• FVRCP (cats)
• Flea/tick/heartworm prevention

These are essential to protect your pet and others they may interact with.
