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. mail any existing medical history prior to your visit to scvcrecords@gmail.com
  3. 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
  4. Collect any necessary stool or urine samples, if requested.
  5. If you're bringing in your dog, be sure he or she is accustomed to being on a short leash. Retractable leashes are not allowed in the clinic for everyone's safety. If you're bringing a cat, be sure to have an appropriate carrier.
  6. Feel free to bring your pet's favorite treats to keep them happy and distracted!

"I really appreciated how Dr. Dietz thoroughly explained my dog’s condition and I especially appreciated his home remedy recommendations which will save me money. I truly believe he genuinely cares for my pet’s welfare and now I know why he was recommended! I’ll continue to see him for all our veterinary care and will be telling my friends to see him too!"
