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.

"We took our 12 pound mini dachshund, Abby to Mayde Creek Animal Health Center on Saturday, Dec 2, 2023 because she was sick.Riding in the car and going to the vet stresses Abby out so bad she shakes really bad.The staff and vet were amazing and wonderful with Abby. We noticed when the vet tech brought Abby to us after doing X-rays, blood work and a few other things that Abby's shaking was 90% better. This has never happened before. Even with medication it's hard to get Abby to stop shaking.I also forgot to mention earlier that Abby is almost 13.5 years old and we brought her home when she was 6 weeks old.The staff and vet totally blew us away with their care and treatment of Abby and also how wonderful they were to us.We were also happy with the costs as it was less than we were expecting and less than previous vets we've been to in the past.Highly recommend Mayde Creek Animal Health Center"
