Do you see puppies and kittens?
Absolutely. We love meeting new additions to the family. Early veterinary visits are one of the best things you can do for a young pet—they give us a health baseline, get vaccinations started on the right schedule, and give you practical guidance for those first critical months of ownership.
How frequently should my pet visit the vet?
For most adult dogs and cats, once-yearly wellness exams are a good baseline. Puppies, kittens, and senior pets typically benefit from more frequent visits to account for rapid development or age-related changes. Pets managing ongoing health conditions may also need to come in more often—our team will help you figure out the right visit schedule for your pet.

You can book online anytime through our website or give us a call during clinic hours. Our team will help you find a time that works and answer any questions you have ahead of your visit.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bringing previous veterinary records is always helpful, along with a list of any medications, supplements, or foods your pet is currently receiving. If you've noticed any recent changes in behavior, appetite, or energy, jot those down too—that kind of detail helps our team hit the ground running.
