There are some things you need to know or bring when you schedule an appointment to see the vet:
- If you have specific questions, write them down on a list so you don’t forget to ask them.
- Have all paperwork (birth date, past vaccinations, medications) from the store, breeder, or organization where you attained your animal. If your pet has seen another vet, bring a copy of prior records.
- Make sure you know the answers to certain questions like:
- How long have you had your pet?
- How old is your pet?
- What is it eating? How much?
- Any vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, or sneezing?
- What preventatives for fleas, ticks, or heartworm are you using?
Being prepared for this first visit will make for a more efficient and thorough appointment.
