Always call before visiting to confirm the clinic treats your particular species.
Choosing a Local Veterinarian
When choosing a vet, consider:

Walk-in vs. appointment-only
-
Types of animals treated
-
Emergency arrangements
-

If your pet has an ongoing medical condition, also ask whether the clinic provides the specific care or diagnostics you need.
Before Your First Visit
Bring:
-

Previous veterinary records
-
Current medications
-
Microchip information
-
Medical history
-
