Here's How It Works

We've designed every step of your visit to be clear, comfortable, and focused entirely on your pet's wellbeing.

Schedule an Appointment

Call us at (386) 423-9551 and we'll find a time that works for you. All patients are seen by appointment, so we can give your pet our full, undivided attention from the moment you arrive.

  • Monday–Thursday: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
  • Friday: 8:00 am – 12:00 pm
  • Same-day appointments available when possible

Gather Your Pet's Records

In order for our staff and doctors to be able to prepare for your pet's appointment ahead of time, please email us your pets medical records or let us know where your pet was seen previously and we can call to have their records emailed to us.

If it is not possible to get the records to us ahead of time, please bring any medical history you have when you come in. It's helpful to keep a journal of your pet's health and share it with our team.

  • Previous vaccination records
  • Prior lab work or imaging results
  • List of current medications or supplements
  • Notes on any symptoms or behavioral changes
  • Don't worry if you don't have everything — our team can work with whatever you have

Arrive & Check In

Our bright, welcoming reception area — complete with our hand-painted pet mural — is designed to set your pet at ease from the moment you walk through the door. Our front desk team will get you checked in quickly and comfortably.

  • Arrive 5–10 minutes early for new patient paperwork
  • Dogs must be on a leash or in a secure carrier; cats must be in a secure carrier
  • Let us know about any anxiety your pet may have

The Examination

One of our licensed veterinarians will perform a thorough head-to-tail physical examination of your pet. This is your time to ask questions — we want you to leave feeling informed and confident about your pet's health.

  • Complete nose-to-tail physical assessment
  • Oral examination for dental health
  • Weight, temperature, and vital signs checked
  • Discussion of diet, lifestyle, and preventive care
  • Optional bloodwork to screen for underlying conditions

Diagnostics & Treatment

If diagnostics are needed, most can be performed right here in our clinic — no referrals or long waits required. Our in-house lab, digital X-ray, and ultrasound capabilities mean we can often diagnose and begin treatment in a single visit.

  • In-house bloodwork with same-visit results
  • Digital X-ray imaging available on-site
  • Abdominal and cardiac ultrasound
  • In-house pharmacy for same-day prescriptions

Your Care Plan & Next Steps

Before you leave, your veterinarian will walk you through everything — findings, recommendations, and any follow-up care. We want you to feel fully prepared to care for your pet at home.

  • Clear explanation of all findings and recommendations
  • Prescription filled on-site if needed
  • Follow-up appointment scheduled if required
  • Our team is always available by phone if questions arise

Annual wellness exams recommended for every pet

The Annual Exam — Your Pet's Health Checkpoint

Once a year, your pet should be brought in for a complete physical exam — essentially a full health check-up. One of our licensed veterinarians will check the health of your pet from head to tail and provide any necessary medical advice or recommendations to keep them thriving.

We believe in preventive care. Catching problems early — before they become serious — is one of the most important things we can do for your pet's long-term health and quality of life.

Your annual exam includes:

  • Full head-to-tail physical assessment
  • Oral & dental examination
  • Weight & body condition score
  • Heart & lung auscultation
  • Eye, ear & skin evaluation
  • Lymph node palpation
  • Vaccination review & updates
  • Optional preventive bloodwork
  • Parasite prevention discussion
  • Nutrition & lifestyle counseling

What to Bring to Your Appointment

A little preparation goes a long way toward making your visit smooth and productive.

Vaccination Records

Any prior vaccine history, including rabies certificates, helps us build on your pet's existing preventive care record.

Previous Lab Results

Prior bloodwork, urinalysis, X-rays, or specialist reports give us a valuable baseline for comparison.

Current Medications

Bring all medications, supplements, flea/tick preventives, and heartworm products your pet is currently taking.

Notes on Symptoms

Written notes about changes in eating, drinking, energy, behavior, or bathroom habits — even small things — help us piece together the full picture.

Food & Diet Info

What your pet eats, how much, and how often is important context for wellness discussions and weight management.

Your Questions

Write down anything you want to ask before you come in. No question is too small — we're here to help you understand your pet's health completely.

We'll Guide You Every Step of the Way

In some circumstances, we may refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise beyond general veterinary practice. When that's the right call for your pet, we'll make a warm referral and coordinate with the specialist to ensure continuity of care. We remain your primary veterinary team throughout.
