Preparing for Your Visit
In preparation for your pet's upcoming appointment, please review the following check-in instructions.
If your pet is coming in for a Wellness or Illness appointment:
- Please fill out our Client Registration Form prior to your appointment, if you have not already done so in the past year.
- Please fill out the appropriate history form at least 24 hours before your appointment:
- Please bring a fresh (less than 24 hours old) stool sample from your pet with you to your appointment.
- If your pet is new and you have records from a breeder or rescue please take a picture of them and email them or text them to (269) 671-7207, in addition to bringing the physical copy to your appointment.
What to Bring to Your Appointment:
- For exotic pets, cats, and small dogs, please bring them in a secure carrier so they are safe during transport between the car and the clinic.
- For larger dogs, have a snug-fitting collar or a harness and a 4 to 6-foot leash.
- Please bring a face mask with you and wear it when you bring your pet into our vestibule.
