Before Your Visit

How to Prepare

✓Have referral paperwork from your primary veterinarian ready. This can be submitted beforehand or brought to your appointment.
✓For diagnostic appointments, your pet should be fasted from all food and water after 10 PM the night before your appointment.
✓If your pet is diabetic, please let us know beforehand so we can advise on adjustments to fasting requirements.
✓Chemotherapy consultations do not require fasting.
✓Know all medications your pet is currently taking so we can make appropriate adjustments if necessary.
