Your Pet's First Visit

A pet's first visit to the vet can seem a bit daunting, so we've put together a list of info and resources to help you prepare. 

At your first appointment, we will gather information about your pet’s background, health, diet, and training. We can also address any questions or concerns you might have.

Your veterinarian will examine your pet from nose-to-tail, looking for things like heart murmurs, ear infections, and/or parasites. Your vet can also provide pet-proofing tips, training assistance, and parasite protection recommendations. 

Before Your First Appointment
  1. Complete the New Client Form prior to your first visit.
  2. Assemble and be sure to bring all the proper items with you:
    • Your pet's adoption or purchase records
    • Any existing medical history
    • A list of current medications and supplements
    • Current feeding schedule and the brand of food you use
    • A list of questions you have for your veterinarian
  3. Collect any necessary stool or urine samples, if requested.
  4. If you're bringing in your dog, be sure he or she is accustomed to being on a short leash. If you're bringing a cat, be sure to have an appropriate carrier.
  5. Feel free to bring your pet's favorite treats to keep them happy and distracted!

Appointment Policies

​Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your pet's appointment for check-in. If you have not filled out all relevant patient forms yet, plan to arrive 10 minutes ahead of your appointment.

While we do our best to make sure all of our patients are seen on time, there will be times of occasional unexpected delay due to an emergency or because we are providing care for a patient that needs a little more time. Please accept our apologies should this occur, and understand that the same dedication and courtesy will be provided to your pet should they ever need it.

"Me and my husband had to call them this morning to bring our beautiful sweet baby Baylor a golden retriever who was very sick and they got us straight in, we told them how bad he had gotten in just 2 days and they told us what we kind of knew and that was he was to sick to save. They were the best staff and Dr Sue Leonard was so good to us and felt our pain of loosing our sweet boy who was only 6 years old and the nurses and technicians were even crying because they all cared how we felt and what our baby was going through, they let us stay in there with him and love on him through his last moments with us. They told us to spend as much time in there with him that we wanted. I love the whole staff there for making such a painful situation easier to deal with. Our boy will be missed but I am grateful we took him there to the best place ever so if you ever need a vet for any reason even simple ones I recommend the country view animal hospital, you will be treated like family there. Thank you all for being so good to us and explaining it all to but more than anything thank you all for giving our baby boy a gentle loving feeling before he went to heavenSincerelyGreg and Donna Miller"
