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.

In preparation for your pet's visit, please email all previous records, medical history, medications, etc. prior to your pet's visit to eldoradovet@gmail.com so that our team can be better prepared to receive you and your pet.

Before Your First Appointment
  1. Complete all Patient Forms 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 - if possible, please email these documents to us prior to your visit
    • 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.
  5. Feel free to bring your pet's favorite treats to keep them happy and distracted!

Arrive early to fill out paperwork

“I’m so glad we found Dr. Thomson and his team at Eldorado Animal Hospital. They are so attentive to our dogs and it’s so evident that they love what they do. I love knowing that our babies are in good hands at Eldorado Animal Hospital. 10/10 recommend!”
