What to Expect

You do not need a referral, but please call your veterinarian to send over any previous records and radiographs they have for your pet.
Because we are a teaching hospital, you will be greeted by a student who will get a thorough history of your pet. The student will then have you return to the waiting room while your pet is taken into the hospital and evaluated by our veterinary team. Please do not leave during this assessment unless prior arrangements have been made. We will not be able to proceed with any treatment without your consent.
Once the assessment is complete, our veterinarian and student will return to talk to you about their findings and recommendations.
