Preparing for Admission

Preparing your pet for admission at the veterinary clinic is essential for their comfort and well-being. Here's a helpful guide to ensure a smooth process:

1. Confirm Appointment: Our clinic staff will contact you 12 to 24 hours prior to your admission date to confirm your appointment time. If you need to make an admission time, contact the veterinary clinic to schedule your pet's admission. This allows the clinic to prepare for your pet's arrival and ensures they can accommodate your preferred date and time.
2. Documentation: Gather any necessary documents, including your pet's medical history, vaccination records, and any insurance information you may need for their visit. Providing this information helps the veterinary team better understand your pet's health needs. If you are unsure of what may be required, please ask.
3. Fasting Instructions: If your pet is scheduled for surgery or a certain diagnostic procedures, they may need to fast beforehand. Follow the fasting instructions provided by the clinic, typically refraining from food for a specified period before admission. However, always ensure your pet has access to water overnight unless instructed otherwise.
4. Medication: Follow any medication instructions provided by our veterinarian. Some medications may need to be administered as usual, while others may need to be temporarily stopped before admission. Clarify any questions about medication with our staff.
5. Comfort Items: Pack any comfort items that will help your pet feel at ease during their stay, such as their favorite blanket or toy. Familiar scents can provide comfort in an unfamiliar environment.
6. Leash or Carrier: Transport your pet in a secure carrier or on a leash to ensure their safety during travel and upon arrival at the clinic. This prevents escapes and reduces stress for your pet and others in the clinic.
7. Arrive On Time: Arrive at the veterinary clinic at the designated time for your pet's admission. This allows sufficient time for paperwork, discussions with the veterinary team, and a smooth transition for your pet. If you are running late, please call the clinic to inform us.
8. Communicate: Inform the veterinary team of any specific concerns, behaviors, or medical history relevant to your pet's care. Open communication ensures the team can provide personalized attention and address any special needs.
9. Comforting Goodbyes: Offer reassuring words and affection to your pet before leaving them in the care of the veterinary team. Reassure your pet that you'll be back to pick them up soon.

By following these steps, you can help ensure a stress-free and successful admission for your pet at the veterinary clinic, promoting their comfort and well-being throughout their stay.
