Your first vet visit: what to expect

A checklist for the visit that sets up your pet's health record for years to come.

When to go

Book the first visit within 3–5 days of bringing your pet home, even if they seem healthy — it establishes a baseline.

What to bring

  • Any paperwork from the breeder or shelter.
  • A list of questions (no question is too small).
  • A fresh stool sample in a clean container.
