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.

"Hi My Fellow Village/Thousand Oaks/Agoura/Newbury Park Neighbors!.... People, like myself, create TRUE LIFE REVIEWS, so people like 'you' can make your opinion after reading some of the posted comments. That's why I am taking the time to tell you what happened yesterday. To start, I love my animals. In our family, they are part of us! Unfortunately, One of my Dogs is prone to having seizures. She had one yesterday. My son grabbed her and we hastily drove to"Anza Animal Clinic!"Upon arrival, they immediately sprung into action. Brittany the Nurse, saw Lulu's condition, swooped her up, took her to the back where the wonderful Dr Spadaro stabilized her. Within an hour Lulu was Diagnosed, Treated, Medicated, and I was given Meds for the Future. Holy Cow! THE BEST ANIMAL SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED in a long, long time. Brittany, Allison, and that really nice Dr Spadaro are for sure THE"A"TEAM for your animals well being. I am for sure using them for all my animals medical needs going forward! 5 out 5 's !!!"
