Yes, you can request your preferred veterinarian. If they are unavailable, we will arrange an appointment with another vet so your pet's care is not delayed.
When should my new puppy or kitten come in?
We recommend a first visit within the first week of joining your family. That visit lets us check their health, begin vaccinations, and discuss nutrition and preventive care to give them a strong start.
