VWCNH Welcome Form

When You Arrive

Our Client Services Representatives will greet you and your pet and check you in. They may hand you a Welcome Form to fill out, which will verify all the information we have on file.

While the Veterinary Technicians and Veterinarians are preparing to see your pet, you are welcome to sit with them in our lobby, which includes calming water features and fun, interactive, and informational components!

Clients with cats are welcome to use our walled-off Cat Lobby to separate them from our other patients.

During the Exam

During the exam, if your pet becomes fearful or anxious, our skilled team will be able to identify worsening signs of distress and recommend customized plans for you and your pet to ease their stress and make their future appointments happier.

Once every 6 months, it is advised that you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam, and may also include services such as vaccines and bloodwork. Our healthcare team will check your pet from head to tail and address any concerns you may have.

Referrals to Specialists

In some circumstances, our doctors will refer you to a specialist who has advanced expertise in areas such as Internal Medicine, Oncology, Radiology, etc. We have a full team of specialists at the Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine at 4 Devine Street in North Haven. That location also offers 24-hour emergency services.

Being a physician myself, I am aware that not all medical places are created equally. I spent a while researching different veterinary offices. I ended up choosing this one.
