Your 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.

“Everyone at Shores is helpful, efficient, and caring. I feel very comfortable putting my cats into their capable hands. The doctor called as promised and was very patient in explaining his diagnosis and answering my questions. Shores Animal Clinic is a great resource for animal lovers! It came highly recommended to me and I have passed that recommendation on to others. :)”
