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.

“Dr. Vestal and his staff have been taking care of my pets for over 25 years. We have had many wonderful relationships with the different staff members. Most of the employees stay a very long time, they seem to love their jobs and certainly are good to clients and pets alike. I drive from the far north side to bring my pets to Dodd and would not ever change.”
